Sensor Description:

The DT004 sensor is a regular voltage sensor, measuring Voltage values between -50 and 50 mVolts. The DT004 is a differential sensor, capable of measuring both direct and alternate current. The sensor uses Fourier Systems’ Egg Shaped sensor case. The DT004 has floating inputs, meaning you can connect any number of voltage sensors to a circuit without shortening them.

The Voltage sensor should be connected parallel to the measured electronic circuit. The measured voltage goes through an amplifier unit and is adjusted to the range of 0-5 volts, which is the range accepted by the Analog-Digital converter. The proper result is than recorded into the Data Logger’s memory.

The DT004 is equipped with buffer units, protecting the sensor from voltages of up to ± 60 Volts.

The DT004 is calibration is automatically calibrated. No calibration is needed.

What is it used for:

The DT004 sensor can be used in various experiments such as capacitor charging and discharging, the study of voltage characteristics of a light bulb and a diode, measurements of internal resonance and EMF and damped oscillations. It is specially designed for measurements of very low and accurate voltages.
