The Kemo CardMaster 8 is an eight-channel filter carrier card that is designed to fit in a PC card slot.
The new unit is ideally suited to local filtering and amplification in conditioning-monitoring or data-acquisition systems, where it can act as a configurable front end.
It can also be used in OEM applications as a noise filter within equipment.
Each channel is configurable with single-ended or differential input, AC/DC coupling, pre-filter input gain up to +60dB, and selectable ICP current for accelerometer applications.
All parameters can be set individually for each channel.
The CardMaster 8 is designed for use with Kemo's 1200 Series of resistor-set filters or the 1600 Series of programmable filters.
These modules are available from stock with a wide range of filter responses to meet a range of applications.
With the 1200 Series modules, three selectable frequencies can be set by onboard jumpers.
With the 1600 Series modules, 255 frequencies can be set by onboard switches.
The input will accept AC or DC signals over the range +/-10V.
ICP accelerometer signals from 1 to 10mA at 24V are set by an on-card resistor for each channel.
Input gain from 0 to +60dB is user selectable via resistors on each channel, and DC offset and gain are adjustable by 10-turn potentiometers.
