8.3 Primary Input Setup
8.3.1 Setting the Primary Input Type for a Strain Gage Transducer
If using a
Dynisco
transducer, the model number of the transducer will designate its own
electrical output. For example, in plastic melt applications, the PT462E-5M-6/18 or
TPT432A-10M-6/18 have a strain gage (0-3.33 mV/V dc full scale) signal output.
Amplified units have a number where the strain gage units have a letter (E or A). The
PT4624-5M-6/18 has a 4-20mA signal output; the PT4625-5M-6/18 has a 0-5 Vdc signal
output, while PT4626-5M-6/18 has a 0-10Vdc signal output. In Industrial applications,
amplified units have a middle or end number of 4, 5, or 6. The S840-000-1C has a 4-
20mA signal output; the PT150-7.5M has a 0-5Vdc signal output, while PT276-5M has a
0-10Vdc signal output.
If you have an amplified transducer, or other amplified input, skip this section.
The UPR800’s default setting is strain gage input. To verify that the input is set for strain
gage, press the
FUNC
key until
nonE
and
GROUP
show on the display. Press the
t
key until
5
shows in the upper display. Press the
FUNC
key and the upper display should
show
Str
while the lower display shows
PI.TYP
. If not, press the
u
or
t
key until the
upper display changes to
Str
(for strain gage). Press the
FUNC
key to set the value. The
upper display changes to
tc
with
SI.TYP
on the lower display. Press the
RESET
key to
return to the active display.
8.3.2 Setting the Shunt Calibration for Strain Gage Transducers and Amplified
units
The Dynisco strain gage transducers and amplified transmitters (if so equipped) have an
internal shunt to allow the UPR800 to set the span full scale value automatically. To
Access the Shunt Calibration parameter, press the
FUNC
key until
nonE
and
GROUP
show on the display. Press the
t
key until
4
shows in the upper display. Press the
FUNC
key and the upper display will show
OFF
while the lower display shows
SHUNT
.
Press the
u
or
t
key until the upper display changes to the
ON
. Press the
FUNC
key to
set the value and move to the next Shunt parameter.
The upper display will show
80.0
while the lower display shows
SHNT%
. In most cases,
the Dynisco transducers have an 80% shunt value so no changes need be made.
However, some transducers and strain gages have shunt values that may range from 40-
100%. If so, press the
u
or
t
key until the upper display changes to the correct values.
Press the
FUNC
key to set the value. Press the
RESET
key to go back to the active
display.
8.3.3 Setting the Primary Input Type for an Amplified Transmitter
If using a voltage or current output transducer, the model number of the transducer will
designate its own electrical output. For example, a PT4624-7.5M-6/18 or an S840-000-
10M has an amplified signal output. In plastic melt applications, amplified units have a
number where the strain gage units have a letter (E or A). The PT4624-7.5M-6/18 has a
4-20mA signal output; the PT4625-7.5M-6/18 has a 0-5Vdc signal output, while PT4626-
7.5M-6/18 has a 0-10Vdc signal output. In Industrial applications, amplified units have a
