Using the conditioner
Operation is reduced to few steps:
»
Connect an ICP/IEPE standard sensor with the IN connector using a shielded cable, terminated
with BNC plug
»
Connect the conditioner output to measuring equipment (oscilloscope, data acquisition card,
etc.)
»
Connect an external power supply - necessary if the batteries haven’t been installed in the device
»
Turn on the conditioner - switch should be placed to the ON position
When the conditioner is turned on, the red LED labeled Power will lit, which means that the device is
ready for use.

Troubleshooting
The table contains the solution to some problems that the user may encounter during the operation of
the conditioner.
Problem
Solution
The unit will not turn on
Check if the switch is set to the ON position.
If the conditioner is battery powered, make sure that the batteries are installed in
the device and that they are in working order.
If an external power supply is used, make sure that the power adapter is connected
correctly (with compatible polarity), in case of a regulated power supply make sure
that it is set to supply 9V, check that the power supply is turned on.
No signal on
conditioner’s output
Check if the ‘Sensor Error’ LED shines, if yes - check connection of the sensor to the
conditioner and make sure that the sensor cable is OK - any breaks, cuts and
abrasions qualify it to be replaced. Make sure that the sensor is operational.
Output signal
conditioner is noisy
and/or disturbed
When an external power supply is used, make sure that it is a transformer with
linear stabilization. Using a power supply with pulse stabilization (inverter) may
increase the noise level.
Make sure the signal cable used to connect the sensor and the measuring
equipment are shielded cables.
Make sure that nearby there are no electrical devices turned on, that may interfere
with the operation of the conditioner.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the conditioner and power it up with batteries - in
some cases, excessive noise can penetrate from the network through the AC
adapter and affect the operation of the conditioner
