1 and 4 current output light sensors connected to it. This amplifier's function is to transform the current from one of Skye Instruments' unamplified sensors into a voltage output, scaled over a desired range pre- determined at the time of ordering (e.g. 0 – 2V, 0 – 5V, etc.).
1 – 4 Channel External Amplifier 2. TYPICAL APPLICATION 2.1 Amplifier The amplifier for each channel has had its level of amplification (gain) set at the time of manufacture and is not user changeable. Up to 4x Channel input Ch.1 Custom Voltage Output Ch.2 Ch.1 Amp.
Blue Serial #……………….. All Skye Instruments' current output light sensors are wired according to these colours. Please note that in terminal numbers 9 and 10, 4 wires are twisted together and placed within the one terminal opening. The sensor inputs are labelled with their unique serial numbers for identification.
1 – 4 Channel External Amplifier 3.2 Sensor Output & Power Supply The following table shows the typical outputs of Skye amplifiers, along with the power supply required for each. Sensor Output Power Supply Requirement 0 – 1V, 0 – 2V 5 - 15V 0 –...
1 – 4 Channel External Amplifier 3.3 Connecting to the Terminal Remove the lid slowly and gently as there is a wire attached to it that serves as the screening connection for the lid. Please also ensure that on replacing the lid that the wire does not get trapped in the sealing lip. Connecting wire ends to the terminal is intended to be easy.
1 – 4 Channel External Amplifier In diagram form: 4. HOUSING The housing is formed from an aluminium alloy, painted black. It is considered to be protected from ingress to IP65. On no account should it be subjected to immersion. The housing provides screening to the amplifiers and the screening of the lid is maintained by a connected wire.
