Pickups
Two types of pickups can be connected:
a) Vibration Velocity Transducers
b) Vibration Acceleration Transducers (Accelerometers)
Velocity pickups and accelerometers have different interfaces. The
velocity transducer (Type VS - ...) is an active pickup, i.e. it does
not require a supply voltage. The cable has two conductors and a
shield.
The accelerometer (Type AS - ...) is a passive pickup, i.e. it has a
built-in charge amplifier which requires a supply voltage. VIBRO-
CONTROL 1100 supplies accelerometers with -24 V DC with a
max. current of 30 mA. The cable has of 4 conductors and a
shield.

Standard pickup cable length is 5 m (16 feet). A maximum cable
length of 200 m (600 feet) requires proper installation including
appropriate junction boxes and signal cables.
For more information, please consult the manual for the pickup
used.
