AMSY-6 can be used to detect, measure and locate AE-sources such as material failure on microscopic level, corrosion, leakage, partial discharge, friction and wear as well as particle impact. A measurement channel consists of an AE-sensor (see section 5), a preamplifier (see section 4) and one channel of an ASIP-2 (dual channel acoustic signal processor, see section 3).

5 ASIP-2 boards are mounted in a chassis which is connected via an USB interface to a PC. Up to eight chassis can be paralleld on the USB hub. Each chassis has various interfaces, which are described in section and Additionally an AMSY-6 may have up to 16 parametric channels (PaX; see section ) for measuring environmental conditions such as temperature, load, humidity, wind speed, etc. The System front-end (see section 8) is running on a PC (see section 7). It controls and initializes the measurement System and stores the results. The analysis software VisualAE, VisualTR and VisualClass can be operated on-line to achieve an on-line measurement and analysis System .

6 Up to 8 chassis can be interconnected in a multi chassis setup. The chassis with the lowest address setting acts as master chassis. All other chassis are considered slave chassis. Chassis are available in a standalone version, abbreviated MBx-V1 or EB21-V1 and a rack mountable version abbreviated MR19-V1 or ER19-V1 if they support USB Chassis that support USB are abbreviated MBx, EB21, MR19 and ER19. Both chassis types can be used in a multi chassis setup. Sizes and weights Figure 2: MB2-V1, MB6-V1 and MB19-V1 chassis with 4, 12 and 38 AE-channels, respectively. A chassis is available in different sizes identified by the chassis codes. Chassis Code Size in cm (width x height x depth) Max.

7 For easy mounting and stability reasons slides/rails in the rack must be used (not part of chassis delivery). The chassis is placed on this rail and fixed with front screws. The rack must be open at front and rear to allow for free flow of cooling air. The power switch at the rear of the chassis must be accessible. The chassis needs a height of 4 rack units (177,8 mm), a width of 84 pitch units (426,7 mm) and a depth of 506 mm. We recommend to consider 1-2 additional rack units as free cable place in case you want to run the cables to the preamplifiers from the front connectors to the rear.
