[Hallb-engineering] DynaPower Box Supplies

[Bill Merz]

If the problem is that you need a replacement transductor head or 
electronics you should be able to purchase something from Danfysik as a 
drop in as long as the "Current signal" is compatible with the Dynapower 
regulator. You would need to buy a complete system...transductor head 
and electronics, but it should just work fine. Hitek also makes a 
precision transductor which may also work if you need 10PPM type of 
performance.
