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

Digital panel indicators at very competitive price
Two new ranges of fully programmable, digital panel indicators from Penny and Giles Controls Ltd - offer high performance features at a very competitive price.
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 ...
