Transducer conditioner dons rugged
protection

Signal conditioning module is now available with a rugged die-cast aluminium alloy housing, suitable for harsh environmental conditions and electrically noisy applications.

Penny + Giles has launched a new metal enclosure option for its EICT-M electronics module The module, which performs the signal conditioning for the company's popular in-cylinder (ICT) and sealed linear transducers (SLT), is now available with a rugged die-cast aluminium alloy housing, suitable for harsh environmental conditions and electrically noisy applications

It was developed in response to customer demand and allows OEMs to install the electronics module in a variety of industrial vehicle, marine and control applications.

EICT-M features an impressive environmental performance, with dust and fluid protection to IP68 and submersion to 2m, with EMC immunity to 100V/m.

The module can be located up to 10m away from the linear transducer, allowing the effects of extreme shock and vibration to be isolated from the electronics.

EICT-M provides a standard output voltage signal of 0.5 to 4.5V DC that can be configured to match the linear transducer stroke, from a 10-60V DC unregulated supply.

Additional plug-in cards can be supplied to extend the range of analogue voltage outputs and also provide a 4-20mA current output for signal transmission over long distances.

For digital output, the EICT-M electronics is used in conjunction with the Penny + Giles pulsewidth modulation (PWM) output option card.

It provides a TTL-level compatible signal which has a 10-90% duty cycle proportional to the transducer displacement.

The EICT-M is designed for bulkhead mounting via four M5 fixing holes under the lid and the enclosure is protected with a blue powder-coated durable paint finish. Request a free brochure from Penny + Giles ...
