(1) Connect the measuring target to the “GND” terminal of scanner such as USB-70 series, etc. (2) If no scanner is used, connect the measuring target to the “GND” terminal of the UCAM-60C. (3) Ground either the scanner’s “GND” terminal of USB-70 series, etc., or the “GND” terminal of UCAM-60C.
Page 24
3-1-1-5 When Connecting to an External Device Which Has Connection between Digital Common (or Chassis) and GND Terminal (1) Connect the “GND” terminal of the UCAM-60C to the GND terminal of the external device. (2) Ground the GND terminal of the external device.
3-1-2 Grounding for Lightning Surge Protection To protect the UCAM-60C or scanners from lightning surge, connect “E” terminals of each of the input terminals to the “GND” terminal. For lightning surge protection, conduct grounding independently. The effect of the lightning surge protection depends on how well of the connection of grounding and wiring.
Tester Tester Ground (3) If the UCAM-60C is operated in environment where interfering devices such as induction motor, welding machine, etc. are used, power supply may be deteriorated due to noise. It is recommended to use KYOWA’s Insulation Transformer UPT-300B.
Before connecting the power cable, confirm the following. (1) Ensure that the DC power supply voltage has 10 to 16 VDC. If the UCAM-60C is used with DC power voltage other than stated above, it may cause low performance and malfunction of UCAM-60C.
3-2 CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES 3-2-1 Connecting USB-70 Series Scanners For connecting USB-70 series external scanners to the UCAM-60C, it is required to use a scanner interface USI-67A (optional goods). UCAM-60C (1) Install the scanner interface USI-67A to optional slot 1 at the rear panel.

INTERFACE” for setting interface. ● For details of setting IP address, etc., confirm the relevant ‘Network Administrator’, etc. of the connected network. ● Note that the UCAM-60C is not provided with functions such as ‘Fire Wall’. Be careful when connecting to the network.
Connection is not possible when the IP addresses of UCAM-60C and your PC are not set. This section describes how to set the IP address of the UCAM-60C together with the IP address of your PC. 3-3-1 Setting confirmation on the PC side First, confirm the IP address setting on the PC side.
In addition, even when other PCs and devices are connected in the same LAN environment, enter a different number so that the number *** is not duplicated. 2) Set the IP address of the UCAM-60C. See "10-4 Ethernet Setting" for details.
Page 34
There are 2 LEDs at the LAN connector of the UCAM-60C, indicating whether the current connection of hardware is correct or not. Turn ON the UCAM-60C and launch the UCS-60B of PC. If LAN connection is correct, one of the LEDs lights up while the other flickers (irregularly). If not, check the LAN cable connection .
Page 35
(3) If correct connection of hardware and software had been confirmed but controlling of UCAM-60C in practical application cannot be conducted, 1) Check setting condition of the current application. 2) Check with the security software’s Firewall removed. 3) Ethernet communication is not available if the communications port (9001) is set to a state where it is always closed.
● For 1-gage connection, it is recommended to adopt a “3-wire system” connection method that has less error factors such as temperature influence based on gage lead wire used, error of the initial value, etc. ● When measurement is conducted in environment with excessive noise, use KYOWA’s low-noise lead wire (L-13/14/15/16).

However, by enabling the deltaV or deltaT function, it becomes possible to measure with the measure value where coefficient calculation was performed. ・Is a FV-1A and FV-2A sold by KYOWA used? Can not use the FV-1A and FV-2A to the UCAM-60. ・See "9-5 Terminal Temperature" to conduct a terminal temperature check to see whether the result is almost the same as the surrounding temperature.
10,000 μm/m -1.0% 100,000μm/m -9.1% The UCAM-60C automatically conducts compensation calculation for the output voltage to obtain the true strain value. Output voltage ε = 1- e The above nonlinearity also generates when opposite side active measuring method is adopted.

14-2 HOW TO USE DUMMY GAGE METHOD A true-dummy method is adopted in KYOWA’s Data Logger UCAM series that is designed to exclude in effective manner by the Software, an apparent strain resulted from linear expansion coefficient of measuring target (test piece) caused by change in ambient temperature.
14-3 HOW TO COMPENSATE TEMPERATURE INFLUENCE ON LEAD WIRE (3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION) When a lead wire is extended from the gage to a bridge circuit using a SELCOM gage as shown in the following, resistance change of the lead wire caused by temperature is viewed as an apparent strain. With this state, it is not available to fully exert effective features of the SELCOM gage in strain measurement.
14-4 COMPENSATING GAGE FACTOR The UCAM-60C is designed to conduct measurement with gage factor 2.00. When the gage factor of the current gage is not 2.00, it is required to compensate the strain gage. Compensation can be conducted by the following expression.
