Operating Manual EMGZ 310 2 Quick Installation Guide In a Plug & Play configuration the set-up of the EMGZ310 and force sensor is limited to only the offset compensation and the calibration. 2.1 Preparations for Set-up 1. Read the Operation Manual of your force measuring sensors 2.
Operating Manual EMGZ310 and EMGZ310.ComACT 2.5 Block diagram Fig. 1: Block diagram EMGZ310 EMGZ310_BA_Manual.ai 2.6 Wiring the Amplifier One or two force sensors can be connected to the measuring amplifier. When using two force sensors, the output signal of the measuring amplifier will then correspond to the average value of the two sensors.
Operating Manual EMGZ 310 Caution Bad earth connection may cause electric shock to persons, malfunction of the total system or damage of the control unit. It is vital to ensure a proper earth ground connection. Note The shield should be connected only to the electronic unit. On the force sensor side the shield should stay open.
3 Configuring the Amplifier 3.1 Power up the EMGZ 310 1. Connect the first force sensor (see Fig.2 Wiring Diagram EMGZ310) 2. Check whether applying a force in measuring direction (in the direction of the red point) on the first sensor results in a positive output signal. If not, exchange the two signal wires of this force sensor in the terminal block (terminals 6/7).
