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 9...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.

Connections

Attention! Do not short circuit the supply voltage with the output.

No problem with GND - all at same potential, even in mulitaxial systems! The sensor supply voltage (5V, max. 5mA) can (because of the high accuracy) be used as reference voltage for subsequent electronics, e.g. OPV or ADC.
