Modell KEM-VBF40
 |
|
The Kemo VBF40 is a top of the range filter system, with 5 built-in filter responses, 2 lowpass, 2 highpass, and one bandpass. The VBF40 is a 3U high 19" benchtop or rack mounted instrument. Control is an easy to use ‘menu’ style control with LCD display, and 4 control buttons. The simple panel interface has a number of features to make control and programming of each channel easy. These include full manual control of frequency range and cut-off frequencies if required. ICP® transducer source is available.
The VBF40 has a wide range of gain control. x100 (+40 dB) in 7 steps is available before the filter, after the filter there is x10 (+20 dB) 4 steps. This combination allows optimisation of signal levels both before and after the filter, as well as optimising output signal levels for signal analysis systems. There is a 4 level signal level indicator.
The VBF 40 has 4 frequency ranges, each with 255 steps. Covering a range from 1 Hz to 255 kHz. Pairs of channels can be combined in series or parallel to give a wide range of filter combinations, bandpass, bandstop, and notch, each channel is independently controlled.The Ethernet interface can adress up to 64 channels, and an infinite number of racks. Channels may share an address to make group setting easy.
The combinations of filter response, gain, and channel coupling make the VBF40 a very versatile filter amplifier unit.
