Tech Tips and Tricks: 

Measuring Voltages Above 3 Volts with 

V-Link-LXRS and SG-Link-LXRS

Andrew Deering, Senior Support Engineer

Andrew Deering

Technical Support Engineer, Sensing Systems

  

This month Andrew explains how to measure voltages above 3 volts with V-Link®-LXRS® and SG-Link®-LXRS®.

 

The LORD MicroStrain V-Link-LXRS Wireless 7 Channel Analog Input Sensor Node has 3 single-ended input channels (channels 5, 6 and 7) which are designed to measure 0-3 volt DC sensors. The SG-Link-LXRS

Wireless 2 Channel Analog Input Sensor Node has 1 single-ended input channel (channel 4) which is likewise designed to measure 0-3 volt DC sensors.

 

Measuring sensors (and voltages) with ranges above 3 volts can still be accomplished with the V-Link-LXRS and SG-Link-LXRS by following this general set of instructions. This technical note explains measurement of a regulated power supply using V-Link-LXRS and Node Commander software; the SG-Link-LXRS mirrors the instruction.

Application Note: Industrial Energy Metering

 

The industrial sector consumes more than one-third of all U.S. energy, yet visibility into machine-level energy and power usage remains limited-- despite economic pressure to optimize industrial process efficiency. Decoupling energy monitoring from cumbersome wires provides a scalable, easy to install solution for distributed load control, process allocation, and long-term equipment maintenance.

LORD MicroStrain's Watt-Link™ wireless energy meter allows facility owners and operators to remotely aggregate real-time energy data for evaluating high-load equipment, individual processes, or discrete production departments.
