CMD
Tips for piezoelectric measurement technology
Required materials:
S CFW force washer with centering sleeve (included in
the scope of supply)
S CPS pre-stressing set
S Charge cable
S Charge amplifier
S Connection cable to the PC
S PC with Ethernet interface, CMD assistant running
under Windows XP/Vista/7/8
Calibration of the measuring chain
Calibration always takes place once the sensor is fitted.
This means that nothing about the mechanical mounting
conditions should be changed after the calibration pro
cess.
S Fit the sensor as specified in this operating manual.
S Apply pre-stress. 10% of the measuring range is the
minimum. The ideal pre-stress is designed to operate
the washer at 50% of its nominal (rated) force.
The pre-stress can be measured with the washer
itself, and to do this, adjust the washer sensitivity in
accordance with the manufacturing certificate inclu
ded with the CFW. Use the CMD Assistant for this
(menu item : "Sensor sensitivity" in pC/N).
S Mount the sensor with the pre-stress device..
S Set up the CMD for pC measurement:
- Connect the CMD to a PC.
- Set the sensitivity to 1. The amplifier measures the
charge in pC.
