    flotulopex, I have used the POLOROID sensors in the past which are made the exact way these sensors are made.(I think they bought the patend rights). POLOROID used to have a kit for the sensors and maybe still does. I have bought the sensors you show below directly from the manufacture SensComp here in michigan, However the ones I purchased have the excitation and receiver electronics on board. They are only about 1/4 of an inch thicker. I wouldn't bother trying to build the excitation and receiver electronics for a sensor like this as the sensors only cost about $50 complete. Log on to Sencomp's website, they make analog output as well as digital output sensors.

    To answer your original question: The AC drive is intended to vary from 0 to 400 volts max so there is a 200 volt offset called "bias".

    Thanks All,

    Yes, I bought the SensComp6500 (full kit) module a few days ago.

    I just wanted to understand some specifications.

    So thank you, Russ.

    Alain, SELECTRONIC is nice but one can get this module cheaper in the US, inclusive shipping + customs. Today, this product costs the same amount of money in $ as in €; have a look at the exchange rate... Nevertheless, thanks for the link

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Hi, Steve

    "des clopinettes" ...

    That was small bits of tobacco remaining from the smoken cigarettes ...

    also could be translated by " des mégots" ...

    un clope = a cigarette ...

    Now you know everything !
