  • Page 4: Prior To Use

    ●  Lay input cables at proper intervals with a certain play so that they may not receive any unreasonable force. Failure to do so will pose the risk of erroneous data, disconnection and connector failure. ●  Do not disassemble or remodel the CVM-40A. Failure to do so will pose the risk of electric shock and system failure.
  • Page 5: Limited Life Parts And Preventive Maintenance

    Preventive maintenance and replacement parts are a cost-effective way of keeping the performance and extending the service life of the CVM-40A. Regardless of the replacement parts, the CVM-40A itself gradually deteriorates with age. Before the expected service life is reached, consider replacing the CVM-40A with a new one or the latest series as preventive maintenance.

    Always turn OFF the EDX-100A/200A/3000A before installing/removing the CVM-40A. Or, damage on the CVM-40A or EDX-100A/200A/3000A may result in. When installing or removing the CVM-40A in/from the EDX-100A/EDX-200A/EDX-3000A, do not touch any component parts of the CVM-40A. Or, system failure or damage may result in.
  • Page 11: Connecting Sensors

    2. CONNECTING SENSORS The CVM-40A is a conditioner card for a strain gage, strain gage transducer, voltage, and voltage-output-type piezoelectric accelerometer. The input cable should be connected as described below. 2.1 When Using a Strain Gage or Strain Gage Transducer When measuring the output of the strain gage, connect the bridge box to the CVM input cable U-121 to U-123 (optional) as shown in the following figure.
  • Page 12: When Applying An Input Voltage

    WARNING Do not apply any voltage beyond the specified input voltage range. The specified input voltage range of the CVM-40A is ±50 V. Failure to do so will pose the risk of electric shock, deteriorated performance and system failure. Precautions when measuring the DC voltage of a battery, power supply, etc.

    (optional) to a CVM input cable U-121 to U-123 (optional) as shown in the following figure. NOTE Applicable sensor for the CVM-40A is a voltage-output-type piezoelectric accelerometer. No measurement is allowed if an electric charge output type piezoelectric accelerometer is directly connected.
  • Page 14 Although the time required until the output voltage becomes stable varies according to sensors in use or CVM-40A measuring range, the output voltage becomes stable in approximately 20 to 40 seconds. Wait for a while until it becomes stable before starting the measurement.
  • Page 15: Setting Channel Conditions

    3 SETTING CHANNEL CONDITIONS For the EDX-100A/200A, use the DCS-100A in your PC for settings. For the EDX-3000A, use the EDX-3000A itself or DCS-100A in your PC for settings. For details, refer to "DCS-100A Instruction Manual for EDX-100A/200A/3000A" and "EDX-3000A Instruction Manual for Hardware."...

    ・ When the input signal is larger than the preset measuring range, both recording data and monitor output signal become saturated. ・ The smaller the measuring range is, the higher becomes the gain of the CVM-40A. Therefore, the noise tends to become larger.

  • Page 25: Appendix

    When inputting the same strain signal or the same voltage signal into the CVM-40A and CDV-40B/A at the same time, time lag occurs between the data of the CVM-40A and that of the CDV-40B/A. Time lag occurs due to the difference of the frequency response, low-pass filter circuit, and A/D converter included in every conditioner card.
