Pickups

The pickup is used to pick up the PCM signal from the transmitter. It also transmits power to allow the transmitter to operate without a battery.

IH1

A benefit of battery power is increased maximum air-gap between shaft and pickup – typically 150 to 200mm.  This is because only the data signal carrier is transmitted and not the inductive power magnetic field.

  • Transmitter needs an alternative power supply (e.g. a BU31 battery unit).
  • Picks up transmitter data without power transfer.
  • Includes universal mounting bracket.

BU31

A benefit of battery power is increased maximum air-gap between shaft and pickup – typically 150 to 200mm.  This is because only the data signal carrier is transmitted and not the inductive power magnetic field.

  • Needs a separate signal pick up (e.g. IH1).
  • Matches TX31D and TX34D transmitters.
  • Attaches to shaft using CAK.
  • On/off switch may be removed to eliminate electro mechanical contacts.
  • Sealed hosing for 2 x 1/2 AA lithium cells. 7v@850mAH – Typically 70+ hours life.
  • Transmission range 150+ mm using inductive head IH1.

IH2

  • Powers transmitter and also collects data signal.
  • Very simple installation – single loop on shaft and no stationary loops.
  • Universal mounting bracket for easy adjustment.
  • Up to 50 metres cable connection.
  • Submersible version available.
  • 50 x 35 x 25 / 85 grams.
  • May also be used in “end of shaft” location.

IH2/L

  • Inductive Head 2, long version.
  • Particularly suitable for larger diameter shafts when a loop is difficult to arrange.

IL2

  • High efficiency power coupling for multichannel strain transmitters.
  • Supplied with pre-formed glass fibre loops 40 – 200mm in diameter.
  • Air gap up to 90mm.
  • Incorporates signal pickup.
  • Non critical alignment.
  • May also be used in end of shaft location.

IP2

  • Compact – 33 x 28 x 8mm, replaces shaft loop.
  • Use with stationary loop and interface module IL2.
  • Airgap 100mm or more.
  • Incorporates signal transmission.
  • Attaches to shaft with CAK kit giving fast strap-on installation.
  • Stationary loop may be shaped to accommodate large shaft displacements.
