    3 INSTALLATION When using separate cables connect the cable to the accelerometer. A small amount of thread- OVERVIEW locking compound placed on the connector prior to attachment helps secure the cable during testing. In harsh environments, the connection can be Equipment Inspection sealed with silicone rubber, O-rings, and flexible heat-shrink tubing.

    3.5.2 Bend Radius The minimum bend radius (r) for both soft-line and hardline cable is determined by the cable diameter as shown below: Bends Allowed Cable Diameter Minimum Bending Radius Total 0.125” (3.2 mm) 0.60” (16 mm) 0.125” (3.2 mm) 2.0”...
  • Page 13: Powering

    4 POWERING 4.1 Installation Before connecting the low-noise cable from the accelerometer to the charge amplifier, be sure to ground both the charge amplifier and the cable. This ensures that an excessive static charge that may have accumulated across the accelerometer or cable is harmlessly discharged. Failure to observe this precaution can result in the destruction of the input FET of certain amplifiers.
  • Page 14: Reduced Resistance At Charge Amplifier Input

    This equation shows that if the input (leakage) When subjected to elevated temperature, all resistance at the charge amplifier is extremely high piezoelectric sensors/hardline cable systems exhibit decreased insulation resistance, due in part to the (approaching infinity), the output DC voltage piezoelectric element, but due mostly to the hardline approaches e , usually a very tiny voltage.

  • Page 17 Figure 1. Reference Standard Accelerometer These high-accuracy devices, which are directly traceable to a recognized standards laboratory, are designed for stability, as well as configured to accept a test accelerometer. By mounting a test accelerometer to the reference standard and then connecting this combination to a suitable vibration source, it is possible to vibrate both devices and compare the data as shown in Figure 2.
