The C.A 2100-P is particularly designed for the measurement of process signals output by “high level” sensors, with
direct readout in engineering units. Equipped as standard with a supply for sensors, it accepts the most widely used signals,
in the range ±10 V or ±20 mA. The display rule is programmable directly from the keyboard, without any calculation having to
be made. Very useful in certain applications such as weighing, the C.A 2100-P can acquire an OFFSET from the keyboard, by
simple acquisition of the measured value (tare).

The C.A 2100-C is specially designed for measuring loads (weights, forces, couples, pressures, etc.) by means of
low-level sensors such as strain gauge bridges. Here again, the display rule can be programmed directly on the keyboard.
To facilitate calibration for weighing applications, the C.A 2100 can acquire an OFFSET from the keyboard by simply capturing
the measurement.

The C.A 2100-T is designed for temperature measurement, from J, K, T, couples or Pt 100 Ω resistances. The measurements
can be displayed in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, with a resolution of a degree or a tenth of a degree. By programming, an
offset can be introduced to correct the possible shift of the temperature sensor.

And the C.A 2100-E is specially designed for the measurement of AC or DC electric signals: voltages up to 600 V and
electric currents up to 5 A on direct input. Currents greater than
5 A will be measured by connection to a current transformer or a
shunt. Connected to a tachometric dynamo or to an alternator,
the C.A 2100-E allows the display of speeds directly in the
desired unit.
For voltage measurements, the instrument has four set ranges

electrical pulses and can be used to set up a meter, a count-

The C.A 2200-P is particularly designed for the measurement, over 32,000 counts, of process signals issued by “high
level” sensors, with direct readout in engineering units. Equipped as standard with a supply for sensors (3 values), it accepts
the most widely used signals, in the range ±10 V or ±20 mA, and can also be connected to a potentiometric type transducer,
for the measurement of displacement, of length, etc.
The display rule is directly programmable on the keyboard and can be linearised on 11 segments for sensors with non-linear output.
Very useful in certain applications such as weighing, the C.A 2200-P can take an OFFSET from the keyboard, by simple acquisition
of the measured value (tare). Lastly, four logical inputs allow four remote controls, chosen among 26 preprogrammed functions.

The C.A 2200-C is specially designed for measuring loads (weights, forces, couples, pressures, etc.) over a range
of 32,000 counts by means of low-level sensors such as strain gauge bridges. It can also be connected to the terminals
of a DC intensity shunt. The display rule is directly programmable on the keyboard and can be linearised on 11 segments.
To facilitate calibration for weighing applications, the C.A 2200-C can acquire an
OFFSET from the keyboard by simply capturing the measurement. Lastly, four
logical inputs allow four remote controls, chosen among 26 preprogrammed

The C.A 2200-T is designed for temperatures measurements, from J, K, T, R,

S, E couples or Pt 100 Ω resistances. The measurements can be displayed in
C.A 2200-D degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, with a resolution of a degree or a tenth of degree.

Small details that make all the difference.

These functions provide extra performance to meet the current industrial requirements. With DPM’s, it is now possible to:
• Generate new functions with or without interfacing with other systems to limit the complexity of the production and
quality testing equipment
• Place these functions under the control of operations managed by systems which are not part of the measurement chain
• Recover the data for testing in a simple way.
For example:
Function 10. This command, which displays the actual value of the input signal, can be used to check that the sensor is operating correctly.
Functions 13 to 16. These commands index the analogue output to derived values instead of to the measurement value.
Functions 17 to 23. These commands send a memorised value via the serial output to a printer or other peripheral device.
Function 24. When the panel meter is not equipped with an "alarms" board, this command can be used to simulate
activation of the alarm thresholds. The frontal LEDs will then indicate the fictitious status of the alarms.
Function 25. When an alarm threshold declared with the latch function is active, it must be possible to acknowledge the
alarm once the fault has been corrected. This command cancels the latch on latched alarms.
Function 26. This command can be used to record or print the measurement signal directly after its analogue-digital conversion, i.e.
without any filtering or scale factor. This means that you can check all the dynamic faults on the system.

Outputs 4 opto-couplers NPN
All the outputs of the option cards are insulated from the Max voltage 50 VDC
input signal by opto-couplers. Max current 50 mA at 50 VDC

Programming makes the alarms completely configurable:

• HI alarm or LO alarm. In HI mode, the output is on when the measurement reaches or overshoots the value of the threshold.
In LO mode, the output is on when the measurement reaches or remains below the value of the threshold.
• Timed alarm. All the alarm channels can be delayed by the timer, from 0.1 to 999.9 seconds. The timer acts on both sides of
the threshold, i.e. in whatever direction it is crossed.
• Alarm with asymmetrical hysteresis. The hysteresis is programmed directly in display units, between 0.001 and 9999. For a high
alarm, the threshold value is added. It is deducted for a low alarm. In this way, the return to rest of the alarm outputs is delayed.
• Alarm with symmetrical hysteresis (on C.A 2200). The programmed hysteresis is added to each side of the threshold,
defining a band in which the output is on (high alarm) or off (low alarm).
• Following alarm (on C.A 2200). The second and the fourth alarm (for the 4 ALARMS cards) can be defined as following alarms
for the first and third alarm respectively. A following alarm will react depending on the threshold of the alarm it is slaved to, with
an offset defined by programming. The gap can take any positive or negative value.
• LATCH alarm. This function can be used to keep an alarm active or inactive even if the value falls below the programmed
threshold. A logical input will be assigned to cancel this latch function.

A small detail that makes all the difference.

On the C.A 2200, the second alarm, whatever the card, can be defined as following alarm with automatic correction of the
residual measurement. In numerous cases, particularly in weighing and dosing operations, the mechanical systems and
the architecture of the installation result in it being impossible to immediately stop the operation as soon as the setpoint is reached.
For example, the “tailing-off” effect occurs in filling systems in which, when a programmed quantity is reached, an alarm causes
blocking of the conduit. The time taken to close the protective cover and the quantity flowing during this time lapse give rise to a
surplus of material in relation to the exact quantity required. The result is a real measurement greater than the setpoint (measurement
residual). The “auto follow” function (AUTOTRAC) is specially designed to correct this measurement residual. It determines the
excess quantity in relation to the programmed threshold and subtracts from the measurement, to switch on the alarm output with
a minimum gap in relation to the threshold. Thus the surplus or insufficient quantity is permanently corrected.
