PRIOR TO USE For safe use of the product, do not forget to read the "Safety Precautions" prior to use. Kyowa Electronic Instruments Co., Ltd. assumes no liability for any damage resulting from the user's failure to comply with the safety precautions.
The WDS-191AS1E records data and saves CSV files in text format. To read the CSV files, use commercially available software (Microsoft Excel). The WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E is able to be used in wide application such as for checking transducers and simplified measurement.

Check the recommended excitation voltage of the transducer is 2 V or more. 6 INSTALLING AND REMOVING BATTERIES Push down and open the battery case cap on the WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E rear. Locate and correctly insert accessory or commercially available size AA batteries in the battery case center band mentioned on the battery case.
7 OPERATIONS AND FUNCTIONS The WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E has 2 modes; STRAIN mode and MEAS mode. The "STRAIN mode" measures raw outputs of strain gage transducers. The "MEAS mode" converts raw outputs of strain gage transducers into physical quantities. Tips!! Basically the WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E operates by clicking.

To use the KEY LOCK, select ON on the F-15 “KEY LOCK.” For details, see “9 FUNCTION SELECTING MODES.” KEY LOCK: ON When the KEY LOCK is ON, the WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E starts with the locked status and the key mark appears.
7-2 ORIG UNIT (F-1) The WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E indicates outputs of strain gage transducers in “με” or “mV/V”. (”με” = “10 strain” = “μm/m”) The WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E uses the units for STRAIN mode and ENROLMNT ADJ (F-3). Before operating the WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E, select “με” or “mV/V”.
Click the ZERO key with no load applied to the transducer. The WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E saves the “zero” value. NOTE: Before calibrations, be sure to execute the digital zero function. Since the “zero” value is equivalent to the calibration value, the WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E saves the “zero” value in the internal memory.
7-4-3 LOAD ADJ (F-2) The F-2 calibrates data by applying the known load actually. Apply load: Apply the known load to the transducer. FUNCTION SELECTING mode: Press and hold the SET key. The “F-1” appears. LOAD ADJ: Click the key. The “F-2”...
Make sure the coefficients are within 0.009 to 110. Or, “CcErr” appears and “EA” appears on the bottom left. If the coefficients are not within 0.009 to 110, the WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E calculates the rated capacity (RC) by ignoring the decimal point and calculates the rated output (RO) in “με.”...
7-5 MEAS UNIT (F-12) This section describes how to select units for the MEAS mode. You are able to create custom units. STRAIN με, μm/m, μV/V, mV/V FORCE MASS PRESSUR hPa, kPa, TORQUE mN・m, N・m, kN・m, MN・m DSPLACE μm, ACCELER Gal, No unit CUSTOM...
7-6 SMOOTH (F-4) The F-4 function decreases the variation of indicating values to read data easily. 1) AVERAGE: Select the number of moving average data. The sampling rate is 50 times/sec. Suppose the sampling rate is 64 times, the AVERAGE is 1.28 sec. 2) MIN-VAL: Increases/decreases the indicating value by steps.
7-7 LOW POWER (F-5) The F-5 has PWR OFF and BKL OFF. The F-5 prevents unnecessary consumption of batteries from turning ON the [POWER] switch and backlight for too long. 1) PWR OFF: Prevents unnecessary consumption of batteries from turning ON the [POWER] switch for too long.
Make sure no load is applied to transducers. Click the HOLD key and ZERO key at the same time (for approx. 1 second). The WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E executes the sensitivity registration automatically.
The value, obtained in ② ZERO AT READ, is equivalent to the “zero” value, obtained in “7-4-2 Preparation for calibration.” The WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E uses the value, obtained in ② ZERO AT READ, as standards. NOTE 2 Suppose the RATED OUTPUT is DIS and RATED CAPACITY is DIS.
7-10-4 ENROL BY FILE Reads the K.S/N from the transducer TEDS data, find the same K.S/N file in the WDS-190AS1E/WDS- 191AS1E calibration files, and registers the rated outputs, rated capacities, decimal point positions, units, “zero” value, and smooth items automatically.

REG: Registers the setting contents. (Available when the file has no data.) Click the SET key. The WDS-190AS1E/WDS-191AS1E executes the target item and goes to the calibration file selection window. To register/delete data, select a calibration file again. Click the ZERO key.
8 COMPARATOR FUNCTIONS AND RECORDING FUNCTIONS (WDS-191AS1E ONLY) The WDS-191AS1E has a recording function that records the data, measured with the MEAS mode, in the internal memory and comparator function. The WDS-191AS1E saves the recorded data in an internal memory as CSV files. 8-1 COMPARATOR FUNCTIONS The WDS-191AS1E has one HI comparator.
8-3 CLOCK ADJ (F-6) This section describes how to adjust date and time, saved in the data. FUNCTION SELECTING mode: Click the SET key. The “F-1” appears. Adjust the time: Click the key. The “F-6” appears. Click the SET key. The highest-order digit of the current time blinks.
8-4 RECORDING FUNCTIONS As you click the REC key, the WDS-191AS1E records measured values in the internal memory. Data is comma-delimited CSV files. To read the CSV files, use commercially available software (Microsoft Excel). 1) To create files The internal memory has no file. Click the REC key.
3) To check/delete data This section describes how to check/delete the latest recorded data. Check data. Click the SET key and REC key at the same time (for approx. 1 second).
