Electrical connections to the Gauge
See pages 63, 64 & 65 for schematic connection details.
Power Supply
The Gauge requires a DC supply voltage between 7.5 and 30 volts.
There is an internal 1 amp fuse and crowbar circuit to protect the
instrument from over-voltage surges. The supply input is also
protected against accidental reverse polarity connection.
There is no ON/OFF switch. The Gauge will operate continuously
whilst power is connected. There will be an initial delay of about 2
seconds, and then the instrument will begin continuously
transmitting thickness-measurement data.
A “Test-Cable” is supplied in the main Gauge Kit, which can be
used to verify the Gauge operation. If you are using the Test-
Cable, connect Red to positive and Black to negative.
Data Output
The Gauge outputs its status and thickness measurements as RS-
422 serial data. The RS-422 output option can transmit the serial
data up to 1200 m (4,000 ft) along a twisted pair cable. The serial
