Multiplexed- Low-Level Function Card
-
Low-level multiplexed systems have a single programmable gain, wide-band amplifier following the input multiplexer. To accommodate low-level signal signals such as those from strain gauges or thermocouples and at the same time high level signals from other sources, the throughput rate must be limited to enable the high bandwidth amplifier to settle to the correct value after switching to a new channel. This results in a relatively low aggregate throughput rate when compared to an amplifier-per-channel system. A major benefit of a well designed low-level multiplexed system is the extremely high performance/cost relationship.

Carbon Dioxide Meters
-
A carbon dioxide meter warns optically or acoustically when the carbon dioxide content is critical. Depending on the model, the carbon dioxide meter supports the function of switching relays when an adjusted value is exceeded. This function can help with the automatic conditioning of rooms. The auto calibration function of the carbon dioxide meter makes an easy calibration possible.The carbon dioxide meter supports the function of data storage and further data transfer of measuring results to a computer. Therefore, it is possible to take long-term measurements in order to capture the carbon dioxide content of a specific place for a longer period. Also, you can find a carbon dioxide meter for fixed installations. These can be applied individually or connected to a gas warning system.

Micro-Ohmmeters
-
Contact resistance measurement is one of the most important and common tests during switchgear manufacturing, commissioning and maintenance stages. Besides switchgear testing, the RMO digital micro-ohmmeters are designed for simple, safe and efficient testing of:disconnecting switches,high-current bus bar joints,cable splices,welding joints,and different high-current links in factory and high-induction field environments.All DV Power RMO micro-ohmmeters use Kelvin’s 4-point measurement principle which is the most convenient for very small resistance measurements. The measurements are accurate and in accordance with international standards for AC high-voltage circuit breakers testing (IEEE C37.09 and IEC 62271-100).Starting from 2003, DV Power has been a trend-setter on the market when our first 500 A micro-ohmmeter weighing only 8 kg (RMO500A / CPM500) was released.Currently, DV Power products portfolio includes 16 models, divided into 3 series:13 portable models: RMO-A (6) and RMO-G (7) series.6 handheld models: RMO-H (6) seriesThe instruments generate a user-selectable and ripple-free test current up to 800 A in an automatically regulated test ramp. Test current ramping significantly decreases the influence of the magnetic transients to measurement.

Precision RTD Simulator
RTD Series
-
The RTD Series Precision RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) Simulator provides a very broad-range of absolute resistance values that replace RTD's and thermocouples. Thermocouples present a resistance that depends on the temperature. The RTD simulator effectively replaces an RTD to test, analyze, and calibrate RTD measuring systems. The RTD Series simulator is a precision resistance source with excellent characteristics of accuracy, stability, temperature coefcient, and power coefcient. All these features serve to make it a laboratory resistance standard, exceeded in performance only by stand-alone standard resistors. The special design of the RTD Series provides absolute accuracy, and requires no zero resistance subtraction from any setting Special design of the RTD virtually eliminate zero resistance and switch contact variations, providing the specified absolute accuracy over the entire range.
