Forwards Thank you very much for your purchasing Minebea's Transmitter CSA-521. This manual explains installation procedures and connecting method and also operating method for the Transmitter CSA-521. Make use of it properly after reading through the manual carefully. Moreover, the end user should keep the manual at hand.
For safe operation Be sure to read these senstences before use. 1. Installation place Notice Use the instrument where the temperature/humidity specifies with the range as follows: Environmental temperature:-10 ℃ to 50 ℃ ● Environmental humidity:Less than 85 %RH (Non condensing.) ●...

② Installation Warning When installing the instrument, install as referring to the following figures and secure the space around the instrument. Each dimensions of the instrument and required dimensions for the environmental spaces are as follows: Height of parts 15 at maximum 4-φ3.5 Side Face of parts...
Before supplying the power, check that the indication of power supply voltage and its specifications for the instrument and the power going to supply should be the same. If they are not equal, contact with Minebea. If you use the instrument without checking it, that may cause a damage in the instrument or electric shock to the operator.

⑩ ZERO fine adjustment trimmer for Fz axis The trimmer for fine adjustment on zero point of Fz axis. ⑪ ZERO coarse adjustment trimmer for Fz axis The trimmer for coarse adjustment on zero point of Fz axis. ⑫ Terminal board for power supply Make connection with DC power supply and a grounding wire.
2-2. Notes related with connection ● When connecting, be sure to make it with the power supply OFF. ● Never turn on electricity until the installation has completed. ● Separate the cable to connect with the instrument from the noise sources such as power supply lines and/or I/O lines for control as much as possible.
2-4.Connection with power supply and the earth Connections with the power supply and the earth should be made as follows: Grounding should be the D class with single earth. Power supply voltage DC24 V (Allowable variable range: DC18 V to DC36 V) Current consumption Approx: 100 mA D class single earth...
2-5.Connection with analog output The connections with voltage output shall be made as the following figure. Fz voltage output V ・DC0 V to DC±5 V ・Load resistance is more シールド Shield than 2kΩ. Fy voltage output V ・DC0 V to DC±5 V ・...
3.Calibration 3-1.Calibration method Load calibration methods for the instrument are two as follows: ① Calibration with the actual load ② Calibration with CALIB inputs Notice ● Before using a new instrument or after exchanging the strain gage applied vector sensor with a new one, be sure to make calibration. If calibration is not made, correct measured results may not be obtained, or it may cause malfunction to the instrument and it may damage the peripheral equipment.
3-2. Calibration procedures 3-2-1.Calibration with actual load Step 1 Connect the instrument with a strain gage applied vector sensor. Connection with a strain gage applied vector sensor After feeding power, turn on Step 2 To stabilize the instrument and a strain gage applied vector sensor, electricity for 20 minutes.

In due course, the voltage output value during the CALIB SW ON Check on ZERO point can be adjusted to 3.261 V with the GAIN adjustment trimmer. Step 5 Press on the CALIB SW. Check that the voltage output value becomes 0.000 V. If not, return to the step 3.
4.Function and operation 4-1.Range of ZERO adjustment With the ZERO coarse adjustment trimmer and the ZERO fine adjustment trimmer, the zero point can be varied. Variable ranges with ZERO coarse Variable ranges with ZERO fine adjustment Axis adjustment trimmer trimmer Fx axis -3 000 μst~3 000 μst -300 μst~300 μst...
When abnormal point(s) is/are found during the operation of the instrument, check by the following procedures. However, when you can't find applicable item nor solve the symptom of trouble even after you have taken some measures, contact Minebea. Supply power, again.
