The LiM-420 is an LVDT/RVDT signal conditioning transmitter specifically designed for the OEM marketplace. Operating on an 18 to 30VDC unipolar supply voltage, the LiM-420 delivers a low noise 4 to 20mA output signal. Compatible with many 5 and 6 electrical connection LVDT and RVDT transducers (see specifications), this compact transmitter  provides excellent performance on a budget. A generous excitation drive current of 20mA, allowing operation with transducer input impedances as low as 175 Ohms.

The LiM-420 is designed for easy installation, plugged into a backplane-type connector, or with individual wires connected to the screw terminal barrier strip. Measuring less than 2.5 x 2.5 inches, the LiM-420 may be mounted or stacked using the permanently attached threaded standoffs, or card-edge guides. All six selectable gain ranges are easily accessed via DIP switches and two multi-turn potentiometers allow for fine zero and gain adjustments.
