Hookup to CM Series MAXI-AMP Modules
The hookup diagrams on this page and the
next include all of the remote sensors for use
with CM Series modulated amplifier mod-
ules. It is important to note how the shield wire
of a remote sensor is wired. The shield wire is the
uninsulated wire in each sensor cable. Failure to
connect the shield as shown may result in false
operation of the amplifier. When wiring emit-
ters, it is good practice to connect the positive
(white) wire first. LEDs are sensitive to applica-
tion of the wrong voltage, and can easily be
destroyed.
NOTE: up to three sensors may be connected to
each amplifier (see specifications).
The threaded barrel design of the
LR400 and PT400 (see page 14) per-
mit the connection of any Banner
glass fiber optic assembly by using
two model FOF-400 fittings. The
sensors are typically mounted
through 3/8 inch (10mm) diameter
clearance holes, with the FOF-400
fittings threaded onto them after
mounting. Setscrews in the fittings
lock the fibers in place, but allow
rapid replacement without disturb-
ing any electrical wiring.
As the excess gain curves show, the
LR/PT400 combination produces a
high-performance fiber optic sens-
ing system. With the amplifier's 1
millisecond response time, this sys-
tem can be used for almost any fiber-
optic requirement.
