MAY 2012 NEWSLETTER
Last March we went over the basics of how a pulse functions. Although this seems like a complex topic, the pulse is actually quite simple. This month we are getting into the somewhat confusing topic of 2-Wire vs. 3-Wire pulse values, also known as Form A and Form C.

But let’s not forget our newest little members to the SSI family are also featured in this month’s Product Spotlight. The LCR-3A and LCR-4 are small relays that can handle a lot! Read on to see what they can do for you…
Feel free to send us an email at info@solidstateinstruments.com if there is a pulse related topic you would like to know more about, and we’ll work on getting it into one of our upcoming newsletters.

The LCR-4 is slightly larger, 2" x 1.5" x .75, and allows either AC or DC loads to be controlled. Although small in stature, don't be fooled… |
