Amplifier LinK

Amplified Pickoff for Turbine Flowmeters

Description
FTI’s Amplifier Link™, which is compatible with most manu-
facturers’ turbine flowmeters, combines a pickoff with a
signal conditioner in one compact, low-weight design. It pro-
duces a 0–5 VDC pulse output which can be transmitted
over long distances. Either magnetic or modulated carrier
(RF) electronics are factory-selectable.

Designed to minimize space and save installation costs, the

Amplifier Link™ mounts directly to the turbine flow-meter.
Close coupling the amplifier and the flowmeter pickoff
reduces the risk of EMI or RFI signal interference.

When configured as a
modulated carrier (RF)
pickoff, the Amplifier Link™
generates a frequency Amplifier LinK
which is modulated by the
rotating blades of a turbine meter. This eliminates the effects
of magnetic drag, and greatly extends the flow range of
small size meters. The magnetic configuration of the
Amplifier Link™ amplifies the low-level sine wave into a
square-wave output. Both configurations may be used with a Features
wide range of power supply voltages, and produce output • Combines pickoff and signal conditioner in one compact
