B+Input Specifications
Input Signals
A 2-milliampere, 20-volt (nominal), constant-current power supply inside
the analyzer powers sensors such as accelerometers. Depending upon the
type of input selected, the constant-current power supply can be made
available or bypassed.
Full Scale Input Level
Channel A Channel B
Sensor Power “On” | +/- 9 volts +/- 3.75 volts
Sensor Power “Off” |+/- 21 volts | +/- 3.75 volts
The full-scale vibration level depends upon the type of sensor used and its
sensitivity, Full-scale vibration level is +/- 90 g’s when using a 100-millivolt-
per-g accelerometer. For small signals, full-scale range is lowered in binary
steps from 1 to 1024 for improved signal-to-noise ratio. Selection of proper
full-scale range occurs automatically at the beginning of every analysis and
is called “autoranging.”

The Model 2120A calculates the integration or differentiation necessary to
convert from sensor units to other units for display purposes. The Model
2120A uses analog integration circuitry for conversions from acceleration
to velocity or displacement
Tachometer Input
‘The tachometer input measures a once-per-rev pulse. This capability lets
the analyzer measure RPM and synchronous vibration and phase
RPM range: 6 to 100,000 RPM
Tach input level: TTL compatible (0 to +5 volt pulse)
Triaxial Sensor Input
‘Top panel multifunction input connector allows direct connection and
sequencing of triaxial signal.
Autoranging,
‘The Model 2120A automatically scans the input signal for each measure-
ment. The analyzer sets the input range to maximize the dynamic resolu-
tion.
