BOUCHE LABS MODEL 2121F CHARGE AMPLIFIER

& MODEL 4121 POWER SUPPLY

BOUCHE LABS Model 2121F Charge Amplifier is low-priced and is used with piezoelectric transducers. The small overall dimensions and dc-power supply or battery operation is appropriate for use in the test laboratory or in the field.

An easy two step process is used for operation. First, dial the transducer sensitivity (1 to 1100 pC/g), second, select the gain switch position (1 to 10,000 mV/g.) Then the charge amplifier output is in mV/g.

Another attribute is the front panel switch for selecting a single-pole low-pass filter for suppressing resonances during shock tests.

The 2121F Charge Amplifier is supplied with +15 Vdc and -15 Vdc by the Bouche Labs Model 4121 ac-operated power supply. The power supply is capable of powering up to twenty Model 2120 series Bouche Labs charge amplifiers.
