5 CONDITIONER–TRANSDUCER OPERATION

This section contains important information for the proper operation of the Veloce conditioner. It is

recommended to read this section before using the Veloce for the first time.

5.1 GAGE FACTOR

Each of Fiso fiber optic transducer is delivered with a Gage Factor specified on the storage box and on the

sensor itself, near the connector. This Gage Factor is used for all Fiso's line of signal conditioners to tell

the instrument the type of measurement and the conversion parameters related to the given fiber optic

sensor.

5.2 STRAIN GAGE – CONVERSION FACTOR

The Gage Factor for a strain gage has 7 digits that can be expressed as 1XSSSSS. The first digit of all

strain gages is usually equal to 1, but it may also be equal to 5 for temperature compensated strain gages.

The second digit (X) has no role to play other than to differentiate strain gages with similar gage length.

The last five digits (SSSSS) are representative of the gage length and thus of the sensitivity, herein

represented as

GL = 01407
