Total Customer Satisfaction – PCB

Piezotronics guarantees Total Customer

Satisfaction. If, at any time, for any

reason, you are not completely satisfied

with any PCB product, PCB will repair,

replace, or exchange it at no charge. You

may also choose to have your purchase

price refunded in lieu of the repair,

replacement, or exchange of the product.

Service – Due to the sophisticated nature

of the sensors and associated

instrumentation provided by PCB

Piezotronics, user servicing or repair is

not recommended and, if attempted, may

void the factory warranty. Routine

maintenance, such as the cleaning of

electrical connectors, housings, and

mounting surfaces with solutions and

techniques that will not harm the

physical material of construction, is

acceptable. Caution should be observed

to insure that liquids are not permitted to

migrate into devices that are not

hermetically sealed. Such devices should

only be wiped with a dampened cloth

and never submerged or have liquids

poured upon them.

Repair – In the event that equipment

becomes damaged or ceases to operate,

arrangements should be made to return

the equipment to PCB Piezotronics for

repair. User servicing or repair is not

recommended and, if attempted, may

void the factory warranty.

Calibration – Routine calibration of

sensors and associated instrumentation is

recommended as this helps build

confidence in measurement accuracy and

acquired data. Equipment calibration

cycles are typically established by the

users own quality regimen. When in

doubt about a calibration cycle, a good

“rule of thumb” is to recalibrate on an

annual basis. It is also good practice to

recalibrate after exposure to any severe

temperature extreme, shock, load, or

other environmental influence, or prior

to any critical test.

PCB Piezotronics maintains an ISO-

9001 certified metrology laboratory and

offers calibration services, which are

accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025,

with full traceablility to N.I.S.T. In

addition to the normally supplied

calibration, special testing is also

available, such as: sensitivity at elevated

or cryogenic temperatures, phase

response, extended high or low

frequency response, extended range, leak

testing, hydrostatic pressure testing, and

others. For information on standard

recalibration services or special testing,

contact your local PCB Piezotronics

distributor, sales representative, or

factory customer service representative.

Returning Equipment – Following

these procedures will insure that your

returned materials are handled in the

most expedient manner. Before returning

any equipment to PCB Piezotronics,

contact your local distributor, sales

representative, or factory customer

service representative to obtain a Return

Warranty, Service, Repair, and

MULTICHANNEL SIGNAL CONDITIONER MODEL 482C27 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL

1-0. INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

1-1. Introduction: Safety Considerations

WARNING SYMBOLS AND TERMS

The following symbols and terms may be found on the equipment described in this manual.

This symbol on the unit indicates that the user should refer to the operating instructions located in the manual.

This symbol on the unit indicates that high voltage may be present. Use standard safety precautions to avoid

personal contact with this voltage.

This symbol indicates that the test fixture, Model 482C, must be connected to earth ground via the power cord.

The WARNING heading used in this manual explains dangers that might result in personal injury or death. Always

read the associated information very carefully before performing the indicated procedure.

The Caution heading used in this manual explains hazards that could damage the instrument.

WARNING 1: The power supply/signal conditioner should not be opened by anyone other than qualified service

personnel. This product is intended for service by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar

with the safety precautions required to avoid injury.

WARNING 2: This equipment is designed with user safety in mind; however, the protection provided by the equipment

may be impaired if the equipment is used in a manner not specified by PCB Piezotronics, Inc.

Caution 1: Cables can kill your equipment. High voltage Electro Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electrical

devices. Similar to a capacitor, a cable can hold a charge caused by triboelectric transfer, such as that which occurs in

the following:

•Laying on and moving across a rug.

•Any movement through air.

•The action of rolling out a cable.

•Contact to a non-grounded person

The solution for product safety: 1) Connect the cables only with the AC power off. 2) Temporarily “short” the end of

the cable before attaching it to any signal input or output.

Caution 2: ESD considerations should be made prior to performing any internal adjustments on the equipment. Any

piece of electronic equipment is vulnerable to ESD when opened for adjustments. Internal adjustments should therefore

be done ONLY at an ESD-safe work area. Many products have ESD protection, but the level of protection may be

exceeded by extremely high voltage that is typically present in normal situations.

MULTICHANNEL SIGNAL CONDITIONER MODEL 482C27 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL

EQUIPMENT RATINGS

For complete specifications, please refer to the enclosed Specification Sheet. This equipment operates optimally at +32

to +120°F (0 to +50°C), in an environment having <85% relative humidity. Its line power frequency range is 50/60 Hz.

The Model 482C requires 10-15 VDC with 500 mA to operate. In turn, it supplies 24 VDC, 2 to 20 mA excitation

voltage to connected ICPor in-line charge converters sensors. The unit gets its power via AC power adaptor, 12 VDC

battery pack, 28 VDC or a car adapter which plugs into the receptacle on the rear panel.

1-2. Model 482C System Description

The model 482C27 is a four-channel, bench top signal conditioner that offers low noise operation and

simplicity of use. Each channel is selectable between two input types: Bridge/MEMS or ICP®/Voltage.

For the bridge inputs, this model offers up to 12 VDC unipolar or bipolar excitation voltage for use with

differential, single-ended, MEMS and bridge sensors like load cells and reaction torque sensors. This mode

features incremental gain of x0.1 to x2000, normalization, shunt calibration and AC/DC coupling. In dc

coupled mode, auto-balance and auto-zero functions automatically compensate the internal circuitry to

provide a zero based output.

The bridge inputs are compatible with full bridge sensors as well as ½ and ¼ bridge sensors with internal

switchable bridge completion resistors. The maximum current available is 30mA, with a current limit set at

40mA to prevent damage from inadvertent shorting.

For the ICP® inputs, the model offers 1 to 20 mA of constant current excitation to power ICP sensors or in-

line ICP® charge converters. This model features incremental gain of x.1 to x200, normalization, and AC/DC

coupling. In dc coupled mode, an auto-zero function is available to automatically compensate the internal

circuitry to provide a zero based output. In Voltage input mode current excitation is set to 0 mA (off).

The base unit of this model is powered from 9 to 18 VDC but is supplied with a universal voltage, AC power

adapter. An optional auto lighter adapter (488A13) is also available.

Model 482C27 offers the following:

•Provides Sensor Excitation Voltage or ICP® Power

•Compatible with Full, ½, and ¼ Bridge Sensors

•Suitable for Conditioning Any Voltage Input Signals

•AC/DC Coupling

•Auto Zero and Auto Balance Functions

•Digital Data Output

•Gain of 0.1 to 2000 for bridge inputs

•Gain of 0.1 to 200 for ICP®/voltage inputs

•Menu-driven Dot Matrix Display

•Keypad, RS-232, and Ethernet Control

•Remote control via either RS-232 or Ethernet using the supplied software

•compatible with PCB’s line of dc accelerometers, such as models 3901 and 3741

1-2.1 Model 482C ICP

Input/Output Mode, All Models

The Model 482C contains a regulated 24 VDC power supply that provides constant current for up to 4 individual

channels. Both the output and input connections utilize BNC connectors and are brought out through the rear panel.

1-3. Block Diagram

Figure 1 Typical Block Diagram of Model 482C27

1-4 Installation

Model 482C comes in the form of a standard box. The box should be located in such a way as to allow convenient

access to the power outlet for disconnect purposes. Since these units have low power consumption, they can be located

in confined environments.

1-4.1. Grounding Techniques

Integrating the Model 482C unit into an application that links the outputs to other test equipment powered by line

voltages may lead to errors or loss of signal-to-noise ratio due to ground loops. The evidence of ground loops is easily

seen whenever the fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz) or a multiple of the fundamental frequency is present in the

system when the sensors are “at rest.” In order to maintain the operating specification of noise and reduce the effects of

line interference, proper grounding techniques should be used. The following procedure may be helpful:

1. Make sure the signal ground lines of all equipment are tied together. The signal grounds of the channels are typically

tied together via the case of the input and output BNC connectors. The individual channels of the Model 482C have

their signal ground line tied together internally at the power supply.
