QUARTZ STRAIN SENSOR OPERATION MANUAL 4.0 OPERATION 4.1 TYPICAL ICP SYSTEM CONFIGURATION Sensors with built-in ICP circuitry require a constant-current excitation voltage for operation. The enclosed Specification Sheet provides specific power requirements. Required supply voltage is normally 20 to 30 VDC, while the constant current required ranges from 2 to 20 mA.

QUARTZ STRAIN SENSOR OPERATION MANUAL 5.0 POLARITY The discharge time constant represents the decay rate of an input signal. One DTC represents the amount of time taken for Extension of the mounting area of an ICP strain sensor the signal to decay to 37% of the initial peak value. As produces a positive-going voltage output.
QUARTZ STRAIN SENSOR OPERATION MANUAL 9.0 TROUBLESHOOTING Observe the following precautions when using the sensor: When a PCB signal conditioner with any of the following indicators are used, turn the power on and observe the A. Do not exceed the maximum strain levels for the strain voltmeter (or LED's) on the front panel.
