    N.B The voltage between either of the power supply connections and the load cell chassis should not exceed 50 V. Any leakage will be greater than 10 M ohms. Mantracourt Electronics Limited – ICA User Manual...
  • Page 5: Ica1H & Ica2H Connections

    ICA1H & ICA2H Connections The power supply for the ICA1H is nominally 24 V dc (between 13 and 28 V) and ICA2H is nominally 12 V dc (between 8.5 and 28 V).The power supply is commoned with the output at the ‘Com’ connection.

Mantracourt Electronics Limited – ICA User Manual...
  • Page 8 The ICA4H can be used with three wire cabling in both sink and source mode. The only difference between the two modes is whether the common end of the load is connected to the positive of the PSU (sink mode) or the negative of the PSU (source mode).

    ‘Z’ potentiometer (Zero), set the output to the relevant low level depending on the model e.g. 0.1 V for the ICA1H, 4 mA for the ICA4H etc. Apply the known high calibration conditions (ideally between 75% and full scale) and adjust the ‘S’...
  • Page 17: Chapter 5 Trouble Shooting

    Ensure you have the calibration set-up correctly installed i.e. mV source and output as required. d) Ensure the temperature and other environmental parameters are within specification and where necessary taken into account when calibrating should such parameters have an effect on the calibration. Mantracourt Electronics Limited – ICA User Manual...
  • Page 18 If the potentiometer does not alter the output the unit must be repaired – remove from service. c) It is always wise to check a known good ICA against the problem installation before rejecting the suspect ICA. Mantracourt Electronics Limited – ICA User Manual...
  • Page 19: Chapter 6 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.
