Kipp&Zonen AMPBOX Amplifier - Manual (Page 11)

11
Gain is another word for amplification. The gain of the AMPBOX is programmeable using special tools. Kipp & Zonen can supply
three different settings of the AMPBOX.
2.1. Standard gain
The standard gain of 1 mA / 2 mV means the AMPBOX is configured for 1 mA change in output at 2 mV change in input. This means
it will sink the current from 4 to 20 mA at 0 to 32 mV input coming from the radiometer.
Any incoming voltage level higher than 32 mV will still result in the maximum current sink of 20 mA.
Note Until the end of 2011 the standard AMPBOX gain setting was 1 mA / 1 mV, this was changed to 1 mA / 2 mV at the
beginning of 2012.
