PA2001 Pre-Amplifier (1.1”)

The Motion Sensors PA2001 series preamplifiers allow convenient interfacing with process measuring devices and digital electronics.

This series of preamplifiers/signal conditioners is available in a combination version that provides user selection of either VR or RF sensor input.

When used with VR sensors they will accept low-level signals and provide hysteresis to eliminate unwanted noise and interference. Operating range is 4 to 10,000 Hz. When used with RF sensors, they provide false pulsing safeguards, air gaps up to 0.150″, a frequency range of 2 to 5,000 Hz, as well as a precisely tuned carrier signal to allow for maximum signal reliability.
