CHARGE MODE QUARTZ STRAIN SENSOR OPERATION MANUAL directly connected. It is recommended to use a source follower as close as possible to the charge output sensor. Driving long cables in a charge mode system is not suggested due to the induced noise. 5.0 POLARITY Extension of the mounting area on a charge mode strain sensor produce a positive output.
