Monarch Instrument F2A1X Frequency to Analog Converter Module

The F2A1X Frequency to Analog Converter Module converts a frequency input signal into a proportional analog voltage (0-5 Vdc) or current (4-20 mA) output. The output signal is electrically isolated from the input signal and input power source, effectively eliminating troublesome ground loops. The input signal can be supplied from a Monarch sensor (measuring RPM for example) or any source of digital signal not exceeding 12 volts. The F2A1X is factory pre-programmed with the full-scale output and input scale factor of your choice. These settings are also user-configurable with the optional USB Programming Cable and downloadable PM Remote Software. The PM Remote Software also displays data in real-time and allows data to be recorded to your PC in .csv format. The F2A1X requires 12-24 Vdc input power.

The F2A1X Frequency to Analog Converter Module converts a frequency input signal into a proportional analog voltage (0-5 V dc) or current (4-20 mA) output. The output signal is electrically isolated from the input signal and input power source, effectively eliminating troublesome ground loops. The input signal can be supplied from a Monarch Instrument sensor (measuring RPM for example) or any source of digital signal not exceeding 12 volts.

The F2A1X requires 12-24 V dc input power and consumes less than 100 mA. It can be operated freestanding or can be mounted to a panel using the fixed wings on either end of the device. The device is factory pre-programmed with the input measurement mode (Frequency or RPM) and the analog signal full-scale output as specified when ordered. These settings can be changed using the optional USB Programming Cable and downloadable PM Remote Software.

The F2A1X accepts input signals from optical, infrared, laser, or 3-wire proximity sensors, or direct TTL or external ac inputs. There are multiple settings relating to the sensor input that can be set by the user.
