Page 10: High Impedance Measuring System
For special purposes however, charge transducers can be used with external impedance converters (e.g. Kistler Types 557, and 558) and the 5010B… operated in the 'Voltage' mode. These impedance converters act in the same way as the internal circuitry of low impedance transducers described in section 3.3.3. -
Page 11: Low Impedance Measuring System
The decoupling capacitor also serves to convert the low impedance transducer output into a charge signal which is fed into the charge amplifier input. Once the voltage signal is converted into a charge signal, the unit functions in the manner described in the above paragraph. 002-119e-03.08 KISTLER... -

Page 14: The Charge Amplifier
Ohms an amplifier with a high input impedance is required. High impedance voltage amplifiers were used but, since the introduction of the charge amplifier, by Kistler, voltage amplifiers are seldom used in Piezoelectric applications. Unlike a charge amplifier a voltage amplifier looks at the transducer as a voltage source. -

Page 20: Mode Selection
The 'Voltage' mode is used for low impedance voltage mode transducers. The 5010B… provides constant current power to Kistler and other low impedance piezoelectric sensors. This unit is variously' known as a constant current source supply or ICP power supply. When the 'Voltage' mode is activated transducer power is applied to the rear panel 'Voltage Input' BNC receptacle. -

5010B… is shipped with a 4-pole Butterworth low pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 180 kHz. Kistler offers a selection of low-pass filters with a variety of cut-off frequencies. Notch filters are also available. Standard Kistler filters are listed in Table 4. - Page 24 5312A112 45 kHz 217C1617C Pressure Transducer Table 4: Standard Filters Do not change filters with the unit power turned on.

Page 31: The Remote Control Interface
Amplifiers, a remote control is particularly useful for switching between 'Reset' and 'Operate' on all amplifiers simultaneously. Remote control can be accomplished by the use of the Kistler 5663 remote control, or the user can interface the 5010B… to other instruments and/or controllers. -
Page 32: Maintenance And Calibration
Page 31 8 Maintenance and Calibration Calibration It is recommended that the 5010B… be returned to Kistler annually for calibration.
