Total Customer Satisfaction Guarantee introduction The differential in-line charge converters are designed to convert the high impedance of a differential, charge mode piezoelectric transducer to a low-impedance voltage by means of an ICP ® signal conditioner. These units may be used with either quartz or ceramic, differential charge-mode piezoelectric sensors.
Total Customer Satisfaction Guarantee calculation of output scaling The differential 422 series contain high-gain, low-noise amplifiers connected in a charge amplifier configuration. The charge output of the transducer is transferred to the feedback capacitors of the amplifiers to develop a voltage which may be calculated using the following equation. = 422 Scaling (mV/pC) x Transducer Sensitivity (pC/Engineering Unit) where: Transducer sensitivity = positive sensitivity minus negative sensitivity...
Total Customer Satisfaction Guarantee special considerations High source capacitance may degrade the performance of the differential charge amp (source capacitance is the input capacitance defined as transducer capacitance + cable capacitance). In particular, noise may increase and high frequency response may decrease as source capacitance increases.
2 – ESD sensitivity This equipment is designed with user safety in mind; however, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if the equipment is used in a manner not specified by PCB Piezotronics, Inc. caution 1 – ESD sensitivity Cables can kill your equipment.
Total Customer Satisfaction Guarantee warranty PCB instrumentation is warranted against defective material and workmanship for 1 year unless otherwise expressly specified. Damage to instruments caused by incorrect power or misapplication, is not covered by warranty. If there are any questions regarding power, intended application, or general usage, please consult with your local sales contact or distributor.
Total Customer Satisfaction Guarantee customer service PCB guarantees Total Customer Satisfaction. If, at any time, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with any PCB product, PCB will repair, replace, or exchange it at no charge. You may also choose, within the warranty period, to have your purchase price refunded.
