Simple and User Friendly

The Model 160 is a small and portable single channel IEPE power
supply for piezo-electric sensors. The power supply features a 4mA
constant current excitation with a selectable x1 and x10 gain switch. The
low noise model 160 power supply is ideal for laboratory testing and has
a wide bandwidth from 1-20kHz. An LED status indicator is included
which will notify operator of normal, open or short circuit.
