Developed by B&K Precision's French subsidiary Sefram, the unit ships standard with 20 universal analog input channels on convenient screw input terminal blocks, and the channel count can be expanded up to 200 channels by stacking and daisy-chaining additional 20-channel modules. According to the printed application list, the DAS240-BAT addresses temperature monitoring with thermocouples and platinum resistance temperature sensors, voltage measurements down to the ±0.5 mV range, 4-20 mA current loop measurements (using the optional 50 Ω shunt terminal block), and frequency, pulse totalization, and pulse rotation measurements that can be expressed in RPM. The combination of universal analog channels, logic I/O, and timing inputs makes the instrument suitable for mixed-signal data logging on a single platform. ## Brand Heritage B&K Precision Corporation acquired Sefram Instruments, a French manufacturer specializing in recorders, field strength meters, and other test and measurement instruments. The DAS240-BAT is developed by Sefram and distributed under the B&K Precision brand in North America. ## Accessories Supplied - Main adapter 100 / 240 V - Manual (CD-ROM) - 1 male connector with 25 pins male and cover - 1 cable (70 cm) for measurement module connection - 1 measurement module (20 channels) with input terminals - Stylus - Soft wipe - Screwdriver ## Product Core & Specifications Analog Channels Number of Analog Input Channels 20 channels standard, expandable to 200 with optional 20-channel modules DC Voltage Ranges ± (0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100) mV; ± (0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100) V Maximum input Voltage 100 V DC Accuracy 0.1% of the full scale ±10 µV Temperature with Thermocouples (Cold junction compensation: ±0.5 °C) Type J \-210 °C to 1200 °C Type K \-250 °C to 1370 °C Type T \-200 °C to 400 °C Type S \-50 °C to 1760 °C Type B 200 °C to 1820 °C Type E \-250 °C to 1000 °C Type N \-250 °C to 1300 °C Type C 0 °C to 2320 °C Type L \-200 °C to 900 °C Temperature with Pt100 and Pt1000 Current 1 mA (Pt100), 100 µA (Pt1000) Range \-200 °C to 850 °C Measurements 2 and 3 wires Accuracy (at 20 °C) 0.3 °C ±0.1% of reading Compensated Resistance (2 wires) 30 Ω max.

Analog input maximum: 100 V DC, Cat I 100 V per IEC 61010-1.**Important:** Current measurement requires the optional 50 Ω (0.01%) shunt input terminal block (P/N 902406500), which is sold separately and is not included with the base unit.**Important:** Channel expansion beyond the included 20 channels requires optional 20-channel modules (P/N 902401000), sold separately. Maximum capacity is 200 channels (10 modules total).Recommended pairing: add the 902406500 4 to 20 mA / 50 Ω shunt terminal block to any 20-channel module to enable current-loop measurements alongside the standard voltage and temperature inputs. **Please review the Manufacturer's Data Sheet to verify published specifications.
