Overview

Model 4338 CellMite® LVDT AC Excitation Single Channel Intelligent Digital Signal Conditioner

CELLMITE® LVDT w/TEDS-Tag® BLOCK DIAGRAM:

Model 4338 CellMite® LVDT with TEDS-Tag® hardware provides AC excitation that is suitable for transducers. (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) The block diagram shows a USB connector for direct connection to a PC.

The Model 4338 CellMite® LVDT with TEDS-Tag® digital signal conditioner connects directly to a standard AC LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) transducer and simultaneously generates a serial output for connection to a PC and a /-10V analog output. The Model 4338 CellMite® LVDT can be operated with a computer or simply set up by a computer and then used as a stand-alone intelligent LVDT digital signal conditioner with analog output.

The Model 4338 CellMite® LVDT with TEDS-Tag® compensates for transducer nonlinearities using its integrated 6-point calibration capability not found in standard signal conditioners. Its USB port and simple command set allow for connection of multiple units in a serial network configuration. This compact unit is ideally suited for in-situ transducer conditioning and distributed process measurements.

The CellMite® LVDT Model 4338 features include nonvolatile memory for parameter and calibration storage, the ability to select between three stored LVDT calibrations, automatic LVDT identification using TEDS-Tag® technology, multipoint and mV/V calibration, internal generation on precision sine wave AC excitation voltage, remote sense excitation, and 24-bit internal resolution with 16-bit analog output.
