A modern signal conditioner for all types of engines The TSC-4800A is a complete speed signal conditioning unit capable of working with all types of engine speed signals. Whether you are testing engines with a long tooth or short tooth embedded N1 signal, if you have engines with older high-voltage tachometer generators, or if you are testing engines with the new offset tooth design, the TSC-4800A will condition all of these types of signals. Condition three individual speed signals – The TSC-4800A can be configured to condition up to three (3) individual speed signals. Labeled Channel A,...

Useful output signals from all types of inputs The base configuration TSC-4800A provides users with three different conditioned output signals. NORMAL OUTPUT - Pulses coincident with the input signal – For engines with N1 INPUT tachometer generators and for most N2 and N3 signals, the TSC-4800A generates a “Normal” output signal. This output is a series of TTL level pulses that are coincident with every input pulse of the speed signal. NORMAL OUTPUT 1/REV OUTPUTS - Pulses coincident with the 1/revolution signal – Most new engines have an “embedded” 1/revolution signal within the N1 speed...

High-Speed digital signal processing ensures accuracy and performance Advanced signal processing - Each channel of the TSC-4800A utilizes a dedicated 14-bit high speed signal processor. These processors independently sample speed signals 20 million times per second to ensure that every change in the signal is detected. This allows the TSC-4800A to reliably detect critical amplitude and timing changes in the speed signal, maintain accurate phasing of the output pulses, and track rapid speed changes of the engine. Ethernet Control Interfaces Web Controls - The TSC-4800A features a full...

Firmware based design for easy upgrades As engine designs evolve, and conditioning requirements change, the TSC-4800A will be able to be re-programmed to meet the demands. As new conditioning requirements are defined, the TSC-4800A conditioning algorithms and web server software can be upgraded with new software supplied by MTI Instruments. Within minutes the TSC-4800A can be running to meet your new testing needs. Optional Outputs for enhanced functionality With an optional Buffered Output card installed, the TSC-4800A provides 20 additional output signals from each input channel for other...
