Chapter 4 Calibration

The ICA1 and ICA2 S and H versions 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 if the precise sensitivity (mV/V) of the transducer is known.
Figure 4.1 Connection Details for Calibration
1. Apply the known low calibration conditions (weight, force or mV/V). This may be zero if required, and set
the output to 0.1V using the 'Z' potentiometer.
2. Apply the known high calibration conditions (ideally between 75% and full scale) and adjust the 'S'
potentiometer to give an output of 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.
