PSD modules
C10443 series
Integrates a PSD for precision photometry or a
4-segment Si photodiode with low-noise amp in a
compact case
PSD modules contain a high-precision two-dimensional PSD (position sensitive detector) or a 4-segment Si photodiode and a
low-noise amplifier, and are able to perform accurate distance measurement. Using a PSD module (excluding the C10443-06)
with a dedicated signal processing unit C10460 allows obtaining distance information easily.

Options (sold separately)
Signal processing unit for PSD module C10460
This unit converts PSD module output into position signals. The position signals are output as both
analog and digital signals. With the analog signal, simply connect a voltmeter to the connector,
and the readout voltage will display the position information [output voltage (V) = position rela-
tive to the PSD center (mm), excluding C10443-06]. With the digital signal, use a serial connection
(RS-232C) to connect with a PC. Use the supplied sample software to easily retrieve position infor-
mation into a PC. For the specifications, refer to the C10460 datasheet.
Dimensions: 150 × 100 × 30 mm
