Introduction to the ICAS and ICAH Range of In-Cell Amplifiers Two new families, the ICAS (industrial stability) and ICAH (high stability) have been introduced into the Mantracourt range of In-Cell Amplifiers. They offer improved performance and easier installation over the original designs.
Similarly transducer ZERO can be compensated for in the module. This adjustment is to compensate for slight errors in the strain gauge and not to offset tare. Mantracourt’s SGA (Strain Gauge Amplifier) covers a range from 0.06 mV/V to 30mV/V and it’s 79% offset can provide tare compensation.
The power supply for the ICA1 is nominally 24V dc (between 13 and 28V) and ICA2 is nominally 12V dc (between 8.5 and 28V).The power supply is commoned with the output at the ‘com’ connection. Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA1 and ICA2 S and H Versions User Manual...

Take note of the grounding arrangement particularly the bolt hole which capacitively couples the common of the ICA electronics to the strain elements in the load cell which improves the EMC performance. Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA1 and ICA2 S and H Versions User Manual...
The ICA1 S and H versions provide a 0.1 to 10.1V dc output, while the ICA2 S and H versions provide a 0.1 to 5.1V dc output. While they utilize the same PCB they have different components on board. Connect the output as shown in Figure 2.2 or alternatively Figure 2.3 Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA1 and ICA2 S and H Versions User Manual...
Gain = 372 x R= 107.8 Ohms (Use preferred value 107R E96) e.g. 3 For 5.0 mV/V Gain = 37.2 x R= 1105 Ohms (Use preferred value 1K1) Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA1 and ICA2 S and H Versions User Manual...
10.1V for the ICA1 and 5.1V for the ICA2. 3. Apply the known low calibration conditions and re-adjust the Zero if required. Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA1 and ICA2 S and H Versions User Manual...
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 ICA against the problem installation before rejecting the suspect ICA. Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA1 and ICA2 S and H Versions User Manual...
A worn out component, excessive use in harsh environments, an overly zealous operator; regrettably some circumstances necessitate repair. At Mantracourt Electronics Ltd 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.
The Voltage or Current outputs are calibrated to be directly proportional to the Outputs input from the sensor. The output is, within the sensor limits, taken as linear and no linearity compensation is required within the ICA. Mantracourt Electronics Limited ICA1 and ICA2 S and H Versions User Manual...
