The LDX-3A is a compact oscillator/
demodulator unit with adjustable
span, zero, and phase controls
for use with any OMEGA® (as well
as most other manufacturers’)
AC LVDT transducers. The device
is housed in a die-cast aluminum
box that provides a high degree
of mechanical and environmental
protection. The LDX-3A
incorporates its own regulation for
operation from AC power of 120V.
A 2.7 m (9') power cable is standard.
The unit can drive outputs of 0 to
±5 V into 10 kΩ, or ±20 mA into
100 Ω max. This, together with a
10:1 range of span controls, makes
the LDX-3A a versatile singlechannel conditioner for a wide
range of transducers.
