4. CONNECTION OF THE TRANSDUCERS
Any ALMEMO ® sensors can be connected to the ALMEMO ® input sockets Mxx
of the plug-in modules (8) and (9). For connecting existing sensors it is only
necessary to connect a corresponding ALMEMO
® connector.
4.1 Transducers
A detailed description of the comprehensive ALMEMO
®
sensor range (see
manual section 3) and the connection of existing sensors (see manual section
4) to the ALMEMO
®
instruments are provided in the ALMEMO
®
manual. All
standard sensors with ALMEMO
®
connector usually have the measuring range
and dimension already programmed and can be immediately connected to any
input socket. A mechanical coding ensures that sensor and output modules
can only be connected to the correct sockets. Furthermore, each ALMEMO
®
connector has two locking levers that snap in when the insertion into the socket
is established and that prevent a disconnection caused by pulling the cable.
Both levers must be pressed on the sides for disconnecting the connector.
4.2 Measuring Inputs and Extension
The measuring circuit board ES 5590-G1 has 9 input sockets with, at first, the
measuring channels M00 to M08 being allocated to them. However, ALMEMO
®
sensors can, if required, provide up to 4 channels so that 36 channels are
available with 9 input sockets. The additional channels can be especially used
with humidity sensors with 4 measuring variables (temperature/humidity/dew
point/mixture ratio) or used for function channels. If required, the sensor can
also be programmed with several ranges or different scaling or, depending on
the pin assignment, 2 or 3 sensors can be combined in one connector (e.g.
TE/Ntc, mV/V, mA/V etc.). The additional measuring channels of a connector
are increased in steps of 10 (e.g. the first sensor has the channels M0, M10,
M20, M30, the second sensor has the channels M1, M11, M21, M31 etc.).
