1. General Information
The amplifier Type 4624AK... is a measuring amplifier for
piezoresistive pressure sensors for universal application. As
a result of its automatic sensor identification (PiezoSmart®),
the amplifier can be adapted to the connected pressure sen-
sor within a very short amount of time. This results in high
flexibility and process reliability in day-to-day applications.
The present instructions are for rapid commissioning of the
amplifier. Additional technical information can be found in
the data sheet (Doc. No. 003-105). For explanations regard-
ing optional parameterization via the web interface, please
refer directly to the Online Help function.
2. Scope of Delivery and Accessories
Included in the scope of delivery (contents of packaging) are:
• Amplifier Type 4624A
• Installation plate
Connecting cables for signal output and network connection
are available as optional accessories (see data sheet Type
4624AK..., Doc. No. 003-105).
3. Measuring Chain Overview
The amplifier is equipped with the Kistler PiezoSmart® sensor
identification feature. This enables the characteristic values of
the sensor to be read out automatically by an electronic data
sheet (TEDS) integrated in the sensor. Various measurement
chains and compatibilities are displayed below.

5. Voltage Supply and Signal Outputs
Voltage supply and analog signal outputs for pressure and
temperature are accomplished through the 8 pin socket with
M12x1 locking mechanism (A). The connection can be made
in various ways:
• Standard industrial cable (8 pin, M12x1)
e.g. Kistler Type 4777A5 (5m)
• Connecting cable with BNC signal outputs for pressure
and temperature Kistler Type 1200A179A3 (3m)
• Adapter cable for the connection to a Binder plug in the
case of previous utilization of an amplifier of Type 4618
Kistler Type 4775A0,5 (0,5m)
In the event that a standard industrial cable is used, supply
and signal reception are to be executed in accordance with
the following pin assignment.
Note on voltage supply and GND wiring:
• Voltage supply must range between 10 ... 30 VDC.
Values above 30 VDC could damage the device.
Values below 10 VDC could lead to malfunctions.
• Supply GND (-) must not be connected with Signal
GND (-) of analog signal output.
6. Connecting Sensors
More recent sensor generations permit the direct connection
of the sensors (DS Types) to the amplifier. Older sensors can
be connected using a connecting cable ( Chap. 3).
When using Kistler sensors and adapter cables, the connector
configuration is standardized and need not be checked. The
following section can be skipped.
Connecting sensors from other manufacturers:
When using sensors from other manufacturers, the connec-
tion must be accomplished in accordance with the following
testing bridge definition:
Instructions when using sensors from other manu-
facturers:
• The sensor testing bridge is supplied by the amplifier
with 1 mA constant current. This requires recalcula-
tions of sensitivity and the sensor zero point (ZMO)
under certain circumstances
• In order to avoid temperature errors, the sensor
must be equipped with analog temperature com-
pensation

Sections 7 and 8 refer to the displays and operating
elements on the front panel of the amplifier:
7. Explanation of the LEDs
The 5 LEDs on the amplifier indicate the operating status of
the amplifier.
8. Adjusting the Zero Point with Pushbuttons
The zero point of the sensor can be adjusted using the push-
buttons located on the front panel or via the web interface.
In order to obtain as precise a measurement as possible, the
zero point must be corrected at regular intervals. The main
reasons for the shifting of the zero point are:
• Zero point shifting caused by installation of the sensor
(tightening torque)
• Change in surrounding temperature conditions of the sensor
• Aging of the sensor
Procedure for using pushbuttons to make adjustments:
Resetting the zero point:
The zero balance can be reset via the pushbuttons. To accom-
plish this, proceed as follows:
1. Briefly press the 'Offset Adjust' button once
The Uout or Iout LED flashes green (setting mode)
2. Press both arrow buttons simultaneously for at least 1
second
The zero point is reset
3. Press the 'Offset Adjust' button once more
The Uout or Iout LED stops flashing
9. Amplifier Parameterization via Web Interface
Amplifier parameterization via web interface is mandatory in
the case of sensors either without or with an old version of
PiezoSmart® Standard ( Chap. 3, Measuring Chain Over-
view). Nevertheless, additional settings can be made for all
sensors or additional features can be used:
• Conversion of the signal outputs (voltage to current out-
put)
• User-defined amplifier settings
• Information regarding a connected PiezoSmart® sensor
• Digital display of pressure and temperature
• Simplified zero-point setting
• Digitally adjustable low-pass filter
• Firmware update
• Gain adjustment of measuring chain
• Lock sensor to amplifier (measuring chain)
Establishing a connection to the amplifier:
Here the procedure of a direct connection of a single amplifi-
er with a computer is shown (for other connection types, see
video tutorials on www.kistler.com). To this end, the com-
puter’s IP address must be adjusted. We recommend the
following procedure:
1. Ensure that the amplifier is working at the default factory
settings, respectively, a static IP of 192.168.1.100 is set
(Restoring all settings Chap. 11)
2. Switch off all network connections (e.g. WLAN), which
are not connected to the amplifier
3. Connect the amplifier (connection E) with a computer
using a network cable (e.g. Kistler Type 1200A49A1)
4. Change the IP address of the computer:
a) Start Control Panel Network and Internet
Open Network and Sharing Center
b) Open the menu “Change adapter settings”
c) Open properties of the LAN connection
d) Open properties of the internet protocol v4
e) Use the static IP address 192.168.1.101 and subnet
mask 255.255.255.0:
10. Installation of the Amplifier
The amplifier can be screwed onto a fixed surface with the
installation plate supplied.
11. Restoring all Settings
The factory default settings of the amplifier can be restored
using the operating buttons on the front panel. This will
cause all user and network settings to be reset. To accomplish
this, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the device (disconnect power supply)
2. Switch on the device while at the same time pressing the
'up' arrow button for 10 seconds
3. The status LED (1) is illuminated in red and flashes red 3
times when the reset has been successful.
12. Repairs at Kistler
Repairs at the Kistler factory can be arranged via the local
sales company.
Information can be found under www.kistler.com
13. Disposal Instructions for Electronic Devices
Old electronics devices may not be dis-
posed of with household refuse/residu-
al waste. Please return disused devices
to the nearest electronics disposal office
for disposal or contact your Kistler Sales
Representative.

the address bar of the browser
Switching amplifier to DHCP-mode:
The amplifier can be switched to DHCP-mode (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). This may be useful in case of an
amplifier integration into a company's network. The DHCP-
mode can be set by using the push buttons at the front panel:
1. Switch off the device (disconnect power supply)
2. Switch on the device while at the same time pressing the
‘down’ arrow button for 10 seconds
3. The status LED (1) is illuminated in red and flashes red 3
times when the change was successful.
