SETUP OF EXTERNAL TRANSDUCER
The
AUET/MTM-DC
can be used with a
variety of external transducers, whether
supplied by AIMCO or another manu-
facturer. Because manufacturers use a
wide range of transducer technologies and
connector types, verify that the transducer
you plan to use is capable of being
connected to and communicating with the
AUET/MTM
. For assistance with this,
please contact your AIMCO Distributor or
authorized AIMCO Sales Representative.
AIMCO’s lines of
Auditor™
industry-
standard transducers are manufactured
with the proper connector-style for easy
use with the
AUET/MTM
and will be used
as the example in all following instructions.
Two (2) optional cables are available from
AIMCO to connect
Auditor™
brand
transducers to the
AUET/MTM-DC
:
Part #
ATDBLIS:
Connects the ATDA
to any
Auditor™
ABRT- or ARTIS
Torque/Angle series transducer
Part #
ATDBRIS:
Connects the
ATDA to any
Auditor™
ARTIS
Torque Only series transducer
Contact your AIMCO Distributor or AIMCO
authorized Sales Representative for
information on ordering these cables.
Connecting a Transducer
Align the red dot on the transducer-cable
connector with the red dot on the
TRANSDUCER CABLE INPUT
port
(Figure 2)
and firmly press the connector
into the port.
Setting up the Transducer to be used
The
Auditor™
AUET/MTM must be set to
recognize the transducer connected to the
instrument.
Most transducers can be
made to allow the
Auditor™
AUET/MTM
to self-recognize the transducer simply
when a connection is made. For
assistance with this, please contact your
AIMCO Distributor or authorized AIMCO
Sales Representative for a transducer
upgrade quotation.
For the typical, Industry Standard (IS) type
of transducer, the setup procedure is as
follows:
1. Turn the AUET/MTM
On
.
2. Within 3 seconds of pressing the
ON
button, press the
LEFT SELECTION
BUTTON
(Figure 1
) for CAL
3. Press
ENT
to SELECT UNITS. If a
transducer has been previously setup,
the data for that previous setup will be
shown.
4. Units of measure for use in setting up
the transducer may be changed in this
screen by pressing the
UP OR DOWN
SELECTION
ARROW
to
scroll
through the available units. Pressing
ENT
will select the displayed unit of
measure for use in setup and then
display the
SELECT FULL SCALE
screen.
5. To change the number displayed to
match the transducer being setup,
press
the
RIGHT
SELECTION
BUTTON
to EDIT the number.
6. The upper right corner of the screen
will display the digit number that use of
the
UP or DOWN SELECTION
ARROWS
will effect. The bottom left
corner of the screen shows the
increment of adjustment that each
press
of
the
UP
or
DOWN
SELECTION ARROWS
changes the
digit by.

The next screen will display “(+/-)
0.000” and the A-D counts. Press and
hold
the
RIGHT
SELECTION

to
EDIT
the mV/V rating of
the transducer being setup. System
defaults to 2.00000 which is standard
for all Auditor IS transducers. To
insure that the selection is correct a
change should be made even if the
default of 2.00000mV/v is correct.
Using the
UP
and
DOWN SELEC-
TION ARROWS
adjust the reading up
and down to then display the desired
