PA1001A Pre-Amplifier (2.75”)
The Motion Sensors PA1001A series preamplifiers allow convenient interfacing with process measuring devices and digital electronics.
This series of preamplifiers/signal conditioners is available in variable reluctance (VR) and RF sensor configurations as well as a combination unit that provides user selection of either VR or RF sensor input.
Optional features include factory installed pulse scaling and field or factory installed analog output modules. The analog output module provides both current and voltage outputs proportional to RPM, flow-rate, etc.
