Product Information

Lock-in Amplifier/Preamplifier
Lock-in Amplifier Module
LI5501/LI5502

For embedded application in analysis / inspection equipment

A Lock-in amplifier with high reliability for minute signal measurement.
Its main core parts are condensed into a compact chassis.
A significant improvement with the SN ratio can be expected by incorporating this module into the signal detection part of analysis equipment or inspection devices. It is simple design with eliminated both display and operation panel, controlled from a PC via USB/LAN.

  • Wide frequency bandwidth 10 mHz to 1 MHz

    It covers a wide frequency range such as mechanical vibration and physical property measurement. Locks to the reference signal in 2 cycles when shortest.

  • High sensitivity 10 nVrms

    Sensitivity can be selected from 10 nVrms to 1 Vrms. It has a wide input voltage range and can measure various signals.

  • High-speed response, time constant from 1 µs

    Equipped with time constant filter and moving average filter. By combining with a moving average filter, high-speed response can be expected even at low frequency.

  • Dynamic reserve 100 dB

    Dynamic reserve is the ratio of acceptable noise level to the signal measurement range full scale. Using this device, you can detect very small signals compared to the noise level.

  • Oscillator output

    Equipped with an oscillator output, the system configuration can be simplified by using it as a reference signal. Output waveform can be selected sine wave or TTL level square wave. DC bias can be added with the output voltage at sine wave.

  • Harmonic measurement

    Measurement is possible not only at harmonics but also at frequencies that are fractional multiples of the fundamental (×1/1 to ×63/64).
    It also supports advanced measurements such as second derivative.

  • 2-channel model (LI5502)

    The LI5502 is two channels of input model so simultaneously measures the two signals with the same reference signal.
    Amplitude ratio and phase difference between channels can also be measured.

  • USB/LAN interface

System configuration

Basic

Multi-channel

• Operates according to settings in internal memory. Therefore, a PC-less system is also available.

• An internal oscillator output can be used instead of an external signal generator.

Power supply

  • Operating voltage: ±14 to 16VDC
  • Current: Approx. +400mA / -110mA (LI5501)               Approx. +480mA / -120mA (LI5502)
  • Connector: Dsub type 9pin
  • ※ It is recommended the current capacity of the power supply would be about twice of the above.
  • ※ DC power supply with good stability and noise performance is recommended to achieve good performance for measuring minute signals.

Installation

Mounting bracket is ready. Rubber feet are attached to the bottom of the module.

Software

A sample program is provided. It can be used as a reference when programming control software.

Front and Rear Panel (LI5502)
