Optimizer4D Technical Specifications
10 / 27
Sensors
consists of a piezo-ceramic
element which detects high frequen-
cy impulses, also known as acoustic
emission or structure borne noise. The
piezo-ceramic element is placed into
a cylindrical housing of heat-treatable
aluminium.
Do not expose the sensors to
tempera-
tures
above 130° Celsius.
Mount
the sensors with a torx wrench
(size t-25), use a force of 6 newton-
meters. If the surface is not flat, a tin
washer is used. You can also use a
magnetic adapter
, but the signal trans-
mission is better if you use screws.
Attach the sensor as close to the tool or
work piece as possible to ensure signal
strength.
Following installation and commissio-
ning, Optimizer4D executes a
self-test
,
in order to determine if the sensors are
correctly installed, among other things.
This test is done with 550 V. There is
no danger for persons, for the galvanic
isolation between sensor housing and
the sensor itself.
The
sensor cable
(from sensor to pre-
amplifier) is equipped with MCX (or
Microdot for CiS.01) plugs, standard
has one straight and one angled plug.
Depending on the kind of usage you
can choose between several lines:
• different lenghts
• different line sheathings, e.g.
teflon or synthetic material.
