Internal Reference Setup If internal reference option is installed in the 8810A; on the main screen, select the Int Ref button and the setup screen for the internal reference will be displayed as shown below: Figure 4 – Internal Reference Setup Set the internal reference generator voltage and frequency parameters, using the setup screens shown above.
Channel 1 to Course and Channel 2 to Combined. Angle Difference The Channel 2 input signal is shown on the 8810A when the angle difference mode is disabled. The angle data value is displayed in yellow.
General Programming / Options selecting The 8810A may be remote programmed through a USB port, an Ethernet port, an IEEE-488 port or the J1 connector. The main setup screen for remote programming is shown above. The sections below show the setup for each mode.
Ethernet configuration for your network. Once entered, hit set and unit returns to main display. Modification of the Ethernet port is accomplished by selecting the Ethernet address button and entering a valid IP address, the Submask and Gateway address for your Ethernet network. The Ethernet Port used by the 8810A is always Port 23. Note:...
Setup Menus The 8810A setup menu accesses many of the features of the API and allows the user to easily configure it through the front panel. The setup menu is accessed by pressing the Setup button at the top of the main display screen.
Figure 14 – Factory Setting A sample of the Custom Settings Screen is shown below. The 8810A also contains the ability for the user to assign up to 10 custom configurations. These parameters include the settings for reference source, reference voltage, reference frequency and Synchro / Resolver configuration.
Shown above are examples of the Help Menu screens. The help menu gives things such as specification summaries, descriptions of available buttons and descriptions of available functions included with the 8810A. The Help Menu screen shows the unit’s serial number, date code, MAC address, model information and firmware revision.
Bandwidth” or user preferred BW selection is possible as follows: Auto-Bandwidth – The 8810A measures the reference frequency and then sets the BW to 12.5% of the ref. frequency. The calculated BW will not exceed 100 Hz or be set below 6 Hz. This setting is the optimum for best compromise between response / settling time and stability (Jitter of the lower LSB’s.) When this mode is selected the display...
The 8810A includes a built-in strip chart feature which displays the angle readings in the form of a strip chart. Below is a sample of the screen displayed Figure 22 – Strip Chart Feature The configure menu is shown in Figure 23. This menu allows the strip chart to be configured for the following parameters: •...
Figure 24 – Angle Averaging The 8810A has a feature which configures the API to test for angles that exceed a set Limit or Error Threshold. To access this feature select the limit/threshold button (shown below left). The alarm image is displayed if the angle exceeds the preset limit or threshold.
Optional “High Accuracy” unit ±0.0015° (See Detail Accuracy Specifications) Add “R” for an internal programmable 6 VA Reference Generator NOTE: The Model 8810A is CE Compliant CCESSORIES Included with the 8810A is an accessory kit NAI part number 8810A-ACCESSORY-KIT.

Calibration Verification The model 8810A should have its calibration verified on an annual basis. Factory Calibration service is available on request. If the instrument fails to meet its accuracy, it must be repaired. All repair actions can only be performed by the Factory.
The design of the model 8810A is such that AC power is continuously supplied to the power supply independent of the front panel ON/OFF Switch. The primary means of disconnect is pulling the line cord from the instrument. This requires that the line cord must be kept accessible for disconnect.
For safety from electrical shock and fire the unit must be connected to Safety (Earth) ground through the power line cord. IMPROPER USAGE If the model 8810A is installed or used in a manner not specified, safety may be impaired. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Contact your local Sales Representative for any technical assistance.

During this range change calibration, the unit will display the “calibrating channel” process and deliver an “invalid” output angle measurement. When the API is programmed for 8810A native language, the unit will respond to remote commands with “999.9999”, indicating the unit is calibrating. When the API is programmed for 8810 Legacy languages, the unit will respond to remote commands with “ERROR”, indicating the unit is calibrating.
Purpose: This addendum documents a product improvement. Several additions to the operational control of the 8810A have been added to incorporate customer suggestions. The product improvements/additions to the operational control panels are as follows: 1. Addition of analog display mode.
