Meter Type 1-117-0105 is 10K ohms, and all Consoli-

formula:
are rated in terms of operation into a 10K + 500 ohm
load. If vibration transducers rated for load imped-
where:
ances other than 10K ohms are used, it is necessary
to calculate the "corrected sensitivity."
S = the sensitivity rating, expressed as
"millivolts per inch per second"
a. Sample calculation when vibration transducer
E = millivolts, i.e., (volts divided by 1000)
V = velocity in inches per second
Sample No. 1: With S1 known to be 62 millivolts
The sensitivity rating, S, is given in consistent units,
per inch per second and R1 known to be 925 ohms,
i.e., if the input velocity is given in average inches/
and using equation
corrected
second, it may be multiplied by S to obtain average
millivolts output; if the input is given in RMS inches/
sensitivity, the following sample calculation is given:
second, it may be multiplied by S to obtain RMS
millivolts output, etc.
