1 Technical data Electrical specifications DSI - LVDT adapter is powered by EXC voltage. LVDT adapter is compatible with SIRIUS(i) (variable EXC) or DEWE 43A type instrument (fixed +/-5V EXC). Power supply Exc. Voltage 10V – 15V, from EXC+ to EXC- outputs Power supply Exc.
Theory of operation DSI - LVDT Adapter uses a unique ratiometric architecture to eliminate several of the disadvantages associated with traditional approaches to LVDT interfacing. The benefits of this new circuit are: minimal adjustments are required; temperature stability is improved; and transducer interchangeability is improved.
When phase compensation matches phase lead / lag of sensor output LVDT adapter output will be at its maximum = 0,5 (=1Vexc ∙ sensitivity ∙ 1,00). Example: 45⁰ sensor output, Example: 45⁰ sensor output, no compensation 45⁰ compensation 5 / 11 www.dewesoft.com...
