Isolation Amplifiers

The FE-960-IA is a general purpose isolation amplifier for front end use when hazardous voltages must be measured with isolation mode voltage of  ±1500V and a signal maximum of 1000V peak or DC.

The FE-961-IA is for front end use when hazardous voltages must be measured with isolation mode voltage of ±1500 V and a signal maximum of 2500V peak or DC.

  • Ideal for power monitoring of line directly, and current, using shunts.
  • May be applied for system ground isolation with gain and attenuation as required.
  • Use with high voltage signals or small signals with high common mode voltage.
  • Galvanic isolation to 3kV pk-pk. FE-960-IA Uses advanced depletion mode FET input protection.
  • Bandwidth from DC to 200kHz with built in configurable low pass filter.
  • Low pass filter configured by plug in resistor packs.
  • Input connectors are typically sheathed banana plugs, but other connector types can be specified depending upon the application.

Bridge Amplifier

The FE-979-TA is a low noise differential amplifier for conditioning full and fractional bridge transducers and strain gauges.

  • Jumper configured 1/4, 1/2 and full bridge operation with built in 120 ohm and 350 ohm completion resistors
  • High stability remotely referenced bridge supply with precise selections
  • Auto Balance and Auto Zero enables any bridge to be balanced
  • Built in Shunt Calibration
  • Low pass filter configured by plug in resistor packs

Dynamic Strain

The FE-937-SGA is a low noise differential amplifier for dynamic strain applications at frequencies from 1Hz to over 100 kHz. It energises a remote strain gauge with an exact constant current allowing operation with long twisted pair cables and zener barriers whilst providing immunity from long term effects such as temperature variation. The amlifier is AC coupled and provides a dynamic signal with the D.C. level of any static signal removed.

  • Bridge balancing or completion is not required
  • Precision low noise constant current source
  • Detects and displays open circuit transducer connection
  • Built in traceable Dynamic Calibration
  • High pass and low pass filters configured by plug in resistor packs

IEPE Amplifier

The FE-930-IE is a high performance IEPE amplifier for conditioning piezo transducers with built-in low impedance buffering, commonly referred to as Integrated Electronic Piezo Electric.

  • Unique IEPE current receiver allows operation with non-isolated transducers.
  • Use as a high bandwidth, low noise differential amplifier for other AC signal sources.
  • Detects and displays open circuit transducer connection.
  • Piezo accelerometers may be converted to IEPE using the FE-074-HAC head amplifier.
  • High pass and low pass filters configured by plug in resistor packs.
  • TEDS transducers can be used when the module is combined with the remote control option.

This FE-978-FV instantaneous F-V converter accepts frequency inputs from electromagnetic or light activated sources, or from a low impedance output of other signal conditioning systems for virtually all pulse or frequency waveforms from 10mV to 30V RMS.

  • 10Hz TO 100kHZ Measurment range
  • Full range or  nal 10% equals Vout
  • Opto coupled input.
  • 8 Hysteresis settings.

RS232 Control

The FE-390-IF is a compact module that provides remote control of compatible Fylde modules.
The unit connects to the rear of racks fitted with remote enabled 15-way D connectors and is powered by the rack. A 2nd D connector (9-way) provides a standard RS232 link to a PC. ASCII commands sent from a terminal program such as Hyperterminal or RealTerm set the parameters of individual or multiple modules in the rack. Settings can also be retrieved and viewed remotely from modules.

A Windows based LabView program is available to provide a graphical control interface. This is currently for racks fitted with FE-389-TA modules with potential future versions including more module types.
