DE-52 Modules. At one card with a 32-way connector strip a
maximum of seven inductive transducers can be connected. 1. Current or voltage output:
OUK = card for voltage output
The oscillator in the OA-10 Module supplies the necessary

alternating voltage of 10kHz which, amplified by an AC ampli-
fier, excites the connected displacement transducers. 2. Frequency of excitation voltage:

is also possible using trimmers (± 10% of the measuring range).
4. Number of transducers (1 to 7)
When fully equipped, the card is then fitted with 14 trimmers.
7 = seven transducers
The supply voltage can be specified as required for 24 VDC or
±15 VDC. 5. Supply voltages: 24 = 24 VDC
30 = ± 15 VDC
If the card is assembled for fewer than seven transducers, the
number of DE-52 Demodulator Modules is reduced. 6. Output signals:
A = 0 to 5 VDC D = 0 to 20 mA
B = 0 to 10 VDC E = 4 to 20 mA
C = ± 10 VDC
