5M30, AC LVDT Conditioner

The DIN Mount Model 5M30 is a high-reliability conditioner for measurement of displacement, force, pressure, and other parameters obtained with a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) or other variable transformer transducer. The 5M30 delivers filtered analog output of ±5 Vdc, ±10 Vdc or 4-20 ma; switch selectable. Based on the synchronous carrier-demodulator principle, the 5M30 can handle a remarkably wide range of signals from 16 to 1600 mV/V full scale — Configuration and all adjustments are performed through front panel controls - simplifying transducer setup and calibration. There is no need for the user to open the DIN case for jumper or switch settings changes.

The 5M30 provides regulated AC excitation with remote sensing for applications which require long cable lengths1 along with a zero offset adjustment of ±100%.

Selectable high-level, noise-free analog output : The 5M30 analog output can be switched selected via the front panel controls for ±5 Vdc or ±10 Vdc or 4-20 mA.

Powerful low-pass active filtering is selectable for the analog output, for removal of unwanted high-frequency measurement-signal components and the elimination of aliasing errors, if the module’s output is subsequently sampled.
