shielding (see HBM's special publication ”Greenline” Screening Concept, elec
tromagnetic compatibility of measuring cable, downloadable from the Internet
at http://www.hbm.com/Greenline).
The connection lines' (≤50 V) minimum insulation strength must be 350 V (AC).

3 Measuring Amplifiers on Eurocards ME50S6
The Eurocards ME50S6 are 4.8KHz carrier frequency measuring
single‐channel amplifiers for strain gauge transducers.
All plug‐in cards are delivered without housing or rack frame and without power
supply unit so that an individual setting in an existing 19” rack mounting system
is possible. Owing to the narrow width of the plug‐in cards (4 divs = 20.32mm)
up to 21 cards can be inserted into a 19” rack. The dimensions and connecting
details correspond to the IEC standards 48D and 297.
All controls necessary for easy operation are accessible from the front.
Individual adjustments are described in chapter four; factory settings are speci
fied on the back of the Eurocard.
