    MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 2-3. Input Fault Detection These models monitor two input fault conditions; “short” and “open,” which indicate problems with sensor input and is displayed through the front panel LEDs. Either case implies that the sensor is NOT functioning properly. An input is shorted when it has a ground path for the sensor excitation and open when the sensor fails to draw the excitation.

  • Page 15: 2-5.1. Programmable Gain

    The 483C30 and 482M179 models have the capability to provide signal conditioning for charge mode sensors in addition to the standard ICP® type. The sensitivity (mV/ pC) of the charge conversion will allow charge mode sensors (pC/ unit) to be normalized.

  • Page 16: 2-7.1. Autoscaling

    The rear panel also includes eight BNC jack input connectors that are used for all input modes. For the models 483C30, 482M179 and 483M217, there is an additional 10-32 jack connector, also located on the rear panel, which are used for external calibration input signals.

    MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 2-9. Non-Volatile Memory This feature provides a mechanism to save and restore a programmed configuration. The programmable settings are saved when the unit receives a SAVS command and restored when the unit powers up. The unit’s non-volatile memory may be reset to the factory default settings by using the RSET Command.
