Potentiometric position transducers (or, more simply, potentiometers) are widely used in industrial machinery. They provide an analogic signal (for example 0-10V) corresponding to the position of their cursor in its stroke. In some cases though, the stroke of the transducer does not coincide with the stroke decided during the design. The Sinai VI-P5A2 board solves this problem amplifying the potentiometer's signal and outputting a 0-10V signal when the cursor moves in a limited section of the full stroke. The portion of the stroke to be amplified can be set as 20%, 30% or 40% of the full stroke.

A trimmer allows for an easy centering of the index mark directly from the cabinet. Using this feature the potentiometer can be installed without having to do a fine mechanical tuning. The index mark (the position of the cursor corresponding to an analogic output of 0V) can then be set using the trimmer on the amplifier circuit.

The board can be mounted on DIN bar and requires a power supply of 12V. As an alternative, you can request a version with a 24V power supply and a digital input for enabling the output.
