Current Source and Sink Limits
Terminal
Limit
1
1
"Source" is positive amperage; "sink" is negative amperage (–).
2
Exceeding current limits will cause voltage output to become unstable. Voltage should stabilize
once current is again reduced to within stated limits.
3
A polyfuse is used to limit power. Result of overload is a voltage drop. To reset, disconnect
and allow circuit to cool. Operating at the current limit is OK so long a a little fluctuation can be
tolerated.
4
Polyfuse protected. See footnote 3.
5
Current is limited by a current limiting circuit, which holds the current at the maximum by
dropping the voltage when the load is too great.
7.5.1 Switched-Voltage Excitation
Three switched, analog-output (excitation) terminals (
VX1
to
VX3
) operate under
program control to provide ±2500 mV dc excitation. Check the accuracy
specification of terminals configured for exctitation in
CR1000 Specifications
(p.
to understand their limitations. Specifications are applicable only for loads not
exceeding ±25 mA.

Note
Square-wave ac excitation for use with polarizing bridge sensors is
configured with the
RevEx
parameter of the bridge instructions.
7.5.2 Continuous Regulated (5V Terminal)
The
5V
terminal is regulated and remains near 5 Vdc (
±
4%) so long as the
CR1000 supply voltage remains above 9.6 Vdc. It is intended for power sensors
or devices requiring a 5 Vdc power supply. It is not intended as an excitation
source for bridge measurements. However, measurement of the
5V
terminal
output, by means of jumpering to an analog input on the same CR1000), will
facilitate an accurate bridge measurement if
5V
must be used.

excitation load capacity.
7.5.3 Continuous Unregulated Voltage (12V Terminal)

12V
terminals to continuously power devices that require 12 Vdc. Voltage
