About the X005 Galvanic Isolation Amplifier

The X005 has been designed specifically for use with Intrinsically Safe position sensors and is certified intrinsically safe I and IIC.

The Intrinsically Safe sensors are ratiometric i.e. the output signal scales with the supply voltage. To ensure the safe area signal accurately corresponds with sensor displacement it is important that the sensor supply is correct.

The X005 Galvanic Isolation Amplifier provides a regulated and resistively limited +5V dc power supply required by the Intrinsically Safe sensors. It can be connected in three or five wire modes. Used in five wire mode positive and negative sense inputs enable the X005 to dynamically adjust the sensor supply thus ensuring the correct voltage across the sensor. Connected in this way the X005 can compensate for 15Ω conductor resistance.

The sense terminals are linked internally so the end user can use the X005 in three wire or five wire mode without the need to fit or remove external links.

The X005 has an input power supply range of 12 to 30 volts dc, making it suitable for a wide range of hazardous area applications. It is tri-port isolated providing isolation between the amplifier power supply, the hazardous area and the X005 output signal. The sensor supply and output are transformer coupled providing 2.5kV isolation between the safe and hazardous area circuits eliminating the requirement for a high-integrity earth.

The output is configured to either 0.5 to 9.5V or -20mA and has a bandwidth of 4.7kHz, making it ideal for servo control loops.
