Excellence in Linear and Angular Displacement
and Linear Velocity Transducers

Series 1000

Oscillator/Demodulator

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

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.

Interconnect Diagram

NOTE:

  1. 4 wire LVDT connection requires access to the center connection of both secondaries. One wire from each of the secondaries and the primary will be tied together and attached to COMMON. The remaining three leads will be connected as shown in the connection diagram.

Voltage and 4-20mA Output Versions

The equivalent models for voltage and 4-20mA output are shown in the table below, along with frequency, phase angle and frequency response for each. All of these modules are physically identical and require the same dual bipolar voltage supply. The output pins 5 and 1 are used for the current output.
