The ALA5 is an Atex-approved strain gauge/load cell amplifier designed for operation within hazardous zones 0, 1 and 2.
The amplifier provides two-wire, 4-20mA current loop output and connects in-line for a range of signal conditioning for strain gauges, load cells, accelerometers, and pressure and torque transducers.
ALA5 is intrinsically safe to EN60079-11 (previously EN 50020) standards.
The device can be connected to Atex-approved equipment within the hazardous zone or to non-approved Atex equipment outside the hazardous zone, provided that a suitable barrier is used.
