Calex Mfg. Co., Inc. of Concord, California announces the availability of the Calex Model 8511 and 8512. These signal conditioners provide a low cost solution ideal for applications where single point, isolated thermocouple signal conditioning is required. The 8511 and 8512 are designed to operate into a common 24 volt, 7mA PLC high-speed counter input. They are well suited for applications such as remote temperature monitoring.

The 8511 is designed for use with a Type J Thermocouple over a temperature range of 0°C to 500°C. The 8512 is designed for use with a Type K Thermocouple over a temperature range of 0°C to 500°C.

Both signal conditioners utilize linearization and cold junction compensation. The output frequency is 100Hz at 0°C to 5100Hz at +500°C providing 12 bit resolution. The output optocoupler provides DC isolation from the input and the 24 VDC power.

The 8511 and 8512 are housed in a plastic case with an in-built DIN Rail mounting foot. The case dimensions are 3.78'' (L) x 1.06'' (W) x 1.65'' (H). All connections are made to easily accessible screw terminals. They are backed by Calex’s five-year warranty and are UL 508 and UL 1604 compliant.
