Meggitt Sensing Systems introduces Endevco® three-channel general purpose piezoelectric signal conditioner

Meggitt Sensing Systems, a Meggitt group division, has announced the global market introduction of the Endevco® model 133, a three-channel general purpose piezoelectric signal conditioner with a wide bandwidth of 100 KHz (-3 dB corner), designed to condition accelerometer output signals within modal and structural analysis, NVH, automotive and aerospace testing and general in-laboratory applications.

Featuring an industry standard bench mount configuration, the Endevco® model 133 offers a standard RS232 serial interface and supports both ISOTRON® (IEPE) and charge output piezoelectric accelerometers with either manual or computer programmable configurations. Operation and programming of the Endevco® model 133 is achieved via the LED illuminated front panel with adjustable gain range of 0 to 1000. A flexible setup allows the user to match a wide range of sensor sensitivities, with output scaling per Engineering Units in mV/G, while three LED's serve as built-in fault status indicators for open/short per channel at ISOTRON® inputs.

When used with supplied PC setup application software, the Endevco® model 133 allows for control of up to 60 measurement channels, with necessary serial communications to support automated test setups.Units feature a built-in four-pole low-pass filter, meeting requirements of both J211 and ISO6487 and with optional corner frequencies. A DC power option is also available for portable use within automotive testing applications. The rear panel contains an RJ-11 connector for the RS-232 port, an input power connector, a per-channel BNC output connector, a 10-32 input connector for the PE input and a BNC connector for the ISOTRON® input. Recommended accessories, sold separately, include a 19-inch rack mount adapter (model 31979) which facilitates installation of up to three units.

All Endevco® signal conditioners are offered with a comprehensive five-year product warranty, with select models available for immediate customer delivery under Meggitt's Guaranteed InStock™ program. This model is also offered to U.S. government customers at specially discounted pricing under the GSA Advantage program.
