F2A3X Frequency to Analog Converter is a DIN rail module that converts a frequency input signal into a proportional analog voltage (0-5 V dc) or current (4-20 mA) output. The input signal can be supplied from a Monarch sensor (measuring RPM for example) or any source of digital signal not exceeding 12 volts.
Frequency to Analog F2A3x converts a frequency input signal into a proportional analog voltage or current output. Using PM Remote Software, the F2A3X from Monarch Instrument is user programmable with free download.

The F2A3X Frequency to Analog Converter is a DIN rail module that converts a frequency input signal into a proportional analog voltage (0-5 Vdc) or current (4-20 mA) output. The output signal is electrically isolated from the input signal and input power source, effectively eliminating troublesome ground loops. The input signal can be supplied from a Monarch sensor (measuring RPM for example) or any source of digital signal not exceeding 12 volts. The F2A3X is completely user-programmable using the free downloadable PM Remote Software. A NIST Traceable Certificate is included.
