  • Page 2: Introduction

    Figure 1.1. Offered in two versions, the COND SGA-A for 110/230V AC or 18-24V DC operation and the COND SGA-D which is DC powered only. Transducer SENSITIVITY of between 0.1 mV/V and 30 mV/V are possible. This is achieved by a combination of gain (span) DIP switches and associated fine adjustment by a potentiometer.
  • Page 3: Dimensions

    NOTE: Connect the appropriate power to the COND SGA. For AC powering observe the correct transformer jumper connections as shown in Figure 2.2 above. (This diagram is also provided inside the lid). COND SGA-A & SGA-D Manuel_EN Rev3.doc Page 3 on 20...
  • Page 4: Input (Sensor) Connections

    Do not run signal cable parallel to power cables. Cross such cables at right angles. The ground connection conductor should have sufficient cross-sectional area to ensure a low impedance path to attenuate RF interference. COND SGA-A & SGA-D Manuel_EN Rev3.doc Page 4 on 20 Rev: 03/08/2006...
  • Page 5: Output Connections

    Select this option by fitting the two jumpers, JP1 and JP2 to the ‘inside’ positions (See Figure 3.2) See Chapter 3 for Switch settings and details of SINK & SOURCE jumpers. COND SGA-A & SGA-D Manuel_EN Rev3.doc Page 5 on 20...

  • Page 7: Example :- 0-10 Volt Output With No Filter Required

    Important: Low pass filtering is switched into operation by setting SW4/6 ‘ON’↑ and SW4/7 ‘OFF’↓. Reverse these settings to bypass the filter. It should be noted that either one of these switches MUST be on but not BOTH COND SGA-A & SGA-D Manuel_EN Rev3.doc Page 7 on 20 Rev: 03/08/2006...

    Ranges 1 to 60 - from 0.06 mV/V to 30.30 mV/V ↑ = ON (1) ↓= OFF (0). SW1/8 switches on the shunt cal function – see Table 3.8 COND SGA-A & SGA-D Manuel_EN Rev3.doc Page 8 on 20 Rev: 03/08/2006...

    These settings allow the user to calibrate a zero offset. The range allows for up to 79% of the span. Potentiometer P2 provides fine adjustment. + ve Offset - ve Offset Table 3.9. COND SGA-A & SGA-D Manuel_EN Rev3.doc Page 10 on 20 Rev: 03/08/2006...

    Check the sensor is connected (typically reading 350 Ohm across output + & - of J2) with the power off. c) Check the Excitation voltage (J2) is at 10V DC COND SGA-A & SGA-D Manuel_EN Rev3.doc Page 13 on 20...
  • Page 14: High Output

    If the potentiometer does not alter the output the unit must be repaired – remove from service. It is always wise to check a known good COND COND SGA against the problem installation before rejecting the suspect COND COND SGA.

  • Page 15: Product Care

    A worn out component, excessive use in harsh environments, an overly zealous operator; regrettably some circumstances necessitate repair. At SENSY s.a., we can't guarantee that a product will never require repairing. We can, however, promise a repair service of exceptional quality, one which is governed by a rigorous procedure.
  • Page 16 The Voltage or Current outputs are calibrated to be directly proportional to the input from the sensor. The output is, within the sensor limits, taken as linear and no linearity compensation is required within the COND SGA. COND SGA-A & SGA-D Manuel_EN Rev3.doc Page 16 on 20 Rev: 03/08/2006...
