Please return the original calibration data with the unit. REPAIR WARRANTY All repairs of Interface products are warranted for a period of 90 days from date of shipment. This warranty applies only to those items which were found defective and repaired.
DESCRIPTION The Model 9834 is an enhanced performance, microprocessor-based digital indicator capable of interfacing to high-level voltage ( 5 or 10VDC) or current (4-20mA) output transducers. A 16-bit analog-to-digital converter accurately digitizes the input signal. A 12VDC@90mA, short circuit protected, transducer excitation supply is also provided. Self-calibrating 10VDC and 4-20mA analog output signals are standard with this instrument.
INSTALLATION AND WIRING INSTALLATION The Model 9834 enclosure is designated for panel mounting in a 1/8 DIN cutout. The cutout dimensions are shown below. 1.772" 45mm (+0.024, -0.000) 92 mm 3.622" (+0.032, -0.000) To panel mount the 9834, perform the following steps.

SWITCH DEFINITIONS (CONT) Increment or Cal Switch (S3) This switch serves two functions, depending on the present status of S1. If the instrument is in the Mode Selection sequence, this switch will increment the flashing digit. If the instrument is in its operating mode, S3 becomes an AUTO CAL switch. CAUTION: If CAL function has been activated, depressing this switch will cause the instrument to recalibrate its full scale reading.

FUNCTION DEFINITIONS Filter Value (FILtEr) {00 to 99} The 9830 uses a filter based on exponential smoothing, a digital averaging technique where the recent conversions are given more weight than the older conversions. The weighting factor is the value of (FILtEr). The formula for the exponential filter is: = (1-F)C where S the new smoothed value...

PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS (CONT) 4. Depress MODE (S1) switch once. The text dP followed by the decimal point location will be displayed. Use S2 or S3 to locate the decimal point. To store the selected value in non-volatile memory, depress the MODE switch. To exit the MODE sequence, without storing the new value in non-volatile memory depress the RESET switch.

PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS (CONT) 9. Depress MODE (S1) switch once. The text SEt SP will be displayed momentarily, followed by the current value of Setpoint 1. Use S2, S3 and/or S4 to set a new value. To store the selected parameter in non-volatile memory, depress the MODE switch.

PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS (CONT) 17. Depress MODE (S1) switch once. The text SP4 HI or SP4 LO will be displayed. Reference SP1 HI setup instructions on Page 11 to set SP4 HI or SP4 LO. 18. Depress MODE (S1) switch once. The text SEt SP will be displayed momentarily, followed by the current value of Setpoint 4.
CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS The Interface Model 9834 can be calibrated using (2) different methods. 1. The first method uses actual or simulated ZERO and FULL SCALE (FS) inputs. Actual inputs may come from a transducer loaded with calibrated weights. Simulated inputs may come from a voltage calibrator.
Page 18
CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONT) 9. Enable the CAL switch. Reference PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS Step 1 on Page 10 to enable the CAL switch. Note: Enabling the CAL switch allows only one attempt at calibrating the instrument. If calibration is not successful, repeat the whole calibration procedure.
Page 19
CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONT) CALIBRATION USING THE REF SWITCH 1. Attach a calibration adaptor to J1. 2. Apply power to the instrument. 3. The TARE and CAL LED's on the front panel should be illuminated 4. Depress the TARE (S2) switch once. The TARE LED should extinquish. The instrument should now display the UNTARED reading.
No Parity Bit; One Stop Bit Transmissions from the Model 9834 are controlled by sending XOFF (ASCII code decimal 19, DC3) to suspend character transmission and XON (ASCII code decimal 17, DC1) to start transmission. All transmissions to the Model 9830, including XON and XOFF, must terminate with a CR (hex OD) and only a CR.
