Connections General 

 
Transducer,  supply  and  output  connections  are 
made  by  4  x  4  way  screw-clamp  terminals  as 
shown in Fig 1. 
 
To  reverse  output  polarity,  reverse  signal 
hi/signal lo.  Voltage output is between Volts Out 
and  common,  current  output  is  between  current 
out  and  common.    Output  common  is  internally 
connected to Excitation Lo. 
 

WARNING: INCORRECT SUPPLY 
CONNECTION, e.g. CONNECTING SUPPLY 
WIRE TO OUTPUT (O/P) MAY DAMAGE THE 
UNIT AND INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

Internal Controls 

 
To access internal controls the front part of the DR7AC case needs to be removed.  To do 
this, use a small screw driver to gently press in the clips behind terminal 1-4 and 13-16.  At 
the same time pull forward the front of the case.  The front of the case and pcb assembly 
should now slide forward. 

 

It will usually only be necessary to make changes to Gain and Zero controls.

To put  case back together, gently slide pcb assembly into case guide slots.   Ensure pcb 
earth pad CG1 is lined up with the earth clip inside the case, and push back until the front 
of the case clicks back into place.
