EGG.1B.307.CLL (LEMO made) DPM-42A-F1 EGG.1B.307.CLL (LEMO made) NOTE The DPM-42A-1 and DPM-42A-F1 are not displayed in the EDX-2000A Application Software. The DPM-42A-1 is displayed as DPM-42A and the DPM-42A-F1, as DPM-42A-F in this Instruction Manual. STANDARD ACCESSORIES The following accessories are packed in DPM card. When unpacking, check the contents to ensure that all accessories are enclosed.
DPM card. Or, system failure or damage may result in. • The DPM card is installed with parts using Cd (Cadmium). Since performance of the Cd device deteriorates on a periodic basis, it should be replaced when repaired. Contact KYOWA or our representative.
NOTATIONS USED IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL Informational Notes Certain notations are used as necessary to attract your attention to information that requires special care when handing the DPM card and to information provided for reference purposes. Examples of Notations NOTE Essential precautions required when handling the DPM card.
1. OUTLINE OF THE PRODUCT 1-1 OUTLINE OF THE DPM-42A (-1/-F/-F1) Card • The DPM-42A(-1/-F/-F1) is designed to be used for strain gage and strain gage transducer by installing in the EDX-2000A. • Carrier wave of approximately 12 kHz is used for bridge excitation voltage.
1-3 PRECAUTIONS FOR USING DPM-42A(-1/-F/-F1) • Although the DPM-card is correctly installed in the slot of the EDX-2000A, if “DISABLE” or “UNKNOWN” is displayed as the “Card Type” on the system menu screen, it is required to update the EDX-2000A hardware.

For how to connect the DPM card to a bridge box, see “Measurement Memo: How to Assemble a Bridge Gage Bridge” in KYOWA’s union catalog or bridge box instruction manual. When one end of the strain gage transducer is equipped with no plug, there are 2 ways for connecting the strain gage transducer to the DPM card.
Page 13
(2) DPM-42A-1(F1) How to connect conductors to a plug for the DPM-42A-1(F1) is the same as the method for the DPM-42A(-F). If the plug used for the bridge box or strain gage transducer is PRC03-12A10-7M10 (TAJIMI made), use an optional input conversion cable [U-110].
DPM-42A “Card Type,” it is required to update the EDX-2000A DPM-42A hardware. Contact KYOWA or our representative for updating the EDX-2000A hardware. NOTE When installing the DPM card in the EDX-2000A, do not touch any component parts of the card. Or,...
