Digital indicator Model 9163 Perform the following steps to carry out a calibration: Note: Before a calibration, connect all the sensors to the digital indicator. If all the sensors that are connected to the digital indicator during normal operation are not connected, measurement errors can arise in the calibration.

Model 9163 Digital indicator Set the potentiometer to the minimum value. This means that the potentiometer slider must sit in the position for the minimum voltage. If the input value is symmetrical, the slider must sit in the center position.
Digital indicator Model 9163 10.5.2 Strain gage sensors Note: If you are using a calibrator for calibration, set the parameter in the menu to "0". Otherwise the digital indicator signals an error The calibration procedure below is used to define the relationship between the electrical measurement signal from the connected strain gage sensor (-lower calibration value, upper calibration value) and the measurement that is to be displayed (lower scale value, upper scale value).

One can avoid these accuracy problems by using the standard solution of the 6-wire circuit, or by calibrating as a unit the 4-wire circuit as the complete measuring chain. In most applications, however, the 4-wire connection is quite adequate. Note: The type 9163 digital indicator only supports 4-wire technology. Page 128...

Model 9163 Digital indicator Press the [F] button briefly. If you have specified a calibrated strain gage sensor for this channel and the input range 40 mV (sensor class 28 or 29, see section8.1.1: "Configuring a main input" on page 69) you get directly back to If you have specified a strain gage sensor with a sensitivity of 1.5 to 4 mV/V for this channel (sensor class...
Digital indicator Model 9163 10.5.3 RTD (PT100) This passive sensor is made of platinum. The nominal resistance at a temperature of 0 °C equals 100 Ω. The mean temperature change between 0 °C and 100 °C equals 0.385 % / °C. The temperature values and the corresponding resistance values are specified in DIN EN 60751.

Model 9163 Digital indicator Press the [F] button briefly to confirm your selection. You are now at the parameter This parameter is used for the minimum resistance of the RTD. For a Pt100 this equals 18.52 Ω; it cannot be changed.
Digital indicator Model 9163 10.5.4 Thermocouple (TC) These active sensors are made of two wires of different metals or metal alloys fused together at one end. When the fused junction is heated, a thermal EMF is produced at the wire ends. The amplitude of the EMF depends on the type of metals used and the temperature difference between the measuring point and the reference junction.
