Essentially
there are 3 main product types :-
AC Volts, Amps, Millamps.
DC Volts, Amps, Millamps,
Millivolts.
Frequency.
With the combination of
a mA input the M300-AD1 and the M100 series Power Transducer, parameters
such as kW, kVAR etc. can be measured and displayed.
THEORY OF OPERATION
AC INPUTS
Both AC Voltage and Current
circuits are average sensing RMS calibrated. The input signal is transformed
to a low level of AC. The transformer secondary voltage is fed to a precision
active rectifier, the resulting DC signal is presented to an analogue
to digital converter. The A/D converter uses a dual - slope integration
method of conversion. The resulting digital information is used to drive
the LED display.
DC INPUTS
DC Voltage and Current
inputs are fed into high stability ranging components. The ranging components
reduce the input signal to a 2 Volt level. If the input is below 2 Volts
an amplifier is employed to derive 2 Volts. The 2 Volt signal is then
presented to the A/D converter which provides the digital information
to drive the LED display.
FREQUENCY INPUTS
A frequency to Voltage
F/V converter is used to convert the input signal to a DC signal. The
resulting DC signal is fed in to the A/D convertor and the same process
as in the AC and DC circuit described above takes place.
