CAUTION Refers to hazards that could damage the instrument. NOTE Indicates tips, recommendations and important information. The notes simplify processes and contain additional information on particular operating steps. The following symbols may be found on the equipment described in this manual: This symbol on the unit indicates that high voltage may be present.
Model 480C02 & model 480E09 are rugged, portable, power sources for ICP sensors. These models are nearly identical except model 480C02 is unity gain 1:1 only with no adjustment, while model 480E09 has the additional feature of 3-position gain adjustment (1/10/100). They are powered internally by three replaceable batteries and ®...
Figure 2: Model 480E09 Signal Conditioner Description Models 480C02 / 480E09 contain three, PP3 size, 9 volt batteries connected in series to provide DC power to internal electronics which provide regulation for approximately 2.6 mA of constant current power. Connections ®...
Some sensors use a 5 volt excitation and in this case the meter will read at the lower edge of the green region. 2.6 mA 480E09 Only Figure 3: Models 480C02 / 480E09 Signal Conditioner Schematic MANUAL NUMBER: 19175 MANUAL REVISION: A PAGE 5...

If the sensor amplifier and/or cable are damaged to short open, the meter will indicate in the full scale (yellow) area. Should the sensor amplifier and/or cable be damaged to short closed, the meter will indicate zero volts (red area). Immediately after connecting readout instrument, (oscilloscope, meter, recorder, etc.) to the output jack, the 47 F coupling capacitor will begin charging through the internal resistor and input resistance of the readout instrument.

DC Coupling for Low-Frequency Response With the 480C02 / 480E09 connected as shown in Figure 5, the low frequency response of the coupling circuit is determined by the relationship in Equation 2. This requires use of a BNC Tee. Figure 6 below provides a comparison of AC vs DC coupling the same signal.
Performance Limits Output Voltage Limits Certain ICP sensors are capable of 10-volt output voltage swing. Models 480C02 / 480E09 with 27 volt supply will allow the positive-going side of the signal to go to +14 volts. The negative signal side is capable of -8 volts assuming a 10 volt turn-on for the sensor.
Rechargeable Battery Use & Charging WARNING, models 480C02 / 480E09 do not ship with rechargeable batteries and PCB external battery chargers are suitable for use with Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) rechargeable batteries only. It should not be used with alkaline or other non-rechargeable batteries.
