ST106
Turbine Meter Pre-Amplifier and Enclosure
TECHNICAL DATASHEET
GENERAL
The purpose of the pre-amplifier is to amplify the mV a.c. signal from a typical flow meter pick-up coil and convert this
into a signal suitable for secure transmission to a remote flowcomputer which can be up to 1 km away. The pre-
amplifier has its frequency response tailored to the amplitude/frequency signals typical of most meters. A link can be
fitted to the pre-amplifier which increases the sensitivity by a factor of five.
A variety of output signal options cater for 2-wire current modulation, 3-wire voltage or open-collector outputs and finally
a voltage differential driver similar to RS422. For dual pulse applications two pre-amplifiers will be required. The
continuity of the pick-up coil across terminals 1 0& 11 is constantly monitored. If the coil becomes open circuit, then
this puts the Q and Q* outputs both low which allows the open circuit failure to be detected by the remote flowcomputer
(only if supported by the flowcomputer hardware/software). The STl06 amplifier can be supplied loose or fitted within an
ATEX certified flammable enclosure.
