DescriptionThe Micron 4-20 mA output, pulse input transmitter accepts two independently scalable input channels A & B from a wide range of pulse sources, such as NPN or PNP proximity switches, contact closures, digital logic, magnetic pickups down to 12 mV, or AC voltages to 250 Vac. Input frequencies can range from 0.005 Hz to 1 MHz. Arithmetic functions A+B, A-B, AxB, A/B or A/B-1 to track the sum, difference, product, ratio, or draw of both input channels are available with the Extended main board. These arithmetic operations can be applied to scaled rates, scaled totals, square root of rates, totals after square root extraction, custom curve linearized rates, or totals after custom curve linearization.
The update rate of the transmitter output is a programmed gate time + 30 ms + 0-2 signal periods. For pulse rates of 60 Hz and above, the update rate would be 20 per second. Such fast update rates are ideal for alarm and control. Standard features of Model LTA-R include:
Easy Transmitter programming is via Micron's Instrument Setup Software, which runs on a PC under MS Windows. This software can be downloaded from this website at no charge. The required transmitter-to-PC interface cable is available from Micron (P/N CBL04). |

Exceptional Accuracy and Stability. Micron pulse input frequency and rate transmitters determine frequency by taking the inverse of period as measured with a calibrated quartz crystal time base. This results in extremely accurate and stable 6-digit internal readings (±999,999 counts), which are then processed in software. The analog output is generated by an ultra-linear 16-bit (65,536 step) digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for 0.02% output accuracy.
