The Schaevitz Sensors ATA 2001 is an analog LVDT/RVDT signal conditioner and microprocessor amplifier designed to interface with Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs) and Rotary Variable Differential Transformers (RVDTs). The unit shown in the supplied photograph is clearly labeled Schaevitz Sensors ATA 2001 and LVDT µ-processor amplifier. The ATA 2001 converts the transducer signal into usable analog voltage or current outputs for measurement, monitoring, control, and data-acquisition systems.

The ATA 2001 provides digital calibration through front-panel controls for zero, span, and phase, while an embedded microprocessor handles calibration, demodulation, filtering, and synchronization of the LVDT/RVDT signal. It is housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure and uses a standard 1/8 DIN panel-mount format, making it suitable for laboratory instrumentation, industrial measurement systems, and precision displacement applications.

The supplied unit has front-panel controls for ZERO, SPAN, PHASE, COARSE, and FINE adjustments, together with status indicators. The rear connection arrangement is designed for connection to compatible LVDT/RVDT transducers and measurement equipment.

Applications

The Schaevitz ATA 2001 is suitable for precision displacement and position measurement systems using compatible LVDT or RVDT transducers. It can be used to condition the electrical signal from a displacement sensor before feeding it into a data-acquisition system, controller, monitoring instrument, or industrial automation system.

Typical applications include precision metrology, machine-tool position feedback, valve-position feedback, mechanical testing, displacement measurement, dimensional inspection, and laboratory instrumentation. Published technical literature also documents ATA 2001 units being used with LVDTs in mechanical testing and precision measurement systems.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

Purchasing refurbished laboratory instrumentation can provide laboratories, universities, research organizations, and industrial facilities with access to specialized measurement equipment at a lower cost than purchasing new instrumentation. A refurbished Schaevitz ATA 2001 can be particularly useful for laboratories and engineering facilities that already have compatible LVDT/RVDT sensors and need a dedicated signal-conditioning solution.

Refurbished instrumentation can also be useful for maintaining older measurement systems where the original signal conditioner is no longer readily available. The ATA 2001 supports selectable excitation, digital calibration, voltage output, and 4–20 mA output, making it adaptable to a range of displacement measurement and control applications.

Additional Information

The supplied photograph clearly identifies the equipment as a Schaevitz Sensors ATA 2001 LVDT μ-processor amplifier. The photograph shows the main amplifier enclosure and front-panel controls. An LVDT/RVDT sensor, cables, mounting hardware, power cord, rack adapter, and other accessories should not be assumed to be included unless specifically stated in the sale.

The ATA 2001 is designed to work with compatible LVDT/RVDT transducers, and the correct excitation, gain, output, and wiring configuration should be verified for the particular sensor being used. The exact input/output configuration and line-voltage setting of the supplied unit should also be confirmed before installation.
