    The measuring ranges of the internal charge amplifiers are 100, 200, 500, 1000 or 2000 pC for each channel (EnDaL curve). Measuring ranges of 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1000 mV can be set for ICP sensors (EnDaL vi). The transmission factors of each sensor connected to a channel can also be entered in the measuring program so that the stored measured values correspond to the accelerations in g transmitted by the sensors.
  • Page 11: Operation

    An alternative to the indication by means of the integrated LEDs is to signalise the current operating status with an external test connector. This test connector needs to be connected to the EnDaL curve/vi via the RS-232 data cable. The function of this test connector is described in a separate appendix.

    "Shackle" and not to "ON", so that the safety shackle can switch off the EnDaL curve. After unscrewing the battery holder (cross recessed head H size 2), the used batteries can be removed. Insert the new batteries, making sure their polarity is correct. Tighten the battery holder with a tightening torque of 75 Ncm.
  • Page 13: Mounting Information

    To avoid unintentional shock absorption and thus the measurement of insufficient acceleration values, you should attach the EnDaL curve/vi as close as possible to the goods or package. Shocks absorbing padding or instable assemblies distort the measurement results!
