    Maintenance and Repair It is not recommended that repair of the 482C16 be attempted in the field. Should trouble occur, contact the factory for assistance. If the unit becomes dusty and dirty, it may be wiped off with a soft cloth.

  • Page 16: Submenu Format And Command Selections

    1) Gain Functionality – Includes five menu selections The following menu options all pertain to how the gain functionality operates in the 482C16. Gain Type (GType on front panel): Allows the user to choose how the gain of each channel can be set. The selections in the submenu are Gain and Normalize (Gain is the factory default setting).
  • Page 17 0010.0 The 482C16 has the ability to automatically normalize the output sensitivity of each channel based on the sensitivity of the sensor (SENS), the full scale value of the input (FSIN) in engineering units (g’s for example) and the full scale output (FSOT) of the amplifier expressed in volts (this is the output that a signal at an FSIN level will produce).
  • Page 18 MULTICHANNEL SIGNAL CONDITIONER MODEL 482C16 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 3) Input Filter (FLTi on front panel): A screen stating ‘This Option is Not Installed’ will appear. The 482C16 does not come standard with an input filter, but the option is available. Contact the factory for more information.

  • Page 25: Reference

    20) Save current settings (Savs on front panel): Activation of ‘Savs’ on model 482C16 causes the current settings to be saved as the default settings and used when the unit is powered up again. This command is useful for units without an on/off power button. For units with a power button the settings are automatically saved when the unit is powered down using the button.

  • Page 26: Input Protection

    The input signal conditioning for each channel provides a unity gain buffer with high-input impedance amplifiers. AC coupling eliminates the DC bias from the input signal unless DC coupling is enabled (482C16 is AC coupled ONLY). Figure 4 Input Amplifier Configuration 3-5.

  • Page 27: Overload Detection And Autoscaling

    3-6.1 Auto scaling To avoid overload, model 482C16 features auto scaling for gain adjustment. It first sets maximum gain on all channels, then decreases the gain setting of any channel on which an overload has occurred. The gain auto scale continues until there is no overload with respect to the preset overload threshold level (standard ±10 volts) and sensed signal of the...

  • Page 28: Connector Configuration

    RS-232 Interface Figure 6 RS-232 Configuration The RS-232 interface provides serial control of 482C16. This may be accomplished through the use of a personal computer, dumb terminal, or handheld controller. The command format is based upon letter representations of the controllable options.
