2-CHANNEL MAG COIL PULSE AMPLIFIER
For Tachometer & Turbine Meter Applications

|
Model JH376 is a compact, economical pulse amplifier for tachometers, turbine flowmeters and similar magnetic coil pickups. Input pulses are amplified and converted to either open-collector or logic-level output pulses, depending on your application. DC input coupling (no capacitor) permits operation down to zero Hz. Sensitivity adjustments, built-in hysteresis and input filtering minimize interference from noise pickup. Specifically designed for magnetic-coil pickups, the JH376 generally will not respond to TTL or other positive-only input pulses. For such applications see our companion product, Model JH377.
Two channels are included in the 0.7 inch (17.8mm) wide enclosure, providing densities of almost 3 channels per inch. DC power may be anywhere between 7 and 24 volts. A green LED indicates power. Because it is intended primarily for use with inherently-isolated magnetic pickups, no isolation is provided.
| Model Number: | JH376 |
| Specify Output Style: | Logic Pulse or Open Collector (field-changeable using jumpers). |
| Urethane Coating: | Specify Option U |
Model JH376 snaps onto 35mm DIN rail. Connections are made to the terminals (as marked on case).
Connections to the 8 terminals are:
A: Common.
B: Output 1.
C: Common.
D: Output 2.
E: Input 2.
F: Power.
G: Input 1.
H: Common.
| Input Style: | DC coupled. Input must swing both plus & minus, no DC bias or offset. |
| Input Sensitivity Adjustments: | 1-turn trimpots. At low frequencies full cw (max.) 20mV pk-pk, full ccw (min.) 200mV pk-pk. |
| Frequency Response: | 0-20kHz. High frequency filtering compensates for increased tachometer output at higher frequencies. Typical sensitivity at max. setting: 10Hz - 20mV pk-pk, 100Hz - 22mV pk-pk, 1kHz - 60mV pk-pk, 10kHz - 800mV pk-pk, 20kHz - 2.2V pk-pk. |
| Open Collector Outputs: | NPN, 30V max. 40mA max. current. Max. "on" voltage drop at 40mA is 1 volt. Output is OFF when input is HIGH. |
| Logic Pulse Outputs: | 0/+5V logic pulse, 500 ohm or greater load. Output is LOW when input is HIGH. |
| Output Jumpers: | Circuit board jumpers select the output style. Snap off cover for access. |
| Power Requirements: | 7Vdc min., 24Vdc max. 10mA quiescent current. |
| Operating Temperature: | -40 to +80˚C (-40 to +176˚F). |
| Dimensions: | 2.47" high, 2.52" deep, 0.70" wide (63 x 64 x 18mm) |
