1. General Information
The amplifier Type 4624AK... is a measuring amplifier for
piezoresistive pressure sensors for universal application. As
a result of its automatic sensor identification (PiezoSmart
®
),
the amplifier can be adapted to the connected pressure sen-
sor within a very short amount of time. This results in high
flexibility and process reliability in day-to-day applications.
The present instructions are for rapid commissioning of the
amplifier. Additional technical information can be found in
the data sheet (Doc. No. 003-105). For explanations regard-
ing optional parameterization via the web interface, please
refer directly to the Online Help function.
2. Scope of Delivery and Accessories
Included in the scope of delivery (contents of packaging) are:
• Amplifier Type 4624A
• Installation plate
Connecting cables for signal output and network connection
are available as optional accessories (see data sheet Type
4624AK..., Doc. No. 003-105).
3. Measuring Chain Overview
The amplifier is equipped with the Kistler PiezoSmart
®
sensor
identification feature. This enables the characteristic values of
the sensor to be read out automatically by an electronic data
sheet (TEDS) integrated in the sensor. Various measurement
chains and compatibilities are displayed below.

5. Voltage Supply and Signal Outputs
Voltage supply and analog signal outputs for pressure and
temperature are accomplished through the 8 pin socket with
M12x1 locking mechanism (A). The connection can be made
in various ways:
• Standard industrial cable (8 pin, M12x1)
e.g. Kistler Type 4777A5 (5m)
• Connecting cable with BNC signal outputs for pressure
and temperature Kistler Type 1200A179A3 (3m)
• Adapter cable for the connection to a Binder plug in the
case of previous utilization of an amplifier of Type 4618
Kistler Type 4775A0,5 (0,5m)
In the event that a standard industrial cable is used, supply
and signal reception are to be executed in accordance with
the following pin assignment.
Note on voltage supply and GND wiring:
• Voltage supply must range between 10 ... 30 VDC.
Values above 30 VDC could damage the device.
Values below 10 VDC could lead to malfunctions.
• Supply GND (-) must not be connected with Signal
GND (-) of analog signal output.
6. Connecting Sensors
More recent sensor generations permit the direct connection
of the sensors (DS Types) to the amplifier. Older sensors can
be connected using a connecting cable ( Chap. 3).
When using Kistler sensors and adapter cables, the connector
configuration is standardized and need not be checked. The
following section can be skipped.
Connecting sensors from other manufacturers:
When using sensors from other manufacturers, the connec-
tion must be accomplished in accordance with the following
testing bridge definition:
Instructions when using sensors from other manu-
facturers:
• The sensor testing bridge is supplied by the amplifier
with 1 mA constant current. This requires recalcula-
tions of sensitivity and the sensor zero point (ZMO)
under certain circumstances
• In order to avoid temperature errors, the sensor
must be equipped with analog temperature com-
pensation
