METHOD 1 - Adhesive Mounting Base This method involves attaching a base to the test structure, then securing the sensor to the base. This allows for easy removal of the accelerometer. Also, since the bases are of a “hard-coated” aluminum design, they provide electrical isolation to eliminate ground loops and reduce electrical interference that may be present on the surface of the test object.
pins.) In many cases, it is also helpful to protect the Once each element is connected, allow a few minutes for solder joint with heat-shrink tubing or epoxy. the system to thermally stabilize. Place the switch on the charge amplifier in the OPERATE position and Note: If you do not have the experience or resources to proceed with the measurement.
For these reasons, it is recommended that a recalibration cycle be established for each accelerometer. This schedule is unique and is based on a variety of factors, such as extent of use, environmental conditions, accuracy requirements, trend information obtained from previous calibration records, contractual regulations, frequency of “cross-checking”...

along the axis of motion, as the mounting stiffness may be altered. The vibration at the test sensor sensing element may differ from the vibration at the reference standard due to a “cantilever” effect, seen in Figure 15. Figure 13. Stud Mounting For adhesive mount sensors, use a thin, stiff layer of temporary adhesive such as quick-bonding gel or superglue.
