Connecting sensors
Connecting sensors
In general, to connect your sensors to HBK FUSION hardware, you need to:
1. "Connect the sensor to a cable" below
2. "Connect the sensor cable to an input board" on page30
NOTE
The input board must be in the frame during connection.
The following types of sensors are supported:
CCLD Board (B301D-12)
l
CCLD accelerometers
l
CCLD microphones
l
Direct voltage input
See the CCLD board specifications for any limitations on sensors and sensor cables.
Bridge Board (B201-10)
l
Strain gauges
l
Strain gauge-based transducers
l
Voltage transducers
l
Potentiometers
l
Resistance thermometers
See the Bridge board specifications for any limitations on sensors and sensor cables.
Connect the sensor to a cable
The first step in connecting sensors to the HBK FUSION hardware is to connect each sensor to the
appropriate cable. The appropriate cable depends on the sensor type and board connector. See below.
CCLD and voltage transducers
Board type: B301D-12
Connector type: 12×SMB
Use a cable with at least one SMB (female) connector to connect to the input board. Connection requires no
special instructions.
