Signal
The LDX-2 linear displacement
transmitter is a 2-wire, 4 to
20 mA conditioner for AC LVDT
transducers. It is designed for use
where long transmission distances
are required before the signal can
interface with a controller or meter.
A feature of 2-wire operation is
its low susceptibility to noise and
cable resistance, ideal for industrial
environments.
Two-wire operation enables both
power and signal to use the same
pair of wires. The position of the
transducer is indicated by the
amount of current, from 4 to 20 mA
full scale. If a cable break occurs,
zero current is indicated, thereby
showing a fault.
The LDX-2 is housed in an ABS
impact-resistant plastic case with
2 water-resistant ports for the
transducer cable and supply cable.
The box is sealed to NEMA 12
(IP65) standards and is supplied
with mounting nuts for a DIN 462771
rail, or it can be bolted to any
surface without affecting the seal.
