Capacitec 4100-S Single Channel Capacitance Amplifier

Capacitec 4100-S Single Channel Amplifier Card The Capacitec 4100-S is a single-channel amplifier card designed for signal conditioning and amplification of capacitive displacement sensors. It is engineered for precision measurement applications requiring high resolution and low noise. The 4100-S is intended for integration into existing measurement systems or for the development of new sensor applications. This amplifier card is a foundational component within the Capacitec 4000 Series of modular instrumentation.

Technical Specifications * Product Type: Single Channel Amplifier Card

• Series: 4000 Series
• Channels: 1
• Linearity: ±2% of full scale (typical) * Note: For enhanced linearity of ±0.2% of full scale, the 4100-SL model is available with an add-on linearization board.
• Repeatability: 0.01%
• Signal Conditioning: Provides signal conditioning for capacitive displacement sensors.
• Gain and Offset Control: Screwdriver-adjustable gain and offset controls are available.
• Excitation Signal: Features an amplitude drive adjustment pot for supplying a variable 15kHz excitation signal. An additional x1 to x6 screwdriver adjustable amplitude control is provided for a total of 3 x 6 = 18 V P-P drive amplitude capability.
• Output: Standard analog output is 0-10VDC. The 4100-SL model includes a "+ A /

A" sums amplifier.

• Rack Mountability: Designed for rack mounting with a 1.0-inch wide rack mountable front panel. Requires one slot within a 4000 Series rack.
• Compatibility: Compatible with all Capacitec sensors. The 4100-S can operate with various probe diameter configurations and sensitivity ranges through simple recalibration.

Electrical Characteristics * Power Requirements: Operates with ±15VDC. Specific rack configurations may include integrated AC power supplies (-P100, -P115, -P220, -P240) or a ±15VDC/350mA power supply with optional 5VDC and -5VDC outputs.

Interfaces * Data Acquisition and Computer Interface: Designed for applications where computer interface and potential linearization are available. The 4000 Series racks offer three input/output terminals for computer or data acquisition interface on Centronics-style connectors or a 24-pin phone connector.

• Analog Output: 0-10VDC standard. The 4000 Series racks provide individual 0-10VDC analog outputs for each amplifier card.

Physical Characteristics * Form Factor: 2U high Euro-style board. Occupies a 1.0-inch wide slot in a 4000 Series rack.

• Rack Slot Requirement: 1 slot

Compatibility * Sensor Compatibility: Works with all Capacitec sensors.

• System Integration: Suitable for integration into existing measurement systems or for building new sensor assemblies.
• Rack Systems: Designed for use with Capacitec 4000 Series racks, such as the 4004 (4-channel) and 4016 (16-channel). A clock driver card (4100-C) is required to drive amplifier cards within these racks.

Applications * OEM and high-volume, multi-point applications.

• Precision measurement applications requiring high resolution and low noise.
• Systems requiring computer interface and post-measurement linearization. Why Choose Aumictech for the Capacitec 4100-S Single Channel Amplifier Card?
