Electronics & Software Charge Amplifi er Type 5010B… ® Dual Mode Charge Amplifi er with Piezotron Operating Mode Versatile, simple to use multi-range, line powered amplifi er that converts Kistler sensor signals into proportionally controlled volt- age. The dual mode allows for signals from either charge (high impedance) type pressure, force or acceleration sensors or volt- age (low impedance) types to be processed. • High and low impedance sensors • Dynamic and quasistatic measurements • Automatic zero adjustments • RS-232C interface • Ultra high accuracy and low noise • Ground isolates I/O connectors Description Application Type 5010B… is a versatile, line-powered, dual mode amplifi er The primary use for Type 5010B… charge amplifi er is to convert for use with high impedance (charge mode) or low impedance the charge signal from a high impedance piezoelectric force, pres- (voltage mode) sensors. In the charge mode, the unit converts the sure or acceleration type sensor into a high level output voltage input charge signal into a voltage proportional to the measurand. and provide excitation power along with signal processing for The voltage mode provides sensor source current for powering voltage mode type sensors. When Type 5010B… is used with a low impedance sensors. voltage mode sensor, the signal polarity as it passes through the The dual mode charge amplifi er can be used to measure dynamic amplifi er becomes inverted.
