Description
The T7900 Electronic Potentiometer is used as converter
between pulse contacts and a device requiring control
adjustment by a voltage or current signal, such as an
electronic speed controller. The T7900 acts in a similar
manner to a motorized potentiometer, except that the
outputs are a voltage, a current or a pulse width modulated
signal (PWM), while the motorized potentiometer has a
variable resistor output.
In generator control applications, the T7900 can be used
together with a Synchronizer and a Load Sharer. The T7900
converts the increase and decrease pulses of these modules
into a suitable analog voltage, current or PWM signal. This
analog output signal can be used as a control input to the
electronic speed controller.
