SG1000E general description
The SG1000E is a Sub-Turn Shaft Monitor with a 4-20 mA
output. The SG1000E is a rugged, medium cost encoder-based
monitoring device that enables the end-user to very accurately
monitor a process shaft’s position, allowing very accurate
operations. The SG1000E has two modes: calibration mode,
and normal operating mode. A simple calibration procedure
teaches (programs) the SG1000E the fully-closed (0% open) and
fully-open (100% open) process positions. Once programmed,
the SG1000E outputs a 4 mA DC signal when the process is in
the fully-closed position, and outputs a 20 mA DC signal when
the process is in the fully-open position. Any process position
between fully-closed and fully-open, is represented by the output
signal being proportionally between 4 and 20 mA.
Physical Appearance and Installation Overview
Figure 1 is the front-view of the SG1000E, showing the encoder-
output-shaft.

Figure 1:
The SG1000E attaches to the process’s shaft, or similar rotating
mechanical component, using an “end-of-shaft” mounting
method. See Figure 2. The SG1000E’s encoder-shaft-end
screws into a single 3/8-inch diameter hole, to a depth of 0.625
inch, having 3/8” – 16 UNC-2B threads.
Even though the SG1000E is mounted to the process shaft via
the “end-of-shaft” mounting method, installation of flexible
conduit and of the optional stabilizer bracket is recommended,
which allows the SG1000E to “float” along with any wobble
of the process’s shaft while still preventing the SG1000E from
rotating along with that shaft (see Fig. 2).
Note:
The stabilizer bracket’s U-bolt is slightly oversized
to provide about 1/8” of slack between it and the
SG1000E. The U-bolt’s slack prevents it from
rigidly clamping to the SG1000E’s conduit port.

Electrical connections
The SG1000E’s electrical cable has three wires, plus a shield-
wire. Connect as follows: (See Figure 3):

Figure 3:
• Connect the shield wire to the earth ground.
• Connect the black wire to the power-supply (-) terminal.
• Connect the red wire to the power-supply (+24 Vdc)
terminal.
• Connect the clear wire to a resistive load of 250 Ω to
500 Ω, (usually this load is internal to a PLC, etc.).
Note:
The clear wire is the 4-20 mA DC output line.
The other side of the 250 Ω to 500 Ω load must be
connected to the power-supply (-) terminal.
• See Figure 4 below for related information.
Calibration Procedure
Calibration consists of teaching the SG1000E the encoder
values for the fully-closed (0% open) and fully-open (100%
open) positions. The eight calibration steps are as follows (once
the user is familiar with the calibration procedure they need only
follow the
underlined
portions as a quick calibration guide):
1) Remove (twist CCW) the back-end-cover from the
SG1000E.
This provides access to the edge of the SG1000E’s printed
circuit board, namely the direction switch SW1 (the slide
switch), and the calibration switch SW2 (the push-button
switch). See Figure 4 for locations of these switches.
