Operating manual EMGZ306A 1 Safety Instructions 1.1 Description conditions a) High danger of health injury or loss of life Danger This symbol refers to high risk for persons to get health injury or loss life. It has to be followed strictly.
Strain gauge: The electronic component that will change its resistance while its length has changed. Strain gauges are used in the FMS force sensors for acquisition of the feedback value. 3 System Components The EMGZ306A consists of the following components (refer also to Fig. 1): Force sensors •...
Due to the wheatstone wiring of the strain gauges, the measured value is according also to the power supply. So, the force sensors are supplied from the EMGZ306A by a very accurate power supply.
(Fig. 4). 5.2 Mounting the force sensors Mounting of the force sensors is done referring to the FMS Installation manual which is delivered together with the force sensors. Wiring to the terminals of the electronic unit is done according to wiring diagram (Fig.
Operating manual EMGZ306A 5.3 Wiring Fig. 4: Wiring Diagram E306009e There can be connected 1 or 2 force sensors to the measuring amplifier. Using 2 force sensors, the connections will be wired parallel. The output signal of the measuring amplifier then will correspond to the average value of the 2 sensors.

6.6 Calibrating the Measuring Amplifier without a Weight (EMGZ306A.CAL only) The EMGZ306A.CAL has a calibration button on the front side. Pushing this button simulates an input of 4.5mV at the amplifiers. This is used as reference point for the calibration without weight.
