Connecting the sensors
One sensor can be connected to the CMD charge ampli
fier. If required, you can use the CSB4/1 summing box to
connect up to four sensors in parallel operation.
Please note the following when making the connection:
S Due to the very high insulation of the charge amplifier
input, the signal or charge input must be protected
against contamination. Insulation is reduced by mois
ture and contamination; this can lead to increased drift
and invalid measurement results.
Clean the plug connection as required with a clean,
lint‐free paper towel or cleaning pad (e.g. HBM order
ing number 1-8402.0026) and pure isopropanol (e.g.
IPA200 from RS Components). Also refer to Section
14.3, "Information about the charge amplifier and elec
trical connection", on page 68.
S Use the connection cable included among the items
supplied, if possible. Once fitted, it should stay con
nected at the transducer. We otherwise recommend
using high‐insulation, low‐noise cables from the HBM
range (1-KAB143-3). These have been tested for high
insulation resistance, low noise and small interference
charges during movement.
S Where possible, short‐circuit the sensor before con
nection as piezoelectric sensors can generate high
voltages. These could damage the charge amplifier.
S Connect the sensor cable to the transducer connec
tion socket of the CMD. Comply with the maximum
tightening torque of 1.5 Nm for the 10‐32 UNF socket.
S To connect the sensor to the BNC socket of the
CMD600 or CMD2000 with cable 1KAB1433, you
also need sensor adapter 1CONP3001, or cable
1KAB176X with a BNC socket.
