Pulse Amplifier Interface (ST492)
Introduction
Introduction
This amplifier is designed to convert the output of an existing sensor,
which generates a pulsed signal which is not compatible with the ST8130
system’s channel input requirements. This incompatibility may caused
by insufficient voltage or lack of output current drive capability.
The amplifier has negligible loading effect on the signal and includes the
facility to adjust its sensitivity, so can be used with a wide variety of
sensors.
N.B. For reasons of safety, NEVER connect the
amplifier to an ABS speed sensor.

The amplifier should be mounted, using the self-adhesive dual locking
material supplied, in a position away from strong sources of heat and
H.T. leads. It should be noted that this adhesive will not reach full
strength for up to 24 hours.
On one side of the module there is a small red LED and a potentiometer
access hole. This potentiometer is used to alter the sensitivity and the
LED is used to give visual confirmation of correct adjustment. Access to
this part should therefore be considered when choosing a mounting
position.

This is a high opening force 'Velcro-type' fastener system with identical
mating halves. It is intended to be used for semi-permanent fixing
applications, and is not intended for frequent dismantling.
