Page 5: About This Manual
Fig. 1—SI-BAM21-LC KG Optical Force Transducer Amplifier INTRODUCTION The SI-BAM21-LC KG Optical Force Transducer Amplifier is used in conjunction with the SI-H Muscle Bath system and the related line of SI-Heidelberg muscle physiology products. The SI- BAM21-LC powers the force transducer and outputs an analog voltage proportional to the force applied to the force transducer. -
Page 6: How The Amplifier Works
Concealed damage should be reported at once to the carrier and an inspection requested. Please read the section entitled “Claims and Returns” on page 15 of this manual. Please contact WPI Customer Service if any parts are missing at 941.371.1003 or customerservice@wpiinc.com. -
Page 7: Instrument Description
Gain Calibration Potentiometer–Adjusting this potentiometer defines the gain applied. Use the provided potentiometer adjustment tool (WPI #13661) to calibrate the output voltage scale factor to the force transducer current. See “Calibrating the SI-BAM21-LC” on page 5. Data Acquisition Output–Connect a data acquisition system like WPI’s Lab-Trax to this BNC connector to record the SI-BAM21-LC voltage output. -
Page 8: Back Panel
Connect the force transducer cable to the Force Transducer connection port (labeled Transducer) on the front of the SI-BAM21-LC. Align the pins and insert the connector. Connect a BNC cable from the data acquisition system input to the Output on the front panel of the SI-BAM21-LC. -
Page 9: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Calibrating the SI-BAM21-LC Before taking measurements, the SI-BAM21-LC must be calibrated. Each SI-KG force transducers shown responds linearly within its respective measurement ranges. Consequently, the SI-BAM21-LC can be calibrated using only two reference points. Force Force Range Noise... - Page 10 Connect the force transducer to the transducer input of the SI-BAM21-LC. Connect the output of the SI-BAM21-LC to an input of a data acquisition system or a digital multimeter. See “Setup” on page 4.
- Page 11 Fig. 6—The mounting hook slides into the adapter before it is installed in the micrometer assembly. Set the Gain switch on the front panel of the SI-BAM21-LC to the gain (X1-X10) that is suitable for the mass being used for the calibration of the selected transducer.

Page 12: Making Measurements
If you intend to use multiple amplification factors, cross-check your calibration. For example, if a 0.5g mass was used to calibrate the SI-BAM21-LC as close as possible to 10.0V at a gain of X10, then at a gain of X1, the monitor should display an output very close to 1.0V for the same 0.5g calibration mass. -
