Amplifier Module

A PC board module integrates into PLCs and data acquisition systems for gathering light measurements by using the company's input optics, without requiring a radiometer or photometer. The IL A430 Detector Amplifier is a PC board that provides photodetector current amplification and 0 to 5 VDC output, allowing the IL-SEL series input optics to be connected to any data acquisition device. Featuring adjustable gain from 10 nanoamps to 50 microamps full-scale with built-in threshold monitoring for alarm functions, this module eliminates the need to have a separate radiometer or photometer for sensing light.

Requiring 5 to 9 VDC power, the amplifier has an LED which indicates when power is being applied to the PC board without input optics connected. With the LED lit, current draw is 7.3 milliamps and for IL vacuum photodiodes a 5 VDC bias voltage is available.
