Shortening The Cable; Cable Extension - HBM Z16A Bedienungsanleitung

Electrical connection
excitation voltage leads. However, there will be a voltage loss on the supply
leads due to the cable resistance that is still present and not compensated for
by the six-wire configuration. A large part of this loss can be eliminated by a
calibration, however, the temperature-dependent part remains.

The TK value given in the specifications for the transducer therefore does not
c
apply for the cable and transducer combination when connection is in a four-
wire configuration, where the cable percentage must be added.
7.3

Shortening the cable

If the transducer is connected to an amplifier in a six-wire configuration, the
transducer cable can be shortened as required, without adversely affecting the
measurement accuracy.
7.4

Cable extension

Only use shielded, low-capacitance measurement cables for extending. Ensure
that connection is perfect, with a low contact resistance.
The cable of a six-wire transducer can be extended with a cable of the same
type.
Cable types recommended by HBM:
S KAB8/00‐2/2/2 (by the meter, Order No. 4‐3301.0071 for gray or
4‐3301.0082 for blue version)
S CABA1 (cable roll, Order No. CABA1/20 = 20 m or CABA1/100 = 100 m
long)
