The two-wire supply/output system allows use with long cables from the supply/monitor with a wide range of supply voltage and high noise immunity. In order to meet the primary impedance requirements of the S7TW, some RDP transducers are modified to TM202. Section 2.4 refers.

Certificate of EMC Conformity DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY RDP ELECTRONICS LTD. Grove Street Heath Town Wolverhampton West Midlands WV10 0PY United Kingdom We declare that the product described in this technical manual is manufactured by RDP Electronics Limited and performs in conformity to the following: The Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU The RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU R D Garbett...
Note 5 The body of the transducer and the S7TW case should be grounded. If the transducer fixing attachments to not provide a good ground, then a ground strap should be used.
If when connected, the phase of the amplifier output is not as required (for example, an inward moving armature causes a rising amplifier output when a falling output is required) then reversing the signal high and signal low wires will correct this. Fig. 3 Connection Schematic S7TW Case Terminal AMPLIFIER PCB Gland...
Some RDP transducers as standard have input impedance that is too low for use with the S7TW. To correct this, a modification is available (TM202) for these transducers. The modification code will be indicated on the transducer BUT if more than one modification is applied to the transducer, the code may not be TM202.
CONTROLS Please refer also to Fig. 1 for locations. The locations of all controls are also shown on the legend plate mounted on the PCB. Coarse Zero Switch The toggles or levers 1 to 6 of an 8-way DIL switch are used to inject varying amounts of offset into the output signal circuit.
(0.230/5) x 0.5 x 50=1.15V The standard excitation of the S7TW is 0.5V for mod 6 onward, as used in the calculations above. The following table shows the band of transducer full-scale output voltages appropriate to each of the 8 Gain Range Settings. For example, a transducer with a full-scale output of 1.15V would be correctly set as gain range 2.
SETTING UP PROCEDURE. Bipolar or Half-stroke Applications Connect the transducer and supply as shown in Section 2. Select the relevant gain range by setting the Coarse Span switch as shown in Section 3.4. Refer also to the transducer data to determine the input signal.
