  • Page 8: Basic Information

    Charge and thermocouple amplifier, Type 5159A... 2. Basic information The Type 5159A… multichannel-charge amplifier converts the charge signal from piezoelectric cavity pressure sen- sors and thermocouples into analog output signals or into a digital output with an Ethernet real-time protocol as per EUROMAP 75 with Varan or EtherCAT.
  • Page 9: Charge Amplifier

    Basic information 2.1 Charge amplifier The term "charge amplifier" does not denote a device that amplifies a charge Q1 to a value of Q2. Kistler uses this term to denote a device that converts charge Q into a volt- age U or into a digital signal.

    Charge and thermocouple amplifier, Type 5159A... = 14,100 pC ⇒ Range I = 300 bar = 2,800 pC ⇒ Range II The charge amplifier is only suitable for cyclical measure- ments and requires a Reset signal before every measuring cycle. To perform measurements, the Reset/Operate signal must be set to Operate.

    Basic information measuring range". Four measuring ranges/span lists are available as per EURO- MAP 75: Measuring range I = ±2,000 pC Measuring range II = ±5,000 pC. Measuring range III = ±10,000 pC. Measuring range IV = ±20,000 pC. In the same way as for the analog charge amplifiers, the maximum charge that occurs is calculated as follows: [pC] = P [bar] •...

    Charge and thermocouple amplifier, Type 5159A... 2.2.1 Important requirement for use with analog charge amplifier Function of the digital machine signal inputs The digital input can be connected internally either with po- tential of 18 ... 30 VDC or with GND. Test, Operate, Range II and Sensitivity are therefore activat- ed with the opposite potential or (on a customized basis) in response to any desired potential.
  • Page 13 Basic information ii. Digital machine outputs (active = 10 ... 30 V, inactive <5 V): The digital input can be connected internally either with po- tential of 18 ... 30 VDC or with GND. Test, Operate, Range II and Sensitivity are therefore activat- ed with the opposite potential or (on a customized basis) in response to any desired potential.
  • Page 14 Possible values for the sensitivity are 1 ... 50 pC/bar. Two decimal places should be available for the input. The most frequently used Kistler cavity pressure sensors have –2.5 pC/bar or –9.4 pC/bar. The minus sign (–) is not relevant to the calculation and can be disregarded.
