    AC Conversion Module 1. General Description The LLAC4 is a peripheral device used to increase the number of low-level AC signals a datalogger can monitor. The module enables four datalogger control ports to emulate pulse-counting channels by converting the low-level AC signals to the logic levels datalogger control ports require.
  • Page 8 The datalogger’s pulse channels can read this low-level AC signal directly. The LLAC4 has signal conditioning to convert the low-level AC to a 0 to 5 volt square wave that can be measured on the datalogger’s control ports. The frequency response of the LLAC4 is the same as the low-level AC on the pulse inputs.
  • Page 9: Wiring

    4. Wiring Most sensors that have a low-level AC output will have three wires: signal, reference, and drain. The signal wire should go to P1 – P4 on the LLAC4 and the reference and drain wires to a on the LLAC4. The LLAC4 also requires that 12 V be applied to its 12 V terminal and G.

    LLAC4 Four-Channel, Low-Level AC Conversion Module 5. Program Examples Using the CR1000, let's measure four different wind speed sensors that produce low-level AC signals. These will include the RM Young 05103, 05106, 05305, propeller type anemometers, and RM Young 03101 cup anemometer. Program examples are provided for both the CR1000 and the CR200(X).
