ELT2 ADC Module

The ADC-module is a module that fits inside the ELT2 and is intended for connecting PT1000 platinum sensors or use as a general purpose bridge amplifier (e.g. load cell).

Features

ELSYS ELT2 ADC Module - fig

  • Easy use with PT-1000 (RTD platinum sensor)
  • 2- or 4-wire connection
  • Measures -200 to 790 °C
  • General high resolution bridge amplifier
  • Fits inside the ELT-2 box
  • Powered by the ELT-2 internal battery
  • Very low energy consumtion
  • Terminal block for easy connection

Accuracy (RTD)
± 0.1 °C (-40 to 200°C) + sensor deviation.
± 0.5 °C (full span) + sensor deviation.ELSYS ELT2 ADC Module - fig

Using the ADC module with a PT1000 RTD

  • Set the switch on the module to “RTD”
  • Set external sensor in the ELT2 to “PT1000”
  • Read temperature value in degrees Celsius with data type “External temperature” (0x0C)

Using the ADC module with a load cell/measurement bridge

  • Set the switch on the module to “Bridge”
  • Set external sensor in the ELT2 to “Load cell”
  • Read voltage from measurement in micro-volt with data type “External analog (uV)” (0x1B)
  • To calculate deflexion of a load cell, also read internal battery voltage (0x07), multiply the 2 voltage measurements to get a value that can be compared to the load cell full scale output.

Calculation example for load cell:

  • Load cell full scale is 2 mV/V @ 50 kg
  • External analog reads 1274 uV from payload (0x1B)
  • Internal battery reads 3628 mV from payload (0x07)

Full scale voltage is calculated to 2mV/V x 3628 mV = 7256 uV
Bridge voltage is then 1274/7256 of full scale, thus weight is 1274/7256 x 50 kg = 8,78 kg.
Note that maximum reading from ADC module is +- 28,000 uV (+- 28 mV)
