GENERAL
This Operations Manual contains a general description, specifications, installation & operating instructions, as well
as maintenance and calibration verification information for the North Atlantic Industries (NAI) Model 5330A
Synchro/Resolver Simulator.
The 5330A is a replacement for all standard variations of the legacy 5310 & 5330 (see P/N).
For special versions (P/N = 5310 – Sxxxx or 5330 - Sxxxx), contact factory to determine compatibility.
DESCRIPTION
This second generation Simulator, Model 5330A, represents a major step forward by using digital technology to
produce Synchro and Resolver outputs. The use of an intelligent DSP design eliminates push buttons and allows
all programming to be done either via an integrated touch-screen, jog-wheel, or a mouse interface. In addition,
IEEE-488, USB, and Ethernet interfaces have been added to extend remote operation capabilities.
The angle outputs can be set for one of two display modes: 0-360º or ±180°. A wide (47Hz to 10KHz) frequency
range is standard. The versatility of this device has been substantially increased by incorporating dynamic modes
that enable user to test servo systems under various simulated stringent field conditions.
a. Each channel can be set to simulate a rotating component in either clockwise or counter-clockwise
direction.
b. Each channel can be set to produce either Step, Sine wave, Ramp, or Saw tooth outputs.
Improved flexibility is provided by two fully independent outputs that can be combined to operate as a two-speed
output. The gear ratio, for the two-speed mode, is programmable from 2:1 to 255:1. When used in conjunction
with North Atlantic Industries Model 8810A Angle Position Indicator, the Instrument pair can perform the classic
“Dummy Gun Director” functions.
The 5330A can generate output voltages from 1.0 to 90 V
L-L
and accept reference voltages from 2 to 115 V
RMS,
over a frequency range of 47Hz to 10KHz and can, therefore, handle most known Synchro/Resolver simulation
requirements.
Optional Reference: This design can also incorporate a 6 VA programmable reference generator that is used for
standalone applications (See P/N).

 Optional reference supply
 47 Hz to 10 KHz
 Up to 6 VA power output per channel
 Output protection
 Dynamic Modes
