    ETUP Unpacking Remove the packing list and verify that you have received all equipment. If you have any questions, contact the Customer Service Department nearest you. Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any signs of damage. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit.
  • Page 6: Features

    ETUP General Description (continued) It has two internal reference voltages for powering the bridge. The 1.24 Volt reference is used with the 1K Ohm bridge and below whereas the 2.5 Volt with the 2.5K/5K Ohm bridges and above. Failure to properly select the excitation voltage can result in the calibrator drawing excessive current.

    NSTALLATION AND PERATION 3.5 Transducer Hookup Connect the transducer to the calibrator using the binding post connectors shown in Figure 3.1. Observe proper color coding as shown on the Transducer Information Sheet provided with your transducer. Allow the transducer to warm up for a few minutes, to stabilize the drift.

  • Page 18 & G ALIBRATION ELECTION The sensitivities increase in 10% increments. The SPAN POT range is ±10% which should cover the entire sensitivity range from 0.5 to 4.0 mV/V. Two extra through-hole resistor locations R4, R5 and one surface mount resistor, R7 are available for covering any sensitivity value not covered by resistors in the tables above.
  • Page 19: Customized Scaling Procedure

    USTOMIZED CALING ROCEDURE 5.1 CUSTOM SCALING PROCEDURE Use this procedure if you desire to scale your Strain Guage Indicator with other than the standard default scaling of 1999 counts equaling a full-scale reading. Determine the full-scale reading you desire in terms of counts. This must be between 0 and 1999 counts.
  • Page 20 USTOMIZED CALING ROCEDURE Look up the gain value calculated in step 5 and find the closest gain value in Table 5.1. (If the value of gain required is not contained in Table 5.1, skip to step 14) Read across the table to find the gain desired and the gain switch settings necessary to give you that value.
  • Page 21 USTOMIZED CALING ROCEDURE ALTERNATE PROCEDURE FOR GAINS OUTSIDE OF TABLE 5.1 RANGE 14 Use this procedure if the gain value calculated in step 5 is not contained within Table 5.1. 15 Insert the result of step 5 into the following formula: 60,000 Rgain (ohms) = (step 5 result - 4)
