Choosing Transducers

A

transducer

is defined as a device that receives energy from one system and retransmits it, in

a different form, to another system. A

transmitter

is a term usually reserved for transducers in

a current loop circuit. In this section, the terms transducer and transmitter will be used

interchangeably.

For a transducer to be useful, the retransmitted signal must be compatible with standard

instrumentation. For the OWL DC Voltage logger, this is in the form of an analog DC voltage.

Many compatible transducers exist for measuring such variables as temperature, relative

humidity, pressure, speed, pH and more. You can obtain these from a wide variety of

manufacturers or distributors. An extensive listing of sensors and companies is published

yearly by

Sensors

Magazine.

To figure out what to look for when choosing transducers, it is helpful to know a few technical

terms and how they relate to use with your OWL data logger.

Excitation Voltage

This term refers to the input voltage that a transducer requires in order for it to work properly.

It is either specified as a range (for example, 9 to 30 volts DC) or a specific voltage (for

example, 10 volts DC). When a range is specified, it means you can use an unregulated

power supply (such as a battery) as long as voltages within the range are provided. Usually, if

a specific voltage is required, it means you require a regulated power supply.

When an unregulated power supply is specified for the excitation voltage, a regulated one may

also be used. The reverse, however, is not true. Millivolt pressure transducers, for example,

usually require regulated power supplies.
