Page 6: Description
SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL DESCRIPTION The Series 8159 is a microprocessor-based digital indicator capable of interfacing directly to low level strain gage transducers. An internal, high gain, fully differential amplifier and a 4-½ digit analog-to-digital converter combine to accurately digitize the input signal. A 5V @ 60mA or 10V @ 120mA, short circuit protected, transducer excitation supply is also provided. -

SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL WIRING Reference Figures 4 and 5 for TRANSDUCER and INPUT/OUTPUT (I/O) wiring information. Power is applied with a 3-prong AC power cord. The instrument is protected by a 250V, 250mA fast acting 5mm fuse. The fuse holder is an integral part of the input power connector. A spare fuse is provided in the fuse holder. - Page 9 SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL Figure 5 - Input/Output (I/O) Wiring...

Page 12: Switch Definition
SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL SWITCH DEFINITIONS Mode Selection Switch (S1) S1 is used to cycle through the various set points, Hysteresis, and calibration values and decimal point locations. The sequence is as follows. The designators, in parenthesis, identify text that will be displayed, momentarily, followed by the value. -
Page 13: Function Definitions
SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL Decrement Switch (S3) This switch serves two functions, depending on the present status of S1. If the instrument is in the Mode Selection sequence, this switch will decrement the flashing digit. If the instrument is in its operating mode, S3 becomes an AUTO CAL switch. CAUTION: Depressing this switch will cause the instrument to recalibrate its full-scale reading. -
Page 14: Operating Instructions
SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL Set Point Low 2 (SPL2) SPL2 is independent and functions identically to SPL1. SPL2 has its own relay contact outputs and front panel LED (L2). Hysteresis High (HH) HH is the hysteresis value for SPH1 and SPH2. The hysteresis value determines the number of counts the displayed reading must fall below SPH1 and SPH2 values before deactivating their respective relays and LEDs. - Page 15 SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS Four front panel switches (S1, S2, S3, S4) allow the user to program Set Point, Hysteresis, Calibration Number (CAL) and Decimal Points and monitor minimum, maximum or real time values. 1. Depress MODE (S1) switch once. The text SPH1 followed by the current value of Set Point High 1 (SPH1) will be displayed.

SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL REMOTE TARE (ZERO) Remote zero will tare out any residual value, such as that caused by fixturing a load cell into a test stand. It is activated by momentarily connecting pin 14 to pin 5 on the 15-pin I/O connector REMOTE REBOOT This feature is used to clear the high or low set points if required. - Page 17 SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL 8. With no load on the transducer, verify the instrument reading is low. 9. Depress the INCREMENT (S2) switch and hold until the TARE LED illuminates. The readout should be ZERO +/- 1 digit. 10. Apply the FULL SCALE load to the transducer. If a strain gage simulator is used, set it to the desired mV/V setting.
- Page 18 SERIES 8159 SIGNAL CONDITIONER MANUAL 4. Set the CAL NUMBER to the full-scale value provided with the RCAL resistor. This is the shunt calibration valve indicated on the sensor’s calibration certificate. Example: If the RCAL resistor supplied with the instrument creates an output equivalent to 80% of a full-scale 500-pound load, set the CAL NUMBER to 400.00, 0400.0 or 00400.
