SIGNAL CONDITIONERS To support the use of its sensors in large scale testing, ENDEVCO has developed several generations of signal conditioner systems. Until recently, a state-of-the-art vibration laboratory set up consisted of a rack of manually controlled signal conditioners. These signal conditioners have manually controlled switches and knobs, to set full scale ranges, sensitivity and filter corners and the set up information is recorded by hand.
300 Hz and 1,650 Hz (see Section 2.4.8 Filter Options and Appendix 1.) Up to three (3) Model 133 units can be installed in a 19” rack using ENDEVCO Model 31979 Rack Mounting Kit. Figure 4 shows a detailed circuit block diagram for the unit.
The equipment has been inspected and tested at the factory and is ready for operation when received. Unpack the Model 133 and set it on a level, firmly supported surface. Verify that all standard and ordered optional accessories are included.
® FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION Shown in Figure 1 is the Model 133 front panel. The front panel is a mylar overlay, adhesively attached to the front panel aluminum plate. The mylar overlay has cutouts for the six push buttons, and clear windows for 13 LED's and the 4-digit panel meter. Each push button and LED are described as follows: Figure 1 Item 1, is the "Select Function"...
Shown in Figure 2 is the rear view of the Model 133. Figure 2 Item 1, is the standard AC input power connector. The supplied Endevco power cable, PN EW599, is connected to this connector. (Note: The acceptable input power is 90 to 264 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

This function selection provides for programming the sensitivity of the transducer (in mV/EU for Voltage input, or pC/EU for Charge input). The Endevco Model 133 uses this information to determine the gain needed to achieve the required output scaling. The left-right EDIT push buttons select the number position in the LED display, and the up-down EDIT push buttons increment or decrement the selected number.

A/D Calibration Calibration constants k5 and k6 are used to calibrate the Analog to Digital converter of the unit. The following procedure must be followed to accomplish this calibration: ENDEVCO www.endevco.com Tel: +1 (866) ENDEVCO [+1 (866) 363-3826] IM133, Page 17...
RJ-11 adapters would be required. Figure 5 shows how to connect a computer to control up to 16 Model 133 amplifiers. The following functions can be executed through the serial interface from a controller: Identification of the unit: Model Number (133, 136, etc.), firmware revision, address.
The self-identifying feature allows quick verification of the filter installed in a particular channel for the model 133 or model 136. Each channel will display the filter corner frequency on the LED digital panel meter. Only the filter corner frequency is displayed. The filter type (Butterworth) can only be visually verified by removing the outer cover.

The optional rack mounting kit, PN 31979, is an optional kit that can be purchased to mount from one to three of the Model 133/136 units (the Model 136 is a three-channel DC amplifier using the same package as the Model 133). The kit consists of the two blank panels, the front panel mount and the support bracket.
The instrument will be repaired/calibrated, returned and invoiced for the actual repair charges. If the instrument cannot be repaired for $300.00 or less, Endevco will submit a written quotation for the cost of the repair and/or replacement of the unit.
® Ordering Information and Accessories ENDEVCO ® Model 133 must be specified in the following manner: 133-X If no filter is specified at time of order entry, the standard default filter installed is a 10 kHz low pass Butterworth. If X is left blank, the standard 90-240 VAC Power is supplied. If X = 1, then the 9-18 VDC Power is supplied.
Each component of the transmission is decimal integer ASCII text. Model/Unit (Required) is a two byte value in which the upper byte indicates the model type (0=133, 1=136) and the lower byte indicates a Unit number in the range 1-20. However, commands 0,6 & 8 allow 0 to indicate the command and it’s associated data, if any, applies to the specified channel of all...
