CHESTER-X3

This article describes the CHESTER-X3A, CHESTER-X3B and CHESTER-X3C extension modules.


CHESTER-X3A Module Overview​

CHESTER-X3A provides 2 inputs for RTD (resistive temperature devices) sensors, such as Pt 100 and Pt 1000. Each input supports 4 wire sensor connection to improve the accuracy.

CHESTER-X3B Module Overview​

CHESTER-X3B allows connecting 2 type-K thermocouples (types B/C/E/J/N/R/S/T support on request) using 2 wire sensor connection.

First sensor connects to CH1A(-) and CH1B(+). If X3B is in the slot A, then you have to use terminals A2(-) and A3(+).

The second sensor connects to CH2A(-) and CH2B(+). If X3B is in the slot A, then you have to use terminals A6(-) and A7(+).

CHESTER-X3C Module Overview​

CHESTER-X3C provides 2 inputs for load-cell (strain gauge) that can be used for weight measurements. Each channel use 4 wire connection.
