-
ATM's motor driven variable attenuators utilize DC motors with integrated, long life gear reductions ideal for High Reliability applications.
-
The unit will operate with a set DC voltage between 18-30VDC, commonly found in most systems or by a separate DC power supply. Motor speed will vary based on Voltage used. Maximum running current is 250mA & 600mA max starting.
-
To prevent motor damage, Micro switches are used to stop the motor at the minimum and maximum travel positions
-
Units are provided with 9 pin D Sub Male connectors allowing for control voltage, end point indication if desired, and follower potentiometer. See connector pin-out.
-
These devices are best controlled by an external Double-Pole/Double-Throw (DPDT) switch or ATM optional control module.
-
Any one of ATM's Continuously Variable Attenuators can be mounted to a motor drive.
-
For Motor Drive Option add -28 to any of the 06, 07, 08, Medium, & High Power attenuators Example: AF064-10 = AF064-10-28 |
Motor Characteristics:
1. Motor Control Voltage Pins 2 and 7 of the nine pin D Sub male connector will have fixed DC voltage between 18-30 volts applied. To increase attenuation pin 2 is - and pin 7 is +. To reverse the direction 2 is + and 7 is -. In both directions a stop is provided by means of Micro switches.
2. End Point Indicator * The switch is also used to provide end point indication by means of pins 1 and 6 developing a voltage when the device has reached the maximum limit, (for 2+ and 7-). Pins will 3 and 8 will develop a voltage when a minimum limit is met. (for 2- and 7+). The developing voltage is equal to supply voltage used.
3. Follower Potentiometer ** A 10K Pot with an output proportional to the position of the motor drive mechanism is available at pins 4, 5, and 9.

Atm Optional Control Module:
An External Drive Module part number MCM-001 shown at right, is available for the motor drive as an optional accessory. It includes: 1. Crisp tactile switches to control drive. 2. Max/Min position indicator lights. 3. Follower potentiometer terminals. 4. Self-switching power supply with input of 120 VAC - 240VAC.* 5. 6 Ft, 9 pin cable to interconnect the control box to the motor driven device.
*If supplied power source is not used, an input of 18-30 VDC through the 9 pin connector may be substituted. |
