Signal conditioner runs straight out of the box

A Macro Sensors product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 3, 2005

A new single-channel DIN-rail mounted modular signal condition supports LVDT, RVDT and half-bridge inductive sensors.

Macro Sensors, a manufacturer of LVDTs and related instrumentation, has developed a new single-channel DIN-rail mounted modular signal condition that supports LVDT, RVDT or half-bridge inductive sensors.

Designed for out-of-the-box use, the LVC-2412 signal conditioner can be specified to work from either 24V DC for operation with systems using PLCs or mini-PLCs or from 12V for use in mobile and vehicular testing systems.

Units offer a choice of three analogue outputs: 0 to +10V DC, 0 to -10V DC or 4 to 20mA current loop.

Unlike most other low voltage DC-operated LVDT signal conditioners, the DC input power of the LVC-2412 is isolated from its analogue outputs, which allows the unit to be connected in either a four-wire fully isolated I/O configuration or in a three-wire common ground system.

The LVC-2412 is packaged in a DIN-rail mounting thermoplastic case with recessed screw-clamp terminals for all connections and 20-turn, front-panel accessible span and zero adjustments.

Movable coarse gain jumpers allow units to operate over an LVDT full scale output signal range greater than 50 to 1.

The external zero control permits output offset adjustment from -100% to +100% of full scale output.

Pricing for the LVC-2412 signal conditioners begin at $300 for a one piece, with deliveries from stock.

Quantity discounts are available.
