Increased Channel Capacity  zoom In
You can easily increase the number of analog and digital channels that your dataTaker has by using the Channel Expansion Module (CEM).

Designed to suit the DT500, DT505, DT515, DT600, DT605, DT615 dataTakers, each CEM will add 10 differential or 30 single ended analogue voltage channels, or 10 resistance or RTD channels, or 10 current or 4–20mA loop channels, in any combination. The analog input channels use relay multiplexing, providing voltage measurement of up to ±100V when used in conjunction with relay multiplexed dataTakers.

The CEM also has 20 digital input channels, as well as 5 open collector
200mA/30Vdc digital outputs and 5 voltage free 110Vac/5A contacts.
