NEMA The NEMA 12 configuration is an 8"x8"x4" continuous hinge enclosure. It can contain either 1 or 2 synchronized measuring channels and an optional function card. An optional integral power supply and/or display is available. In the NEMA the modules do not have separate enclosures. -
Page 18: Integral Power Supply
The power supply for the series 8000 rack enclosures are integral to the chassis and mounted on the back panel for better heat dissipation. All of the Series 8000 power supplies provide a +/-15VDC+/-.5V linear regulated output for low noise operation. The available current is 500mA per side in the 1/2 and 3/4 rack configurations and 1A per side in full rack configurations. -
Page 19: Input Voltage Selection (120Vac/240Vac)
Input Voltage Selection (120VAC/240VAC) Warning: When you change the input voltage on the rear panel you must also change the MCD 8000 input voltage or you may damage the unit. Warning: The integral power supply in racks utilize high voltage (120 or 240VAC). -
Page 20: Fig. 10 -- Voltage Selector Card Orientation
Using the indicator pin orient the selector card so that the desired voltage is readable at the bottom. Orient the indicator pin to point up when the desired voltage is readable at bottom ( note that when indicator pin is fixed, successive voltages are selected by rotating the card 90 o clockwise). - Page 21 If you have an MCD 8000 (for other 1/8 DIN panel meter configurations you will need to see the specific manual on the meter for changing the input voltage) 110VAC or 220VAC is selectable using a switch on the indicators main circuit board. Check the instruments tag for the voltage range set at the factory.

Page 25: Internal Back Plane Connectors
The bare chassis eurocard connector is available for expansion and is part number 826020- 002 for function cards. For most Kaman measuring systems use the SMA connector for coaxial connection, two part numbers are available: 853503-001 for single coil systems or 853503- 002 for dual coil or differential systems. -
Page 26: Adding Additional Modules
Install the connector spaced the same number of holes as the rest of the connectors in the unit (there should be 6 empty holes between connectors). The 2 M2.5x6 screws (supplied -- Kaman PN 826028-146) should be used to secure the connector firmly in place. If you are installing a measuring channel and have and SMA pigtail it is best to wait until later to secure the SMA to the back panel. - Page 27 Solder in the power and ground connections. You will need to use 24AWG bus wire to connect the power and ground of any Kaman supplied module. The back plane template (fig. 15) shows the power and ground connections.

Page 29: The Back Panel
The Back Panel The exact back panel configuration will depend on the specific enclosure, measuring channels, and function cards to build a system. Figures 3, 5, and 7 show the back panel configurations for the 3 standard rack mounted enclosure types. Exact terminal block outputs depend on the measuring channel/function module configuration of the specific rack. -
Page 30: Back Panel I/O And Labeling
Back Panel I/O and Labeling Each back panel has terminal blocks used for I/O with special laser markings depending on the cards installed in the rack. The half rack has one 12 position terminal block, the 3/4 and full racks have two 12 position terminal blocks. The outputs are labeled to be consistent with the table below where `x' refers to the channel number. -
Page 31: Back Panel Sensor Inputs
Back Panel Sensor Inputs The back panels are configured with holes for panel mounted SMA connectors for coaxial sensor inputs. Depending on the number and type of measuring channels some of the holes may be plugged. The two rows of sensor inputs are marked A (or `Active') and B (or `Inactive')(for dual coil or differential sensor configurations) with a number between the A/B sensor inputs corresponding to the particular measuring channel input. -
Page 32: The Front Panels
The Front Panels The series 8000 enclosure front panels are essentially self configuring depending on the mix of function card and measuring channels. You will need to refer to the manual on the specific module for information on the front panel controls. See appendix A and B for some brief information on measuring channels and function cards. -
Page 33: Mcd-8000 And 1/8 Din Panel Mounted Displays
MCD-8000 and 1/8 DIN Panel Mounted Displays The MCD 8000 is a scalable 4 digit display module designed for accurate, reliable , measurement of voltage or milliamps from up to 6 inputs. The panel cutout for the MCD-8000 is a standard 1/8 DIN size. This allows flexibility in choosing an appropriate meter for a particular application. -

Page 35: Using The Multi-Inputs
Using the Multi-Inputs Select the input you wish to display by turning the front panel selector switch. The knob's index mark indicates the selected input as labeled on the front panel lens. fig. 21 -- MCD 8000 Front Panel; The display is normally configured to display the measuring channel output in the numbered position starting to the right of the display. -
Page 36: Input Wiring To The Display
Input wiring to the Display The display can come in several configurations depending on the rack requirements. The basic connectors to the back of the module are from the measuring channels to the terminal block as shown in fig. 22 with the measuring channel output wired to the (+) terminal and the GND wired to the (-) terminal for a particular channel. -
Page 37: 0-10Vdc Display Input Configuration
200 microvolts per count with the inputs configured single ended. This option requires the input conditioning board (Kaman PN 853737-002) to be wired to the display. This display is limited to a display reading of +/-9.99 (999x2 counts) since the first digit location is taken up by the sign. -
Page 38: 4-20Ma Display Input Configuration
4-20mA Display Input Configuration The MCD 8000 can take either voltage or current inputs. When configuring for current input you need to snap off the front panel lens to gain access to the display board. Behind the display is a DIP switch used to set the indicators input measuring mode. You will also need to change the wiring on the display terminal block (see section on Input Wiring to the Display) to go into the +I and -I terminals. -
Page 39: Calibration
Calibration The MCD-8000 calibration consists of a 2 point calibration that adjusts the offset and slope of the resulting display. The scale factor of the MCD-8000 can be adjusted for a minimum of 200 microvolts per count (400 microvolts per count with +/-10VDC input option). In order to calibrate the unit the following steps should be followed: Select the input channel with the maximum voltage range to calibrate from. -
Page 40: Fig. 26 -- Mcd 8000 Adjustment Switches
Pull off the switch cap and pop off the front of the meter panel using a small flat head screwdriver and twisting slightly in the slot near the bottom center of the panel. Note: The DIP switch may either be a rocker type (press down on appropriate end) or a slider type (slide toward appropriate end). - Page 41 Position the sensor or simulated input so that it is near the low scale point (e.g. 0 mils, 0 Volts, 4 mA) push the "ENTER" button. Use the "SET" button to change the value of the flashing digit. When the flashing digit is correct, push the enter button.
-
Page 42: Fig. 28 -- Button Function Legend
Note: Pushing both the "SET" and "ENTER" button at the same time always causes the indicator to recalibrate itself to the given input and what is on the display at that moment. As a protective measure, if scaling changes are made and not terminated this way no recalibration will occur, previous values will remain. -
Page 43: Appendix A -- Measuring Channel Configuration
Appendix A -- Measuring Channel Configuration The heart of the system is the measuring channel. Currently Kaman offers a wide variety of signal conditioning modules and inductive sensors. The table below is a brief description of ranges and display parameters for the standard line of sensors.
