CDM-VW300 Series Dynamic Vibrating-Wire Analyzers

vibrating-wire sensors operate equally well with either polarity position of the
two signal wires. Two coil connections (C) are provided on each channel on
the CDM-VW300 to which these leads are connected.

FIGURE 7-6. Three-wire vibrating-wire sensor connection

The third lead is the shield wire, or sensor ground, and should be connected to
the ground connection corresponding to the measurement channel.

FIGURE 7-7. Five-wire, vibrating-wire sensors leads

For sensors with five lead wires, three wires operate as described previously
for a three-wire configuration. The additional two leads are thermistor leads,
and, as illustrated in FIGURE 7-7 and FIGURE 7-8, can be wired to the
thermistor (T) channels on the analyzer.
