Outline

The UV-16 is a two-channel charge amplifi er for vibration measurements using 

piezoelectric accelerometers or accelerometers with integrated preamplifi er. 

By linking the chassis of up to 16 units, a multi-channel confi guration with 

up to 32 channels is possible. The main unit is equipped with an LCD panel, 

alarm LEDs, operation panel, input connectors (micro-dot), output connec-

tors (BNC), DC IN jack, and link connector.

Power is supplied by the optional AC adapter NC-97 series (up to 10 UV-16 

units), or NC-99 series (up to 16 UV-16 units) (CE mark). In confi gurations 

with a low number of channels (up to 3 units), the dedicated Battery Unit 

BP-17 (option) with 8 IEC R14 (size C) batteries can also be used.
