1.0 INTRODUCTION If this should occur, refer to the service and repair document for proper information. PCB Piezotronics 3-component force link sensors are Measurements along the z-axis are proportional to designed to simultaneously measure dynamic and quasi- applied compression, tension, and impact forces.
3-COMPONENT FORCE LINK OPERATION MANUAL The condition of the mating surfaces can adversely 30 VDC, while the constant current required ranges affect the sensitivity of the sensor. It is essential that all from 2 to 20 surfaces be clean, rigid and perfectly flat to avoid erroneous data.
3-COMPONENT FORCE LINK OPERATION MANUAL features or zero "clamped" output often necessary in decay. Approximately five DTC intervals are needed repetitive, positive polarity pulse train applications. for a peak signal to naturally decay back to zero. If you wish to learn more about ICP® sensors, consult The rule of thumb for signal discharge, as outlined in PCB's General Signal Conditioning Guide (G-000lE), a Figure 4, is this: for the first 10% of the DTC, the signal...
3-COMPONENT FORCE LINK OPERATION MANUAL 9.0 TROUBLESHOOTING When a PCB signal conditioner with any of the 10.0 MAINTENANCE following indicators are used, tum the power on and observe the voltmeter ( or LED's) on the front panel. The sensor connector must be kept clean, especially if it is operating in a dusty and/or wet environment.
