NV8a Filtering signal conditioner for sensor signal matching with an asymmetric 0…5V output voltage Features • low noise and low drift • no stabilized supply voltage necessary • integrated reverse polarity protection • outputs are short circuit proof • highly stable supply voltage for sensor operation • protection against reverse polarity of sensor connection • zero position and gain adjustable via potentiometers • electronic components hermetically sealed • optionally frequency programmable, active th 4 order low pass filter • optional high pass filter • different connector options Description The NV8a amplifies, filters and normalizes the output signals of SEIKA sensors. The asymmetric output signal enables unproblematic, subsequent signal processing with standard measuring equipment, such as oscilloscopes, transient recorders, A/D converters, multimeters, etc., operating with this asymmetric signal level. The NV8a requires a non-stabilized supply voltage in the range of 8…30 Volt. The NV8a provides a highly stable 5V voltage with short circuit current limitation as a sensor supply voltage. Multiple internal switching variants allow for optimal adaptation of signal processing parameters, such as settling time, filter cut-off frequencies and amplification and zero point adjustment, to the measuring task. Application The NV8a has its application anywhere a SEIKA sensor is, without great expenditures and under optimal compatibility, to be connected to application specific measuring equipment and subsequent adjustment of amplification and zero position are necessary. The use of an asymmetric output voltage requires minimal electronics for further signal processing.
