Model 8180 Single channel Telemetry A simple, accurate method of conditioning and transmitting strain, thermocouple, voltage or ICP® signals from moving or rotating components. Manual – 51291 Rev. NR ECO: 36830...
Model 8180 Important Safety Tips! The 8180 single channel telemetry system utilizes an inductive electricity supply. Avoid having combustible material in the area of the inductive head. The power oscillator is regulated according to power usage. With high power demand the inductive head can become hot to the touch, up to 60° C/140° F. With high power use the Control Unit can become warm to touch and should be located in a well ventilated area.
Model 8180 Important Installation Tips! 8180 Installation All cable connections should be done with the power off. Only apply power to the Control unit with a stator head connected, otherwise damage to the Control Unit may occur. If the inductive head is placed on a metallic surface with the power on, the power oscillator will produce maximum power.
