1-channel display for LVDT sensors - analog and digital output

Introduction

The Tracker 260 series of digital panel indicators are designed specifically for use with LVDT transducers. It is compatible with a wide range of sensors, and the displayed values can be in millimetres, inches or any other measurement units.

Specifications

• Input voltage range: 0.05V to 5Vrms

Calibration

The "Fast-Cal" feature provides a fast and simple method of calibrating an indicator to the transducer at any two stroke positions. The Tracker 260 is configured for the correct transducer excitation voltage and frequency as recommended by the sensor manufacturer. As LVDT transducers can only be calibrated when in situ, the sensor is set to the mechanical "low" (zero) and then the "high" (span) positions when prompted by the Tracker 260. The measured LVDT signals values are then stored, with their relevant display values, as the calibration parameters. The Tracker 260 can also automatically set the correct input gain to suit the LVDT transducers output.
