The new multi-channel cable technology from Kistler Instruments simplifies the installation of cavity pressure sensors in multi-cavity moulds. In the past, each sensor needed a separate cable to the charge amplifier making installation time consuming with the potential risk of incorrect connection. The Kistler single wire technology, introduced in late 2005, made installing sensors in multi-cavity moulds simpler and less costly. The new multi-channel cable system further simplifies installation by replacing multiple connections to the charge amplifier or analysis equipment with one or more eight-pin plug-in connectors.
With the new system, cables from up to eight sensors are brought to a single connector mounted on the mould from which a single multi-channel cable carries signals to the charge amplifier. Using a multi-pin connector eliminates the risk of connection mistakes and saves time during set-up. A new multi-channel, plug-in charge amplifier is available to compliment the multi-channel cable technology for use with all Kistler Unisens single wire sensors.
