8. of the transducer The measurement range is from 10 ohms to 5 megohms Piezoelectric transducers that are not transformer coupled should indicate gt 5 Megs of leakage after a few seconds Transformer coupled transducers usually have only a few ohms of resistance and the LCD will indicate lt 10 Ohms 4 HOW IT WORKS The TT 2D sends a signal through a 100 ohm resistor to the transducer under test The voltage waveform at the transducer is sampled at three specific points per cycle The relationship of the voltages at the sample points determine the impedance and relative phase of the voltage across the transducer The impedance Zo is calculated and displayed over the range of 1 to 9990 ohms and the relative phase shift is displayed to the right of the impedance reading A plus sign voltage leads current indicates an inductive load and a minus sign voltage lags current indicates a capacitive load The numbers following the polarity sign range from O to 30 with the higher numbers indicating a higher reactance 5 CALIBRATION Calibration of the TT 2D should not be necessary unless repairs have been made or internal parts have been changed The calibration is done with the output short circuited The TT 2D is then checked with a 100 ohm and 1000 ohm resistor across the output to see if the displayed readings are within specifications The equipment required to check the TT 2D calibration follows 5 01 01 Frequency counter

10. play for the lowest Zo indication The phase indication will usually be near zero when the impedance is at a minimum 3 01 SORTING OUT MULTIPLE RESONANCE POINTS Most transducers you test will have three major resonance points A major resonance point has a significant peak in the resonance indicator and a low impedance over a narrow frequency range The problem is to determine the correct resonant point This will usually be the frequency where the most power is transferred from the face of the transducer Check the energy transfer at each resonant point by pressing on the center of the transducer face with a fingertip while observing the impedance displayed on the top line of the LCD The readings will change noticeably with moderate finger pressure The resonant point that produces the most pronounced change of impedance is usually BUT NOT ALWAYS the correct operating frequency for the transducer TT 2D User Manual EDI P N 700 013A Page 3 3 02 MEASURING TRANSDUCER IMPEDANCE The transducer impedance at series resonance is indicated on the upper left of the LCD The relative phase angle is displayed in the upper right of the LCD A negative sign indicates the load looks capacitive to the TT 2D and a positive sign indicates the load is inductive The lowest impedance reading will usually occur when the relative phase angle displayed is close to zero 3 03 TRANSDUCER DC RESISTANCE Press ad release button A to check the resistance
