Unit, powered by constant current, offers 1 and 10 mV/pC gain options as well as low/high pass filters. Offering bandwidth to 30 kHz, product comes in stainless steel housing sealed against humidity and offers optional BNC male and female connectors.
Original Press Release:
Rugged In-Line Charge Converter
Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has completed its design for the new Model 130 in-line charge converter and has released it for production. This device converts the high impedance charge output from an accelerometer to a low impedance voltage output. The Model 130 is used with the popular MEAS family of piezoelectric accelerometers for high temperature testing, vibration monitoring and R&D instrumentation.
Powered by constant current, the Model 130 offers 1 mV/pC and 10mV/pC gain options, low noise and low/high pass filters. It also features optional BNC male and female connectors, broad bandwidth to 30 kHz and easy interfacing to charge transducers.
This small charge converter is packaged in a rugged stainless steel housing that is environmentally sealed against humidity. Electrical isolation is achieved using a clear Teflon sleeve for use at temperatures ranging from -40 ºC to +100 ºC. With compliance voltage of 18 to 30Vdc, these units can be used with readily available power supplies.
