  • Page 2: Introduction

    The COND-SGA provides a wide range of signal conditioning for Strain Gauges, Load Cells, Pressure and Torque transducers. Offered in two versions, the COND-SGA-A for 110/230 V AC or 18-24 V DC operation and the COND-SGA-D which is DC powered only.
  • Page 3: Installation

    5 W (approx. 150 mA fully loaded) NOTE: The COND-SGA-A can be powered from AC or DC sources whichever is available. It is also possible to connect BOTH AC and DC simultaneously for security of power supply. MA-COND SGA-A & SGA-D_EN.docx...
  • Page 4: Input Connection

    The power supply should be capable of supplying at least 1 A for 12 V installations and 0.5 V for 24 V. Connections to the COND-SGA-A & COND-SGA-D input/output signal and the power supply are made via 2.5 mm² field terminal connectors.
  • Page 5: Switch Settings

    In ‘Sink’ mode the positive end of the load is connected to the internal +15 V supply on the COND-SGA and the negative end is connected to the COND-SGA output. The current through the load is ‘sunk’ by the COND-SGA towards ground (0 V). In this mode neither connection to the output load is electrically common to the load cell.

    78%. Fine adjustment is provided by potentiometer P2 (±1.25%, and ±79% for both). CALIBRATION The COND-SGA-A & COND-SGA-D provides the excitation supply and signal conditioning to cater for a wide range of strain gauges, load cells, pressure transducers or torque transducers.
  • Page 10: Output

    1.20 mV/V SW1 = [0010] [000] The COND-SGA-A & COND-SGA-D can be calibrated with the transducer connected, provided that two calibration points can be implemented, e.g. by applying known weights or forces. If this is not possible, a stable mV source or load cell simulator can be used provided that the precise sensitivity (mV/V) and full range output (kg) of the transducer is known.
  • Page 11 The ‘Ref (5 V/2.5 V)’ should be connected to ‘Strain Input-’ and the mV source applied between ‘Strain Input+’ & ‘Strain Input-’. Set the correct switch settings on SW1 as described above using the transducer's calibration sheet supplied by the manufacturer.
