2635  Charge Amplifier

Charge Amplifier Type 2635 is a comprehensively equipped charge conditioning amplifier. Type 2635’s output can be routed to portable tape recorders and level recorders, electronic voltmeters, measuring amplifiers and frequency analyzers. It can be powered from internal batteries or an external DC power supply, making it useful both in the field and in the laboratory.


Uses

  • Field and laboratory measurement of vibration in terms of acceleration, velocity and displacement together with piezoelectric accelerometer and voltmeter or measuring amplifier
  • Field recording of vibration and other signals together with portable tape recorders and level recorders
  • Underwater sound measurements with hydrophone
  • Mechanical impedance measurements

Features

  • Charge Input
  • 3 digit conditioning to transducer sensitivity
  • Unified output ratings for simplified system calibration
  • High sensitivity up to 10 V/pC
  • Built-in integrators for displacement and velocity
  • Switchable low and high frequency limits
  • Built-in test oscillator

Where transducers with a high temperature transient sensitivity are used, the high-pass filter in the input of the 2635 can be switched from 0.1 Hz to 1 Hz (- 3 dB) in order to reduce interference from signals originating from low frequency temperature fluctuations.

The special low-pass filter to limit the frequency range to 100 Hz (-10%) is used when recording vibration signals on tape for subsequent analysis in accordance with ISO 2631 (Guide for the evaluation of human exposure to whole-body vibration). These measurements are performed on passenger vehicles, tractors, and other machines where the human body as a whole is subjected to vibration.

The low frequency limit is extended down to 0.1 Hz (- 3 dB) in the linear mode to take advantage of the very low temperature transient sensitivity of Brüel & Kjær’s Delta Shear accelerometers and force transducers at these low frequencies.

The output amplifier features a three-digit sensitivity adjustment network which enables the 2635 to be conditioned to suit transducer sensitivities between 0.1 and 11 pC/unit. This feature greatly simplifies the calibration and reading of a measuring system, especially when using transducers which have “odd” sensitivity values (non Uni-Gain types).
