Compact Transducer Amplifier

The Compact Transducer Amplifier (CTA) is a DC bridge-based transducer amplifier and signal conditioner for HSE PLUGSYS Transducers. It can be used with pressure, force, displacement or other bridge-based transducers. See the Item List and Details Section for the compatible list of transducers. It is factory adapted and calibrated for use with a specific transducer model. Once configured it cannot be modified for use with any other transducer. The CTA and transducer must be ordered together. Please see our Multi-Sensor Amplifier if you intend to use the amplifier for multiple transducer types or you require a digital display of average values.

It comes with a power supply suitable for all countries (90 to 264 V). The CTA powers the selected transducer (excitation voltage 5 V), amplifies the signal and outputs a signal voltage (range ±4 V). Trimmer adjustments are available for gain (30 to 100%) and zero offset.

The CTA analog output signal can be input to a suitable data acquisition system or other device (e.g. the Harvard Apparatus PHD Ultra Constant Pressure syringe pump) that can accept a high-level signal in the range of ±4 V.

The CTA includes: enclosed amplifier, power supply with country either a EU or US mains cable (power cord)*, HSE transducer adapter cable, one BNC-BNC output cable (length 2 m), operating instructions.
