DC Current Sensors

Connect directly to any XR5 Data Logger input channel.  No external power required.  Also connects directly to any recorder or data acquisition system with a 0-5vdc input and 5vdc excitation.  Up to three DC Current Sensors can be powered from one XR5 Data Logger.


DC100A Current Sensor (±100 amps dc)

Specifications - PACE DC Current Sensors
Total output error

±1% of full scale at 25°C

Zero offset ±0.15% of F.S. maximum (-40 to 80°C)
