The OPTO3 galvanically isolated pulse splitter has one pulse input for connecting a signal from a water meter or electricity meter sensor and three galvanically isolated pulse outputs.

 OPTO3 - rozbočovač pulsního signálu

Characteristics:

  • The input pulse signal is split into three mutually separated outputs A, B and C 
  • Output-A: open collector (Umax: 28 VDC, Imax: 0.2 A)
  • Output-B, Output-C: galvanically isolated outputs, bidirectional solid-state relay (Umax: 28 V, Imax: 50 mA, Rmax: 10 Ω)      
  • Outputs with shaping and short pulse extension function, suppression of oscillations on the input signal 
  • Input adjustable for both open-collector and current/voltage output sensors
  • Selectable supply voltage size of connected sensor (Usupply or 3.3V)
  • Surge protection for inputs and outputs
  • Very low quiescent current consumption for battery-powered applications (Iq < 10 μA when signal LEDs are turned off)
  • Supply voltage range of 3.5 to 28 VDC
  • DIN rail mounting 35 mm, 17.5 mm wide
  • Compatible with FIEDLER AMS devices 

Basic description:

INPUT:

Both open-collector pulse transducers (OPTO) and transducers with mechanical or solid-state switching contacts (REED) can be connected to the IN input. By rebuilding the PR2 jumper, accessible by removing the top cover of the instrument, transducers with current or voltage output can also be connected to the IN input and powered from the instrument.

OUT-A, OUT-B and OUT-C outputs:

The three pulse outputs OUT-A, OUT-B and OUT-C can be used for technology control (dosing pumps) or data acquisition (data loggers, telemetry). In order to suppress ground loops and to increase reliable operation, the pulse outputs OUT-B and OUT-C are galvanically isolated from each other and from the supply voltage of the hub and the pulse output OUT-A. The OUT-A output is an open collector type and consists of a switching transistor connected to the negative pole of the supply voltage. The OUT-B and OUT-C outputs contain a semiconductor switching element with no polarity.
