Page 9: Wiring And Operation
Wiring and Operation Input Signal: • Differential Piezoelectric Sensor: Connect the sensor’s positive charge output to the positive input (IN1+) and the sensor’s negative charge output to negative input (IN2-) using low-noise cable. • Non-Differential Piezoelectric Sensor: Connect the sensor output to the negative input (IN2-) and short the positive input (IN1+) and common (Ⱶ) using low-noise cable. -
Page 10: Calculation Of Gain
Note: The value of the resistor must be ≤250 Ω and the input voltage (the node labeled POWER in the diagram below) must be ≥22VDC. If a larger resistor value is used, this will cause the unit to not work properly and/or will limit the maximum output current. Calculation of Gain An amplifier is selected by specifying an input sensitivity and an output sensitivity. -
Page 11: Structural Diagram
Example: An amplifier ordered with 10 pC/g input sensitivity and a 100 mV/g output sensitivity would have a gain of 100 mV/g / 10 pC/g = 10 mV/pC. Structural Diagram The amplifier structural diagram is shown below: The amplifier converts the charge-based signal from a piezoelectric transducer into a current and voltage signal. -
Page 12: Ordering Information
• 421B30 for Use with Pressure Sensor = 421B3X-0017-P-0350-P-10-050 • 421B31 for Use with Accelerometer = 421B3X-0010-G-0100-G-10-010 Special Considerations High source capacitance may degrade the performance of the amplifier. Source capacitance is the input capacitance to the amplifier defined as transducer capacitance plus cable capacitance. If the source capacitance is increased due to a long length of cable, amplifier noise will increase and frequency response will decrease. -
