  • Page 6: Overview

    Sensotec’s Universal In-Line Amplifiers are housed in a small plastic package, which is connected between the transducer and a readout instrument. The Model U3W amplifier supplies a highly regulated bridge excitation volt- age for the transducer and converts the millivolt signal of the transducer to a 4-20mA signal.

    Chapter 2 INSTALLATION / SETUP 2.1 Wiring The Model U3W Universal In-Line Amplifier (Sensotec p/n 060-6827-03) can be powered from a 18 to 32 volt single voltage supply. The following diagrams show the wiring to the supply and readout. Cables should be stripped back 3 inches with the wires stripped and tinned 1/2 inch.

  • Page 12: Setup

    2.2 Setup Use the following procedure for setting up the excitation and the coarse gain: 1. Determine the EXCITATION VOLTAGE required by the transducer being used. 2. Set the EXCITATION SELECT JUMPER as shown below: (See Fig.1-1 for location of jumpers). 3.

    Step 4. Re-check zero and full scale (repeat steps 2 & 3.2 Using Shunt Calibration Sensotec transducers feature a calibration technique called shunt calibration. This method applies a known resistance across one leg of the transducer, which simu- lates an output as if a load or pressure was applied to the transducer.
