Product Specification

Generic Sensor Board
"GSB" (Generic Sensor Board) is a universal electronic module for all sensor types. It can be used both for controlling the amperometric and potentiometric sensors.

At this module, sensor temperature is precisely controlled to a constant temperature by microcontroller. The linearized output signal is available as a voltage signal (0-5V), current signal (4-20mA) or digital via RS232.

Ele
ctronic sensor interface for oxygen sensors

• Sensor interface board for direct integration in customer application
• Demonstration board for laboratory sensor evaluations

GSB - Generic Sensor Board Main Features

Measurement accuracy – sensor characteristic
If operated at recommended conditions the measurement accuracy will be primarily limited by the sensor accuracy. Also the dynamic sensor characteristic will not be significantly changed by the GSB. See Sensor data sheet for more details.
