4 Channel Summing Junction Box – IAC200

The FUTEK IAC200 Summing Junction Box for Load Cells lets you connect 2 to 4 full-bridge strain gauge sensors. It combines their outputs into one summed signal. This signal can be used for one display or data acquisition system. Ideal for weighing platforms and multi-point force measurement.  The IAC200 supports DIP switch-selectable channels, features a rugged UV-stable polycarbonate enclosure, and weighs just 416 g.

For applications requiring a conditioned signal, the IAC200 is also available with a built-in amplifier.  Offering VDC or 4–20 mA analog output options.

Simplify Multi-Sensor Load Cell Installations with Accurate Signal Summing

The FUTEK IAC200 is a compact, industrial-grade 2–4 channel summing junction box.  Designed for applications that require the combined output of multiple full-bridge strain gauge load cells. Ideal for platforms, weighing systems, and multi-point force measurement setups.  It enables you to connect multiple sensors to a single display or DAQ system with ease.

This summing junction box aggregates signals from up to four mV/V input sensors, providing either a raw (non-amplified) or conditioned analog output (VDC or 4–20 mA), depending on the model selected.
