Certificates of Compliance
Laureate™ digital panel meters, digital counters and 6-digit remote displays offer a choice of two high-frequency switching power supplies. These provide stable, (isolated) power for instrument operation plus excitation outputs at a substantially reduced weight and over a broader range of input voltages and power frequencies than conventional linear supplies.
- LPS1: High voltage AC or DC power. The standard Laureate supply accepts power from 85-264 Vac, 47-63 Hz. This allows the same meter to operate worldwide without modification. The supply also accepts 90 to 300 Vdc (high voltage DC operation not ETL approved).
- LPS2: Low voltage AC or DC power. An optional low voltage supply operates from 10 to 48 Vdc or 12 to 30 Vac, 47-63 Hz. This supply allows the Laureate to be powered from batteries or from 28 Vac, 400 Hz aircraft power (400 Hz operation not ETL approved).
(isolated) Excitation Output
Each power supply provides three jumper-selectable, (isolated) excitation outputs: 5 Vdc at 100 mA, 10 Vdc at 120 mA, 12Vdc at 100mA, or 24 Vdc at 50 mA. These outputs can be used to power external sensors, transmitters and up to four 350 ohm load cells in parallel, thereby avoiding the need for an expensive external supply. When powering a load cell or potentiometer, a ratiometric operating mode can be selected, where the meter monitors the excitation supply and removes the effects of voltage variation.
In addition to the (isolated) excitation output, regulated 5 Vdc at up to 50 mA is brought out and can be used to power external logic.
Wiring of Excitation Output
|
|
||||||||
- With four-wire transmitters, two wires are used to apply 10 or 24 Vdc, and two separate wires are used to sense the transmitter's 4-20 mA output.
- With two-wire transmitters, the same two wires are used to power the transmitter and carry the 4-20 mA output, which is made to flow across an internal 10 ohm resistor between pins 3 and 4.
Both power supplies and their connectors (standard) are designed to UL/IEC/CSA safety standards. The two supplies also do double-duty by providing two connector inputs (A & B) and a digital ground for signals such as meter hold, reset, tare, etc. These signals do not affect power supply operation.
