Portable Test Kit - Operating and Service Instructions
Thank you for buying the ElastiSense Portable Test Kit that operates togetherwith one or two of our
robust and resilient Electro-Active Polymer (EAP) based displacement sensors of the DS series
Connecting the parts of the kit
Up to two ElastiSense DS sensors are supported by the Portable Test Kit when connected to the Data
Acquisition Unit (DAU) by the connection cable DAU-DS (for each DS sensor that is ordered also one
connection cable CMB-DS (standard 3m) shall be ordered). Additional to that, the DAU must be
connectedto the 24 VDC power supply that is delivered as a part of the kit and to a Control Panel (=>
any Windows PC with XP SP3 or higher) over a standard USB cable that also is shipped with the kit. A
Software package that is used to control the DAU, extract measured data and to present and store
recorded data to a .txt file is a part of the basic kit package as well. This control software comeswith
the kit on a USB stick.
In figure 1. the parts of the systemare shown together with the connections between them in the
maximal configuration with two sensors.
