P/N EJ584) pin connections are shown in Figure 2-2. Connect an input cable and transducer to the appropriate input connection on the rear panel of the Model 6634C enclosure. It is not necessary to connect output cabling at this time.
ENDEVCO 6634C INSTRUCTION MANUAL OUTPUTS Note 1: "/" means Active Low Note 2: “*” indicates that proper jumper should be installed to enable external Accel, Vel, and/or Broadband inputs (refer to Figure 2-4). Figure 2-3: Input/Output Connector Pinouts JUMPER CONFIGURATION The figure 2-4 diagram shows how the W1 and W8 jumpers should be set for each type of input.
The Model 6634C is controlled using the keyboard and display when operating in the default, Local Mode. When the 6634C is powered-up, it is in the LOCAL MODE, where the unit takes its instructions from the keyboard, and the vibration level is shown on the digital display. At power-up, all LEDs are illuminated for a few seconds.
Figure 3-1: Keyboard Diagram of Model 6634C. INPUT SETTINGS The Model 6634C can be set to accept inputs from a variety of transducers and can be set to the sensitivity of the transducer so that the outputs are normalized to engineering units.

When using the DRCC acceleration output, the sensitivity of the transducer is multiplied by the gain of the DRCC and the product is divided by 10. The sensitivity of the 6634C should be set a factor of 10 lower than the transducer sensitivity times the DRCC gain.
Pressing F.S. in the Normal Mode will cause the Digital Readout Indicator to flash the present Full Scale setting of the 6634C. At the same time, the Output Display LED flashes the engineering unit and the DC Output unit LED flashes "pk"...
Pressing IN/OUT in the Normal Mode will cause the Digital Readout Indicator to flash the present filter condition ("In" or "Out") of the 6634C. While the filter condition is being indicated, the ALARM and OUTPUT displays are off. If no filter is installed, the Digital Readout Indicator will flash "Err0", and the only keypress that will be accepted is ENTER.
EXTERNAL FILTER To use the 6634C in the external filter mode, install filter between pin 2, “BB-OUT”, and pin 13, “BB-IN”, of the 25 pin Output connector. Move jumper W3 (internal to unit) from the 1-2 position to the 3-4 position. With W3 in the 3-4 position, either an external filter must be installed, or a jumper must be installed between pins 2 and 13 of the Output connector to complete the signal path.
REMOTE BUS ADDRESS SET If the Serial Interface Board, Model 35843 is installed, the address of each 6634C can be set from the front panel (in Local mode). Press <ENTER> then <3>. The front panel displays Adnn, where nn is the present address of the unit.
OPERATION WITH RS-232 INTERFACE OVERVIEW AND COMMAND FORMAT With the optional Model 35843 Serial Interface Board, the Model 6634C can be controlled via the RS-232 interface bus by sending instructions that conform to the 6634C Command Syntax in accordance with the RS-232 protocol.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL INPUT SETTINGS The Model 6634C can be remotely set to accept inputs from a variety of transducers and can be set to the sensitivity of the transducer so that the outputs are normalized to engineering units. When the 6634C is powered-up, it is in the LOCAL MODE, where the unit takes its instructions from the keyboard. At power-up, the input is set to the input type and input sensitivity from the last used setup, which was previously stored in non-volatile memory.
Set unit to displacement output mode If new output mode is successfully setup, no response will be provided by the 6634C. If a problem is encountered, and the unit is in the Listener/Talker mode, the error message E1XXXX "BEL", setup is not allowed will be provided by the 6634C.

If the calibration is successfully completed, the following response is provided by the 6634C (if the unit is in Listener/Talker mode): CXXXXX "BEL" Calibration successfully completed...
SETUP STATUS As described in Section 4.2 through 4.5, the setup status of the 6634C can be determined by replacing Byte 1 in a command with a question mark. For example, to determine the Input Type setting of the unit, send [T?XXXX ;] and the unit will respond with the question mark replaced by the appropriate Input Type number and the semicolon replaced by "ACK".

DETAILED THEORY OF OPERATION AMPLIFICATION The ENDEVCO Model 6634C is a single-channel amplifier which provides a wide range of modes and gains. The ENDEVCO Model 6634C Vibration Amplifier is a programmable amplifier system composed of an Input Amplification Section, a Sensitivity Amplifier, a Filter Section (treated in Section A.3), and an Output Amplification (and integration) Section.
High frequency response limits must also be considered when using long cable to couple an RCC or ISOTRON to the 6634C. The current that is available to drive a cable, the peak signal level, and the cable capacitance are all important and interrelated factors that determine frequency response of the coupling system.
