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.

Foreword

Thank you for choosing a Kistler quality product. Please read

these instructions carefully, so that you can take optimum

advantage of the versatile features of this product.

The information in this document is subject to change at any

time without prior notice. Kistler reserves the right to improve

and alter this product in the interests of technical advance-

ment without being under obligation to notify any individuals

or organizations of such modifications.

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 (5m)

• Connecting cable with BNC signal outputs for pressure

and temperature  Kistler Type 1200A179A3 (3m)

• 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 (0,5m)

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.

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.
