MTI Instruments 1520

Product Highlights

Get proven reliability, performance, and remote operation in a portable signal simulator for testing and calibrating sensor-driven systems.

The 1520 Precision Signal Simulator is a NIST-traceable signal source for testing and calibrating sensor-driven systems. This portable and easy-to-use system lets technicians bring laboratory-grade precision into the field or onto the factory floor or flightline. Applications include accelerometers, flow meters, pressure transducers, tachometer generators, and microphones. An intelligent sensor database lets operators simulate a wide variety of sensor types and build custom simulations using SQL queries.

MTI's 1520 Precision Signal Simulator is Made in the USA and combines a rugged and ergonomic design with a battery that supports all-day use. This field-upgradable unit supports software updates along with additional sensors and features. Importantly, this WiFi-enabled device can be remotely controlled via a smartphone so that a single technician can perform troubleshooting and diagnostics. Technicians like its intuitive user interface and appreciate that its touchscreen is easy-to-use with a gloved hand.

• Portable and Rugged - The 1520 features a rugged, but ergonomic, design that lets you bring laboratory-grade precision into the field.
• Signals - Dual Voltage, Single Current Loop, and Single Charge Mode in both Single Ended and Differential Forms.
• Waveforms - Custom, Sine, Square, Triangle, Pulse, Tachometer, and Sawtooth from 0.1Hz to 100kHz n 0.1 Hz increments.
• Jog Function - Vary the signal amplitude in increments to determine system gain, or vary the signal frequency to determine filter response.
• Sweep Function - Customizable time, voltage or charge.
