Page 3: Introduction To The Icas And Icah Range Of In-Cell Amplifiers
Introduction to the ICAS and ICAH Range of In-Cell Amplifiers Two new families, the ICAS (industrial stability) and ICAH (high stability) have been introduced into the Mantracourt range of In-Cell Amplifiers. They offer improved performance and easier installation over the original designs. -

• ICA5 – 2 wire – 4 to 20mA • ICA6 - 3 wire – ±10V / 15-24V supply This manual only deals with Versions ICA3 and ICA6, separate manuals exist for versions ICA1 & 2, ICA4 and the ICA5. -
Page 5: Chapter 2 Installing The Ica3 And Ica6 S And H
If changing resistor ‘R’ do so at a workbench and not on site. Check the relevant details for model ICA3 or ICA6, – ensure the module matches the instructions – The ICA3 and ICA6 solder pads are as shown in the wiring diagrams: 4 pads for the strain gauge. -
Page 6: Power Connections
Power Connections The ICA3 requires a ±14V bipolar dc power supply within the limits of ±13V to ±15V. The ICA6 requires a 15 to 24V uni-polar dc power supply. Ideally this should be limited to +15V to +18V for 350 Ohm load cells to minimise the on-board temperature rise thereby reducing any warm-up time. -

RF interference. Output Connections The ICA3 and ICA6 S and H versions provide a ±10V output. Other bi-polar outputs can be configured by altering Resistor R. Connect the output as shown in Figures 2.2, 2.3 or alternatively Figure 2.4... -
Page 8: Chapter 3: Calculating The Gain Resistor Value
N.B If an output other than ± 10V is required e.g. ±5V then reduce the gain calculation in proportion i.e. for ±5 Volt Gain 40,000 Ohms (required mV/V) (Gain-1) e.g.1 For 2.5 mV/V Gain = 74.4x R = 545 Ohms (Use preferred value 549R E96) (Factory setting):- Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA3 & 6 S and H Versions User Manual... -
Page 9: Chapter 4 Calibration
Chapter 4 Calibration The ICA3 and ICA6 S and H versions can be calibrated with the transducer connected provided that two calibration points can be implemented e.g. by applying known weights or forces. If this is not possible, a stable mV source or load cell simulator can be used if the precise sensitivity (mV/V) of the transducer is known. -
Page 10: Chapter 6 Trouble Shooting
If the potentiometer does not alter the output the unit must be repaired – remove from service. It is always wise to check a known good ICA against the problem installation before rejecting the suspect ICA. Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA3 & 6 S and H Versions User Manual... -
Page 11: Chapter 7 Product Care
A worn out component, excessive use in harsh environments, an overly zealous operator; regrettably some circumstances necessitate repair. At Mantracourt Electronics Ltd we can't guarantee that a product will never require repairing. We can, however, promise a repair service of exceptional quality, one which is governed by a rigorous procedure. -

The Voltage or Current outputs are calibrated to be directly proportional to the Outputs input from the sensor. The output is, within the sensor limits, taken as linear and no linearity compensation is required within the ICA.
