NOTE: Once AutoZero is activated, the initial gage offset is
subtracted from the output, which has a maximum range of
±12 V. The extra ±2 V overhead above and below Full Scale
(±10 V) is provided to help minimize this reduction in range.
For example, if the initial offset is 1.6 V, then the maximum
output of the system will be 10.4 V after AutoZero is set. This
still allows for strain measurement up to Full Scale.
If before activating AutoZero there is an initial offset of more
than 50% of Full Scale, it may be necessary to 1) use a lower
Transmitter Gain setting, 2) apply a shunt resistor to balance
the gage, or 3) replace the strain gage. For further
assistance, contact Binsfeld Engineering Inc.
10. Scroll RX10K display to Filter parameter screen. Set the Filter
to the desired level.
11. Scroll RX10K display to Gain parameter screen. Set the
System Gain to scale and/or calibrate output based on
calculations as demonstrated in Appendix B. Check
calibration by using the RM10K to command the TX10K to
transmit
REFERENCE 1
and/or
2
to the RX10K.
12. Connect appropriate recording device to either the analog
Voltage Output
terminals or digital
Com
(DB9) connector.
Check the zero and adjust using the Output Offset if needed.
13. The system is now ready to record data.
Bench Testing
1. Connect Receiver Antenna to
Antenna
connector on the rear
panel of the RX10K Receiver. Position magnetic-mount
antenna with element installed near the TX10K.
2. Insert connector on AC/DC adapter into
Power Input
jack on
the RX10K rear panel. Plug adapter into appropriate AC
power source (i.e., wall socket). Flip the RX10K power switch
to
On
while holding down the
ADJUST
▲ key.
NOTE: This resets the factory default parameter settings.
Values reported in this section may be different if default
values are not reset.
