Operation 

 

Internal electronics include a capacitor and resistor that decouples the sensor output signal from the DC power.  

With no sensor co

nnected, move power switch to “ON” position.  The front panel voltmeter measures the battery 

voltage with full scale set at 27 volts (+27 volts for new batteries), see Figure 1.  When an ICP

® 

sensor is 

connector to the input “XDCR” jack, the meter will indicate approximately mid-scale (+11 volts nominal) if the 

sensor’s internal amplifier and cables are functioning properly without damage.  Some sensors use a 5 volt 

excitation and in this case the meter will read at the lower edge of the green region.
