The 20kHz signal bandwidth 8B50/51 analog voltage input modules from Dataforth Corporation, Tucson, AZ, are part of the company's extensive family of Instrument Class^® SensorLex^® 8B isolated analog signal conditioners.

The 20kHz bandwidth of the 8B50/51 series is essential for a number of specific applications, including:

• Vibration analysis, i.e., suspension monitoring in automotive applications
• Isolation for non-isolated accelerometer signals used in high speed DSP systems
• Isolation and low phase delay for high speed control loops
• Monitoring high frequency strain gage signals from:
• Structural shock and vibration testing in aerospace, automotive, locomotive, wind turbine, and power plant industries
• Thrust or impact testing generated by explosions in aerospace and defense applications
• Monitoring high frequency sound wave harmonics generated by flow valves, throttles, turbines, etc.

The 8B50/51 accepts millivolt and voltage level signals, isolates, filters, and amplifies them, and provides high-level voltage outputs.

Other 8B50/51 features include:

• ±0.05% Accuracy (Typical)
• ±0.02% Linearity
• 1500Vrms Transformer Isolation & 240Vrms Field-Side Protection
• ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1 Transient Protection
• 5V Power (30mA Typical)
• 5-Pole Low-Pass Filtering
• Low Output Noise
• Low Drift with Ambient Temperature
• -40°C to +85°C Operating Temperature Range
• CE Compliant
• Other Agency Approvals Pending
• Mix and Match Module Types on Backpanel

Since its introduction, the 8B line has grown to include 17 family groups with a total of 102 different modules. Measuring only 1.11" x 1.65" x 0.4" (28.1mm x 41.9mm x 10.2mm), the SensorLex^® 8B signal conditioner is ideal for embedded or portable applications such as mobile test stands, COTS military and defense applications, miniaturized security and surveillance systems, and embedded process controls for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Housed in a solid, potted thermoplastic plug-in-the-panel package with a flammability rating of UL-94 V-0, the 8B family is specifically designed to protect user equipment, while reducing electrical noise and enabling convenient system expansion and repair. All 8B modules offer dimensional stability over temperature, chemical resistance, and excellent stability over time; they do not require recalibration. All models meet the requirements of EN61000-6-4 (radiated/conducted emissions) and EN61000-6-2 (ESD/RF/EFT immunity).
