    MANUAL

Model JH4051I supplies DC excitation to a strain gauge or other resistance bridge, amplifies the bridge output and provides a proportional DC voltage or current. A fixed-range device, it is precisely calibrated to your specified range at the factory. 

Red-green Quick-Check LEDs give a quick indication of the relative output. Red is brighter at the low end, green at high, while at mid-scale both are approximately equal. Red-only indicates offscale low while green-only indicates offscale high.

Available options include AC or DC power choices and reverse-action Option RT (decreasing output with increasing input).

ORDERING INFORMATION

Model Number: 

Select JH4051I-AC for AC power, JH4051I-DC for DC power.
Bridge Excitation: 

Specify any voltage between 4 and 12Vdc. Will be factory set to 10V if not specified on your order. User-adjustable. (Note: 40mA maximum load. For 120ohm bridges, specify 4.8V or less.)
Input Range:  Specify any input range allowed by the "Input Capabilities" spec, below. Specify either as millivolts per volt, or as millivolts. (Millivolts equals millivolts-per-volt multiplied by the excitation voltage. For example, 0-2.0 mV/V at 10V excitation equals 0-20mV.)
Output Range: 

Specify any DC voltage or current range allowed by the "Output Capabilities" spec, below.
Power: 

Specify 115Vac, 230Vac, 12Vdc or 24Vdc.
Reverse-Acting Transmitter (decreasing output with increasing input): 

Specify Option RT.
Loop-Powered Output: 

4/20mA "current sink" output stage for connection to devices whose inputs provide 24Vdc loop excitation. Specify Option LPO.
Urethane Coating:  

Specify Option U

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

The JH4051I plugs into any standard 11-pin circular ("octal") relay socket. JH Technology offers a socket suitable for DIN-rail or surface mounting (see the Accessories page). Pin connections are:

Pin 1: Power (AC or, if DC power option, DC plus).
Pin 2: No connection.
Pin 3: Power (AC or, if DC power option, DC minus).
Pin 4: Input plus (bridge output).
Pin 5: Input minus (bridge output).
Pin 6:  No Connection 
Pin 7: Bridge excitation plus.
Pin 8: Bridge excitation minus.
Pin 9: Output plus.
Pin 10: Output minus.
Pin 11: No connection.
