Piezo Electric Pulse Transducer (DIN)

Overview:

The MLT1010/D Pulse Transducer is a small, rugged unit that uses a piezo-electric element to convert force applied to the active surface of the transducer from the finger blood pressure pulse, into an electrical signal.

The MLT1010/D Pulse Transducer connects directly to the 8-pin DIN Input on any PowerLab or MacLab.

Features:

• Connects directly to a PowerLab Pod Port (DIN) analog input
• Velcro® strap wraps around the finger
  
• Detects expansion and contraction of the finger circumference, due to changes in blood pressure
• Typical output is 50–200 mV but can reach as high as 500 mV.

Applications:

Applications include measurement of pulse rate or small animal respiratory activity. It is particularly suitable for use in the classroom as a means of studying heart rate.
