  If  the  output  signal  decreases,  then  connect  the  decade  box  instead  of  C

2

 

and look for the maximum of the output signal there. 

  For C

and/or C

solder in a capacitor which is approx. 10...20 % larger than 

the value you have determined. 

  If both capacitors cause a reduction of the output signal, no phase capacitor 

is required. 

  Then set the zero point and the gain. 

5.4.3 Zero point / output range offset 

If the adjustment range of the zero-point potentiometer P

0

 is insufficient, it can 

be extended by reducing the resistor R

2

 

For  reasons  of  stability,  do  not  choose  a  smaller  resistance 
value for R

2

 than necessary. 

 

If only a positive (asymmetric) output voltage of e.g. 
0...  10 V  is  required  when  using  a  symmetric 
displacement  sensor,  a  larger  offset  of  the  output 
range  is  required.  The  offset  resistors  R

6

  (negative 

offset  of  output  signal)  and  R

7

  (positive  offset  of 

output signal) are provided for this purpose. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         Figure 18 

  Do  a  phase  compensation  before  offsetting  the 

output signals with the offset resistors. 

  Then  adjust  the  gain  of the measuring  amplifier. 

The stroke of the output signal in the measuring 
range  must  correspond  to  the  desired  output 
range.  In  this  example  -5...+5 V  =  10 V.  To  do 
so,  it  will  usually  be  necessary  to  replace  the 
resistor R

E

 (see 5.4.4). 

  With  resistor R

7

,  you  are  now  able  to  offset  the output  range in  the positive 

direction from -5...+5 V to 0...10 V. 

  Similarly, you can also move the output range in the negative direction if, for 

example,  a  symmetrical  voltage  output  is  required  for  an  asymmetric 
displacement sensor (offset with R

6

). 

  You can also move the zero point to the end of the measuring range (output 

signal  is  positive).  In  this  case,  you  must  switch  the  excitation  wires 
(ac 2 / terminal 16 and ac 4 / terminal 15) and install the offset resistor R
