F2A1X Frequency Converter

Product catalog summary
Description
The F2A1X Frequency to Analog Converter/Tachometer converts a frequency input signal into a proportional analog voltage (0-5Vdc) or current (4-20mAdc) output. It features electrical isolation between input and output to prevent ground loops. The input can be from a Monarch sensor or any digital signal source not exceeding 12 volts. The device is preprogrammed with user-specified settings, which can be adjusted using an optional USB programming cable and PM Remote Software. It requires a 12-24Vdc power supply.

Features
  • Economically priced, rugged, compact, and lightweight
  • Electrically isolated input/output
  • 5 to 600,000 RPM range (0.1 to 10kHz)
  • Compatible with most speed sensors (TTL)
  • User configurable with optional USB cable and software
  • Real-time data viewing and Excel data storage
  • 4-20mA or 0-5Vdc scalable output
  • 5 Vdc or 10 Vdc sensor supply (jumper selectable)

Typical Uses
  • Process monitoring
  • Tachometer signal generation
  • Quality control and R&D
  • Engine performance monitoring
  • Signal conditioning for data acquisition
  • Motor or pump monitoring

PM Remote Software
This Windows-based software allows users to configure the F2A1X, set operation modes, and scale inputs and outputs. It supports real-time data display and streaming to Excel. Configurations can be saved for future use. The software is included with the optional USB programming cable.

F2A1X Frequency Converter-1

F2A1X Frequency to Analog Converter/Tachometer Description The F2A1X Frequency to Analog module converts a frequency input signal into a proportional analog voltage (0‐5Vdc) or current (4‐20mAdc) output. The output signal is electrically isolated from input signal and input power source effectively eliminating troublesome ground loops. The input signal can be supplied from a Monarch sensor (measuring RPM for example) or any source of digital signal not exceeding 12 volts. The F2A1X is factory preprogrammed with the full scale output and input scale factor of your choice. These settings are also user configurable with the optional USB programming cable and PM Remote Software. PM Remote Software also displays data in real‐time and allows data to be stored directly to Microsoft Excel™. The F2A1X requires 12‐24Vdc input power.
