HOME DESIGN SERVICE OTHER PRODUCTS CONTACT Avanti Low Cost Analog Quartz Transducer Simulator. Quartz pressure transducers are widely used in the oil industry for measuring downhole pressure and temperature with very high accuracy. Traditionally these transducers have frequency outputs and are sometimes referred to as 'analog' transducers, to distinguish them from their recently introduced counterparts with I2C interface. Avanti offers a range of Quartz Transducer Simulators, which facilitate testing and characterisation of data acquisition systems (downhole boards) in the absence of a real transducer. Transducer Simulators are sometimes also called Dummy Transducers. The Avanti AVA-06 is a low cost analog Quartzdyne Simulator with frequency outputs. It generates pressure, temperature and reference signals that are compatible with all currently available 5V and 3V Quartzdyne transducers. Due to its low cost, the AVA-06 is particularly suited for production testing of downhole boards. The simulator consists of a small standalone PCB measuring 60x65mm. Pressure and temperature frequencies can be set independently by means of two rotary switches. Constant values or ramps can be selected. Signal coupling (AC/DC or OFF) is configured through jumper links. The simulator draws its supply current from the target board, i.e. no external power is required. Current consumption is similar to that of a real transducer. Model-No: AVA-06 Price: £225.- + VAT. Please contact Avanti for price in USD or EUR. TOP OF PAGE USER MANUAL (PDF) WWW.QUARTZDYNE.COM
