Connect the accelerometer
1. Connect the piezoelectric accelerometer as shown below.
Caution
The magnet attachment VP-53S is extremely powerful
(0.8 kG to 1 kG). Proceed with care to prevent the
risk of injury when bringing the attachment in contact
with the measurement object.
Keep the magnet attachment at least 50 centimeters
away from any magnetic media such as memory
cards. Otherwise data can be destroyed.
Note
Besides the supplied Piezoelectric Accelerometer PV-57I,
other accelerometers with integrated preampli er (CCLD
type) of PV-91C and so on can also be used. In this case,
a BNC adapter (VP-52C), low-noise cable (VP-51A,
VP-51L) and other accessories may be required.
The Piezoelectric Accelerometer PV-57 or PV-57A
cannot be used.
Before starting to use the unit, the piezoelectric
accelerometer sensitivity must be set. For details
about the setting procedure, see the “Making sensor
settings” section on the next page.
