VariTrans^® B 10000

Flexibility at low cost
With its extreme compactness and low self-heating, the new standard-signal isolator from Knick sets new standards. The VariTrans® B 10000 P0 is available with 9 selectable, calibrated ranges or as one of 8 different
variants with fixed settings. In any case it has an extremely attractive price. Measuring only 6 mm, the closed modular housing of the VariTrans® B 10000 P0 allows up to 160 active isolation amplifiers per meter top-hat rail.
Power can be supplied through bus connectors which are inserted in the DIN rail to reduce wiring effort. The isolation amplifiers are simply snapped onto the prepared rail and are immediately connected to the central 24 V
power supply.

Beneficial technology
In spite of the reduced space, the VariTrans® B 10000 P0 provides true 3-port isolation between input, output, and power supply to prevent parasitic voltages. Analog signal processing with transformer isolation ensures
excellent signal transmission. Input and output ranges are easily selected using DIP switches.

The Knick 6 mm housings have been standardized to ensure optimal and easy operation of the modules in conjunction with other devices. The VariTrans® B 10000 P0 now come in a standardized 8-pin housing although 3-port standard signal isolators only require 6 terminal pins.

Fast and safe
In this way, power can be supplied to all associated devices through bus connectors which are simply inserted in the DIN rail. Snap-on and start – it couldn't be easier! Of course, there are still screw terminals to allow
conventional power supply.

Energizing news
The permissible voltage range has been significantly increased to 24 V DC ±25 % ensuring reliable functioning in even broader applications.

Calibrated range selection and outstanding durability
As a matter of course, all new 6 mm isolation amplifers provide calibrated range selection without complicated adjustments and are covered by a 5-year warranty like all Knick modules. The failure rate of the devices is almost negligibly small: the mean time between failures (MTBF) for Knick devices usually lies in the range of several
hundred years. This reliability brings enormous benefits to our customers, as system control errors due to a
failing isolation module can cause costs which are considerably higher than the complete investment in isolation technology.

Good bargain
The new 6 mm isolation amplifiers with all their advantages are offered at the price of their predecessors – a little sensation in times of permanent price increase.

Control is better
Reliability is ensured for all Knick 6 mm standard signal isolation amplifiers by a smart circuit design – and by the 100 % test which is performed on all Knick isolation modules at the end of the production process. This is not a given in today's industry but has been and is common practice at Knick for decades.
