Voltage pulses of amplitudes 0.5mV - 0.5V. Impedance 100 Ohms.
The IF series inductive pickup and VIEG
amplifier are applied in high temperature
applications beyond the normal operating
range of standard magnetic pickups. The
inductive sensor generates a sinusoidal output
signal with an amplitude between 0.5mV to
0.5V. The VIEG is designed to amplify and
shape this signal providing a square wave
output voltage of 8V pp.
Application of the IF Series Inductive Pickups
The selection of an inductive pickup is recommended when the operating temperature exceeds
176°F/80° C. Operation can be expected up to 360°F/180°C with the standard version and up to
465°F/240°C using the HT version.
Because of the low signal levels involved, the following guidelines should be followed:
• Only use braided, shielded cable. The shield should only be connected at the amplifier module as
indicated. The distance between the amplifier and sensor should not exceed 3 meters/10 feet.
• Because of the low signal levels, direct the electronics as far as possible from other
electromagnetic field sources.
• The pickup should be inserted until hand tight, then turned back 1/4rev. Tighten the lock nut to
secure this position.
• The meter can be mounted in any manner, however, every effort should be made to minimize
vibrations. Strong vibrations can have a microphonic effect on the pickup sensor. Flexible
connections will help to reduce pipeline vibrations considerably where this is a concern.
