Transducer connection
You can connect SG transducers in a full bridge circuit with a total bridge resistance of
R
B
= 80 … 4000Ω (40 … 4000 Ω with the AED9101D). If the transducer resistance is more
than 1000Ω, however, you can expect increased noise (measurement ripple). Transducer
excitation is supplied at 5V
DC
(bridge excitation voltage) via the basic device.
When connecting several transducers, use the HBM VKKx junction box.

Connect the transducer with 6-wire circuit in the basic device
(note HBM color and terminal coding)
Connection in a 6-wire circuit eliminates the effects of cable resistance. If you are using
several transducers, route the connection all the way to the junction box.
6.3.2
4wire circuit
You have two options for connecting transducers in a 4-wire circuit:
1. Connection without an extension cable
Bridge the sense lead at the AED (Fig. 6.4).
2. Connection via a 6wire extension cable
Bridge the sense lead in the transducer connector (Fig. 6.5).
