FAA-26
Microcontroller based analog load cell transmitter FAA-26 has very high accuracy
and long term stability with its high tech design.
This high accurate instrument gives the system designers a lot of advantages to
increase the system reliability and to reduce the installation and service times. All
instruments’ analog outputs are matched in the production to perform calibration at
PLC and for changing the instrument without recalibration in service if adjustment is
done in PLC.
There are 2 rotary switches and annunciator LED’s in front of the instrument.
The upper rotary switch adjusts unloaded scale’s analog output level (zero
adjustment) and the lower rotary switch adjusts gain of the instrument. The front view
and pin descriptions of FAA-26 is shown below.
