Introduction
CMA A02559_04_YI0_01 HBM: public 11
4 Introduction
Piezoelectric charge amplifiers of the CMA type series are suitable for
measuring with piezoelectric sensors. The CMA amplifies the electric charges
to a proportional output signal of -10 …+10VDC (see manufacturing certificate
for accurate data). You can measure dynamic and quasi‐static forces with
great accuracy in this way.
SThe compact design amplifiers have good immunity from interference.
SYou can change the functions of the charge amplifier via the MEASURE /
RESET and RANGE 1 / RANGE 2 inputs.
SThe charge amplifier is fitted with a TEDS module (Transducer Electronic
Data Sheet).
SThe CMA5000/2 version allows you to connect two amplifiers in parallel
(one channel for both sensors).
In keeping with the choice of measuring range (RANGE 1/ RANGE 2), the valid
TEDS information for the particular measuring range is forwarded to the
downstream evaluating electronics, if they are TEDS‐compliant. The “High
Level Voltage" template is used, see Chapter 8.1, Page 21.

Introduction
12 A02559_04_YI0_01 HBM: public CMA
The specifications list the permissible limits for mechanical, thermal and
electrical stress. It is essential to take these limits into account when planning
the measuring set‐up, during installation and, ultimately, during operation.

Conditions on site
CMA A02559_04_YI0_01 HBM: public 13
5 Conditions on site
Important
The insulation resistance is crucial for piezoelectric transducers; it should be no
greater than 1013 ohms.
To obtain this value, all the plug connections have to be kept thoroughly clean.
A positive or negative signal drift of the output signal indicates insufficient
insulation resistance.
The plug connection contacts should therefore be cleaned with a clean,
lint‐free cloth (e.g. Non‐woven pad, HBM order no. 1-8402.0026) and
isopropanol, e.g. with IPA200 from RS Components. The cleaning agents used
to clean SG measuring points are not suitable!
See also Chapter 9 regarding piezoelectric measurement technology.
SProtect the device from direct contact with water.
SProtect the device from moisture and weather such as rain or snow. The
degree of protection according to DIN EN60529 is IP65 when all cables are
connected and unused connections are fitted with protective caps.
SDo not expose the device to direct sunlight
SThe device connection cables must only be installed inside buildings, and
must not exceed 30 m in length.
SThe temperature has little effect on the output signal, see also Chapter 9.4
“Thermal influences", Page 34.
5.1 Ambient temperature
The temperature has little effect on the output signal. Temperature‐related
measurement errors can be caused by cooling or heating on one side, e.g. by
radiant heat.

Conditions on site
14 A02559_04_YI0_01 HBM: public CMA
5.2 Moisture and humidity
Avoid moisture or a tropical climate. When the connection cable is properly
connected to a transducer and a charge amplifier, the degree of protection for
the charge amplifier is IP65 as per EN 60529.

Mounting
CMA A02559_04_YI0_01 HBM: public 15
6 Mounting
The charge amplifier can be mounted with two M3 bolts. The charge amplifier
can be mounted in any position.
The signal inputs and outputs are electrically isolated from the housing and the
CMA. So no isolating elements are necessary.

7 Electrical connection
Only high‐insulation connection cables that generate little friction electricity
during movement must be used for piezoelectric sensors. A charge cable in
rugged design with metal jacket is available for applications in highly
contaminated environments or for increased mechanical stresses.

The supply voltage, measurement signal, inputs and TEDS are connected to
the evaluating electronics via the 8‐pin M12 device plug.
The CMA1 to CMA2000 versions only have one input. Where necessary, use
the CSB4/1 summing box to connect up to four piezoelectric sensors in parallel
operation.
Notice
Tighten the swivel nut of the sensor cable with maximum 1.5Nm to prevent
damage to the connecting socket.
Two inputs are available on the CMA5000/2 and two sensors can be
connected. The sensors are switched in parallel electrically, i.e. the charges
are added. The following applies for the measurement result with force
sensors: The sum of the forces present at the sensors is measured. Switching

Electrical connection
CMA A02559_04_YI0_01 HBM: public 17
between measurements with sensor 1 and measurements with sensor 2 is not
possible as both sensors are always measured together.
Important
Fit the supplied cover if you only use one input on the CMA5000/2.
The CMA charge amplifier is designed for direct voltage operation (18 …
30VDC). The circuit is intended for operating with separated extra‐low voltage
(SELV circuit).
