To perform these procedures, Firstly prepare the following tools:
- Function Generator (50 ohm output)
- DC power supply -24 Vdc
- Multimeter
- Small screw driver
- Capacitor 0.01 microfarad 1% capacitor, (BNC conector P/N 00448308)
- Connect power supply to the - 24 Vdc and COM terminals on the accelerometer, and adjust the output of power supply to -24Vdc, connect multimeter to the +ACCEL terminal, connect capacitor 0.01 microfarad to function generator, the input should connect to terminal C and leave pins A and B not connected. Don't forged to connect the interface module case to common through the case sheild terminal. Make sure the interface module case is netral
- Adjust the function generator to null output level and measure the acceleration signal with the multimeter, if the reading is more than a few milivolts rms then setup is probably injecting power line noise into the charge amplifier, this noise must be eliminated, reduce lead lengths and changing lead routing
- Adjust the function generator output to 0.3535 Vrms sine wave at 100 Hz for a transducer sensitivity of 50 pC/g, or 0.707 Vrms for tranducer sensitivity of 100pC/g
- Measure the acceleration output with the multimeter. If the output reads 0.3535+/-7.0 mV rms go to step 8, If the output does not read 0.3535 V rms +/- 7.0 mV rms continue with step 5
- Unscrew the four screws at each corner of the lid
- Open the lid and fold it back
- Adjust the potentiometer until the multimeter reads 0.3535 +/- 7.0 V rms, close and tighten the lid and verify thet the multimeter still reads 0.3535 V rms, if it does not repeat step 6 and 7, be aware when the lid is open the circuit is unshielded and the charge amp can pick up noise.
- Disconnect the input from pin C and connect it to pin A and leave pin C and B unconnected, verify that the multimeter still reads 0.3535 Vrms +/- 7.0 mVrms. If it does not then check your test setup as step 2 and repeat this step. If the test is not passed, replace the interface module.
