Accessories






Series 1000
Oscillator/Demodulator

The Series 1000 Oscillator/Demodulators provide complete electrical support for AC LVDTs. Working from an unregulated DC input, the modules generate a stable sinusoidal excitation voltage for the transducer. The LVDT’s secondary voltages are converted into DC voltage by the module’s phase sensitive demodulator. The demodulator has automatic phase synchronization which simplifies installation and setup by eliminating the need to make phase angle adjustments for each transducer. An active, three-pole filter in the final stage reduces output ripple while maximizing frequency response. Other features include zero and span controls, full encapsulation, threaded inserts for mounting, and self locking terminal strips.

KEY FEATURES

  • Works with 5 and 6 wire LVDTs
  • Internally Regulated
  • DC Voltage or 4-20 mA Output
  • High Frequency Response

Series 1000 Datasheet

The Model 1003 Transducer Indicator provides complete electronic support to AC and DC LVDT’s, or other DC powered transducers. The AC version provides an appropriate excitation voltage (at 3 or 7 KHz) for the LVDT and also demodulates the output, providing not only a digital readout, but a continuous analog output. This eliminates the need for a separate oscillator/ demodulator. The DC version contains a dual power supply for transducers requiring both positive and negative excitation. Ideal for use in the lab or in a high speed closed loop system, this versatile indicator comes standard with a 5 digit L.E.D. readout to provide maximum resolution.

Series D100
Dual DC Power Supply

The Series D100 power supplies are regulated, preset voltage sources, ideally suited for DC excited transducers, discrete and IC function modules.

They are equipped with an on-off switch, line cord, binding post terminals, rubber feet and a #4-40 tapped hole located on the bottom side for permanent mounting. The hole is connected to earth ground via the power line cord ground terminal.

Dual voltage power supplies allow the user to choose the transducer excitation voltage; for example, Model D12.200 can be used to power a transducer with 12 VDC or 24 VDC. To excite the transducer with 12 VDC, connect the transducer +INPUT and -INPUT to the power supply +V and COM terminals, respectively (or to the power supply COM and -V terminals, respectively). To excite the transducer with 24 VDC, connect the transducer +INPUT and -INPUT to the power supply +V and -V terminals, respectively.
