CHECKING
1) Terminal wiring: Check that all cables are correctly con-
nected according to the connection diagram.
2) Power input voltage: Check voltage across the terminal
10 – 11 with a multimeter.
3) Strain gauge: Check the bridge resistance. The maxi-
mum current supplied to the strain gauge is 45 mA.
4) Input: With the maximum load applied, check that volt-
age across the terminals 4 (+) – 5 (–) equals [Exc. × Strain
Gauge Sensitivity].
5) Output: Check that the load resistance meets the de-
scribed specifications.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
This unit is calibrated at the factory to meet the ordered
specifications, therefore you usually do not need any cali-
bration.
For matching the signal to a receiving instrument or in case
of regular calibration, adjust the output as explained in the
following.
■ HOW TO CALIBRATE THE OUTPUT SIGNAL
Use a signal source and measuring instruments of sufficient
accuracy level. Turn the power supply on and warm up for
more than 10 minutes.
1) ZERO: Apply 0% input and adjust output to 0%.
2) SPAN: Apply 100% input and adjust output to 100%.
3) Check ZERO adjustment again with 0% input.
4) When ZERO value is changed, repeat the above proce-
dure 1) – 3).
5) Go through the same procedure for the output 2.
Calibration for the output 1 affects the output 2. Check
the output 2 whenever the output 1 is adjusted.

MAINTENANCE
Regular calibration procedure is explained below:
■ CALIBRATION
Warm up the unit for at least 10 minutes. Apply 0%, 25%,
50%, 75% and 100% input signal. Check that the output
signal for the respective input signal remains within accu-
racy described in the data sheet. When the output is out of
tolerance, recalibrate the unit according to the "ADJUST-
MENT PROCEDURE" explained earlier.
LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTION
