Everight S1
World's Most Advanced AC-LVDT Signal Conditioner

The Everight S1A DIN rail module ends the usual difficulties that accompany AC-LVDT set up with a built-in null indicator and simple front panel pushbuttons to set zero and full scale. Engineered to work with the widest range of AC-LVDTs and inductive half-bridges, the S1A module monitors LVDT operation and indicates any common failure. The S1A offers a choice of four excitation frequencies and eight analog DC outputs, as well as an RS-485 digital communications port. These features make the Everight S1A the world leader in AC-LVDT signal conditioning…
  • Smart setup with 2 front panel push buttons --- NO POTS
  • Built-in null indicator: LEDs and separate DC null voltage output
  • Choice of 1, 3, 5, or 10 kHz nominal excitation frequencies
  • Use with 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-wire LVDTs and inductive half-bridges including 3-wire GE LVRTs
  • Choice of 6 DC voltage outputs and 2 current loop outputs
  • 40 dB range of FS outputs from LVDT: 50 mV rms to 5 Volts rms
  • Master / slave synchronization to prevent beat frequencies
  • 15 - 32 Volts DC operating voltage, 80 mA max.
  • Self-diagnostic for LVDT winding failures or cable disconnection
  • Separate warning flag for all failures via open collector output
  • Digital communications link via RS-485 multi-drop bus with up to 16 addresses
  • Set up parameters can be saved and reloaded via RS-485 port
  • Color coded plug-in connections to 22.5 mm wide DIN-rail module
  • TWO (2) YEAR warranty instead of industry standard (1) year

Everight Sensors S1A LVDT Signal Conditioner Specifications
