Section 8 of this manual. 4. Principles of operation Most Kistler K-Beam accelerometer sensing elements consist of a very small inertial mass and flexure elements chemically etched from a single piece of silicon. The seismic mass is supported by flexure elements between two plates, which act as electrodes. - Page 12 K-Beam Accelerometers All K-Beam accelerometers provide an output signal similar to that produced by a piezoelectric accelerometer. Unlike a piezoelectric accelerometer, K-Beams are sensitive to static acceleration. Therefore, earth's gravity is a factor in the out- put signal and must be taken into account when mounting. As described earlier, K-Beam accelerometers produce an output when forces acting on a moveable element cause the element to change position.

K-Beam Accelerometers Contact your sales representative or Kistler directly for specific application information. 5. Installation This section is divided into three sub-sections: ƒ Mechanical installation ƒ Mounting techniques ƒ Mechanical and electrical requirements (by Type) K-Beam accelerometers with special mounting requirements are further described in their appropriate sections. -
Page 17: Mounting Techniques
Petro Wax for sufficient moun- ting attachment. The Petro Wax recommended is Kistler Type 8432 (Katt & Associates Type P102, P.O. Box 623, Zoar, Ohio 44697 USA) or an equivalent. Wax can be used if it provides repeatable results after the unit has been removed and remounted. -
Page 18: Stud Mounting: Type 8396A
5.2.1 Stud mounting: Type 8396A... Type 8396A… has a KIAG 10-32 threaded hole for stud mounting. Most Kistler mounting studs are machined from Beryllium Copper for high strength and low modulus of elasti- city, coupled with high elastic limits. The stud is removable allowing both stud and adhesive mounting. -

Page 33: Calibration And Maintenance
8.3 Calibration All Kistler transducers are calibrated against standards that are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Tech- nology (NIST). The sensitivity of a K-Beam system is stan- dardized to ±5 % of the stated nominal sensitivity. -
Page 34: Calibration Policy And Requirements
K-Beam Accelerometers Large mechanical shocks or other abuse may create a sensi- tivity shift or unit failure. It is recommended that the unit be recalibrated after exposure to environmental conditions beyond the specified limits. When the accelerometer is damaged, the output of the system will not move smoothly when exposed to acceleration changes and will exhibit discontinuities in the signal level. -
