The 4WFBS350 is a 4-wire, full-bridge module that provides completion resistors for a strain gage or other sensor that acts as a single variable resistor. This module should be used to measure sensors that have a 350 ohm nominal resistance.
Read MoreThe 4WFBS350 completes a full Wheatstone bridge. It can also be used to complete the back half of a Wheatstone bridge for use in a ¼ bridge strain circuit (one active element) using a dummy gage, or in a ½ bridge strain circuit (two active elements). The Wheatstone bridge circuit converts small changes in resistance to an output voltage that our data loggers can measure.
The 4WFBS350 includes two external pins that allow customers to perform shunt calibrations, which are used to correct for sensitivity errors.

The 4WFBS350 is compatible with our multiplexers.
The 4WFBS350 uses one differential analog input; an adjacent analog ground channel accepts the "ground prong" of the 4WFBS350. Not all data logger terminal strips have this sequence on all channels, so please check your data logger's wiring panel to confirm channel assignments, especially if you plan to use multiple Terminal Input Modules.
The lead wire that emanates from the head of the 4WFBS350 connects to a data logger excitation channel.
Please note that if a CR10X will be used to measure thermocouples in the same application, newer CR10X Wiring Panels and the CR10XTCR Reference Thermistor (with its accompanying Thermocouple Cover) are deep enough to cover the data logger input channels with a Terminal Input Module attached; older CR10TCRs are not deep enough.
The 4WFBS350 is measured with the BrFull Instruction in CRBasic, and with Instruction 6 (Full Bridge) in Edlog.

Each data logger has specific excitation current sourcing capability. It is imperative not to exceed this current limit when trying to excite multiple strain gages from the same excitation channel.
More than one strain gage sensor can use the same excitation terminal if the bridge resistance is high enough or the excitation voltage is limited. The limit is determined by the current capacity of the excitation terminal (25 mA at 2.5 V) and the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
作为一个全桥应变tran ST350设计sducer with four active elements that can be directly connected to a data logger (or a multiplexer connected to a data logger) without adding a completion module such as the 4WFBS350 or 4WFBS120.
To make strain gage measurements, a terminal input module is needed. It is necessary to match the resistance of the strain gage with the resistance of the terminal input module.
The CR1000 excitation channel current limit is 25 mA at 2500 mV. Using 350 ohm gages with multiple 4WFBS350 modules, up to five gages can be hooked up for each excitation channel with 2500 mV excitation.
