completion, bridge balance, amplifier balance, bridge-exci-
tation regulator and shunt calibration.
SPECIFICATIONS
These specifications apply for each of two independent
channels per module.
Inputs:
Quarter (120Ω/1000Ω and 350Ω), half and full bridge
(50-1000Ω). Quarter-bridge dummy gages provided.
Bridge Excitation:
0.5 to 12 Vdc (adjustable for each channel)
with 120Ω full-bridge load.
Short-circuit current:
<40 mA.

mV max.
Load regulation:
±0.2%
no-load to 120Ω load (10% line
change).
Bridge Balance:

1µV p-p at 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz; 2µV p-p at 0.1 Hz to 100 Hz;
2µV at 0.1 Hz to 50 kHz.
Noise RTO:
50µV p-p at 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz; 80µV p-p at 0.1 Hz to
100 Hz; 100µV at 0.1 Hz to 15 kHz; 200µV at
0.1 Hz to 50 kHz.
Input Impedance:

Optional Feature:
May be ordered with, or be field upgraded for, remote-
operation relays for control of shunt calibration and bridge
excitation (off). Requires remote-operation capability in the
Model 2150 or 2160. Contact Vishay Micro-Measurements
for details.
