Safety
Read this manual in its entirety before operating the Model 123 Signal Conditioner. Read all wiring and power
hookup instructions and understand the requirements prior to using another m
anufacturer's products with the
Model 123
safety and operational standards before operating.
The following symbols and terms may be found on the Model 123 and its manuals and indicate important
information.
When found on the device, this symbol indicates that the operator should refer to the manual f or
important instructions on the proper use of this device. When found in the manual, t his sy m bol
indicates that the reader should understand the i m pl ications contained in the text before operating
the device.
This symbol indicates that a shock hazard may be present. Read the instruction manual careful l y
and insure that the device is wired properly and that all settings have been checked prior to applying
power to the device.
The WARNING label indicates important information that should be heeded for safe and proper performance
of the device.

followed.
Disassembling the Instrument
Turn Input Power Switch OFF before removing po wer cable from the instrument.
Remove power cable from instrument before disassembling any part of the instrument.
Grounding
To avoid electrical shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must be
connected to power ground.
Fuse Replacement
For continued fire protection, replace fuse only with the specific type and rating by
qualified personnel (Reference Manual "Rear Panel" section). Disconnect the power
cord before replacing fuse.
. Insure that any product being interfaced wi th the Model 123 is wired according to prevailing local

Description
The Model 123 is a new microprocessor controlled 3-Channel Signal Conditioner for Piezoelectric (PE) or
Integrated Electronic Piezoelectric (IEPE) sensors. The Model 123 incorporates a charge amplifier when
used with PE sensors. An integral 0, 4, or 10mA, user selectable, current source with 20Vdc compliance
voltage is utilized with IEPE sensors. A user friendly interface allows programming Input Sensitivity and
Output Sensitivity, then allowing the instrument to calculate the amplifier gain. All gain selections are
stored in non-volatile memory and reinitialized when power is applied. Gain can also be entered directly
if desired.
Model 123 utilizes a microprocessor SLEEP mode to eliminate high frequency clock noise and their
The
associated harmonics. The microprocessor WAKES momentarily to acknowledge front panel switch
depressions, then goes to SLEEP immediately after processing and executing the requested function.
This allows the amplifiers to operate with minimum self generated noise and provides clean, clock free
amplified signals. The Model 123 also uses low noise linear voltage regulators instead of switching
regulators to minimize interference.
The Model 123 uses 12 bit DACs, for each channel, to set amplifier gains from 0.00 to 999.9 with 0.5%
precision. Amplifier gains can be changed “on the fly ” without damage to the instrument.
odel 123 provides 1.5Hz to 230 kHz broadband frequency response, with optional plug-in, 4-pole

rear panel voltage selector switch allows selection of 100, 115 or 230 Vac, 50-60Hz, input power.
Model 123 is designed for CE compliance for EMC emissions and immunity and for Product Saf ety.
Model 123 is directly compatible with Endev co’s line of PE and IEPE transducers.
