Manual Display Unit AE 703 Scope of use The handheld device displays forces or loads sensed by strain gauge load cells. It must not be used as the only device for safety relevant measurements. Operation The battery operated device supplies a stabilized excitation voltage for a strain gauge full bridge.
Manual Display Unit AE 703 Power supply The display can be powered either by: 3 batteries AA (HR6 Mignon) or 3 rechargeable batteries of the same size (1,2V) or USB power supply (battery display indicates full battery) or ...
Manual Display Unit AE 703 Display When switching on the instrument, the disply will start shwoing the sensor information (this example shows a TEDS-M sensor with 100N nominal load and its serial number connected) After app. 2 seconds the display will show the measure value (here with a sensor KAM/1kN)

Manual Display Unit AE 703 Setting up Ranges General A range (channel) is stored as a set of parameter per sensor. It can be identified by a name displayed on top of the display. There is no connection between two ranges. If more then one range is defined the user needs to choose the range related to the used sensor.

Manual Display Unit AE 703 Calibration by load (Calibration) (only with force transducers without TEDS/ TEDS-M) The calibration is carried out by means of a known load for the current range. The calibration with a strain gage simulator is possible too. The calibration always uses the base unit. The first calibration point is zero load, the second point.

Manual Display Unit AE 703 Delete calibration To delete a Range the calibration must be deleted beforehand. After deletion of a calibration, zero and Sensitivity stay unaffected. The unit still displays correctly. Potential calibration point in between zero and related load (linearization points) will be removed.
Software ASTAS only. Please note the following peculiarities: As long as a TEDS/ TEDS-M sensor is connected to the AE 703 all other ranges of the AE 703 are not accessible. A TEDS/ TEDS-M sensor can only store a two points calibration, a TEDS-M sensor can store a...
