---- Low Pass Filtering The 5210 power supply will accept optional low pass filters. The filters are the plug in style and listed in Table 1 which indicates the selection of optional accessories available. With an attenuation rate of 12 dB/octave, the filtering action of these units is mild. The choice of which filter to use is normally dictated by the frequency or frequency range of the interest offending information.

• Piezoresistive pressure sensors and transmitters with associated signal conditioning. Kistler can also provide entire measuring systems for special applications, as in the automotive industry, plastics processing and biomechanics. Our general catalog provides technical information on the overall product line.
9V battery, an external DC power source, or an AC-DC power adaptor (minimum 12V output). The Type 5210 (see Figure 1 on next page) provides voltage excitation and can also compensate for the 2.5 VDC bias component from the capacitive silicon micromachined accelerometer.

Page 8 Supplied and Optional Items The standard power supply, 5210 is supplied in a hand held case that is suitable for stand-alone operation. The 5210S1 kit consists of 5210, 9V battery, 120V wall mount power supply adaptor, 1592A (2 meter cable), a ruggedized carrying case and instruction manual.
Voltage Regulator And Voltage Converter Power conditioning is accomplished with a voltage regulator and voltage converter. Figure 2, on the next page, shows a block diagram of the 5210 power supply. A typical K-BEAM accelerometer requires 9 volts of highly regulated DC.
Input “Temp. Out” Compensation BLOCK DIAGRAM - MODEL 5210 Figure 2: Block diagram of 5210 power supply 4.1.1 Sensor Supply Voltage Internal Voltage regulation to within ±5% of 9 Volts is accomplished even with poorly regulated inputs. Long cable lengths will require additional voltage to overcome the voltage drop from cable resistance.
Cable length will affect the bias level. The two adjustment provisions have been included in the power supply for a high level of application flexibility and user convenience. Low Pass Filtering The 5210 power supply will accept optional low pass filters. The filters B12.5210e -5.99...
Kistler. To add a low pass filter to the 5210, the unit must be opened to gain access to the circuit board where the socket is located. Jumper W3 must be changed to bridge in the filter.
The conditioned output, is available from the BNC negative connector labeled “Output” on the top panel of the 5210 instrument. The bias is compensated as explained in section 4.2. The BNC negative connector labeled “Temp. Output” is useful with accelerometers that also provide temperature indication signals.
5.3.2 Battery Back-Up If the 5210 is going to be operated using external power (DC source or power adaptor), the user may remove or keep the battery in the unit. If a battery is installed in the unit, the user will have the added advantage of an uninterruptable power source.
5.4.3 Front Panel The following receptacles are located on the top panel of the 5210 going clockwise from the upper left-hand corner: • “DC In” - 2.1mm connector is provided to connect a power adaptor if use of the internal battery is not desired.
7. When re-assembling the case, take care not to over tighten the case screws. Maintenance and Calibration Calibration There is no calibration procedure required for the 5210 power supply. Maintenance and Repairs No periodic maintenance is required. Factory repair is recommended where trained personnel and appropriate measuring equipment and fixtures are available.
Appendix A - Condensed Operating Instructions This section provides the user with a quick means of placing the 5210 into operation. The notes in parentheses, refer to the manual sections where more detailed information is available.

Appendix B - Case Opening Instructions for Access to Jumpers Be certain the 5210 is not powered by removing the battery or external power source. Using a #1 or small Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws at the corners of the bottom half of the case.
Jumpers are designated by the prefix letter W followed by a single digit number: W2, W3, W4 and W5. These jumpers are used to change four operational characteristics of the 5210 : jumper used for...
