Explosion proof load cell signal conditioner
ATEX, 4 - 20 mA | ALA5 Mantracourt Electronics Ltd

The ALA5 is an ATEX approved strain gauge/load cell amplifier designed for operation within hazardous zones 0,1 & 2.

The high performance amplifier provides 2-wire 4-20mA current loop output and connects in-line for a range of signal conditioning for strain gauges, load cells, pressure and torque transducers. Intrinsically safe to EN60079-11 (previously EN 50020) standards.

The device can be connected to ATEX approved equipment within the hazardous zone or to non-approved ATEX equipment outside the hazardous zone provided that a suitable barrier is used.

Designed for fitting in-line to strain gauge sensors such as load cells, the amplifier is housed within a stainless steel IP67 NEMA 4 EMC protected enclosure and is supplied with 1m strain gauge cable and 5m output cable.

Benefits include:

Intrinsically Safe to EN60079-11
Provides 2-wire 4-20mA current loop output
Fast calibration via gain and offset trim
Bridge impedance min 350 Ohms max 5000 Ohms
Wide temperature range -40C to +85C
Supplied with 1m strain gauge cable and 5m output cable
Robust design, reverse polarity & short circuit protected

An OEM option is available for customers wishing to embed the ATEX amplifier within the sensor. Please note: the ICA5ATEX is approved for incorporation into load cells and other enclosures. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
