Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What is the main function of the GAB-100/A?

It acts as a signal conditioner that amplifies the delicate voltage signals generated by a thermocouple and converts them into a standardized 4-20mA current signal, which is less susceptible to interference over long cable runs.

❓ Is the unit suitable for harsh maritime environments?

Yes, Kongsberg Maritime designs these amplifiers with robust, durable enclosures specifically intended to withstand the vibration, humidity, and temperature fluctuations common on ships and offshore platforms.

❓ Can I use this with any type of thermocouple?

The GAB-100/A is typically calibrated for specific thermocouple types (often NiCr-NiAl Type K). Always verify the compatibility of your specific sensor with the amplifier’s input specification before installation.

❓ How is the unit powered?

The device operates on a flexible DC power supply range of 12-35V, making it highly compatible with standard industrial power distribution systems found on most vessels and industrial sites.
