    DC output sensitivity should be calibrated, or measured, before it is used. Follow these steps to measure the DC out- put sensitivity. Step 1 Calibrate the HVM100 for the accelerometer that will be used. Step 2 Setup the HVM100 with the following settings: a.
  • Page 160 40 dB 20 dB Step 4 Connect a DC rms voltmeter to the DC output. Step 5 Turn on the calibrator and start the HVM100 run- ning. The HVM100 should display an Arms level of 1 g. Step 6 Note the voltage reading on the voltmeter. The voltage corresponds to 1 g rms of acceleration.

    DC Output For all of the Analog AC and Analog DC outputs, the output impedance of the HVM100 is 475 ohms. For minimal error, connect to instruments with an input impedance of greater than 100,000 ohms when making AC or DC output measure- ments.

    20 dB). Therefore, in order for the HVM100’s AC output to function properly with each range (i.e. gain settings of 0, 20, 40, and 60 dB), the HVM100’s gain set- tings also affect the AC output signals. For example, with a gain setting of 0 dB, the HVM100 can measure input signals as large as 5.0 Vrms.
