Transducer options
The options for each field are described below.
Mounted
The transducer name is displayed next to this heading.
Units
The units that the transducer measures is displayed next to this heading.
Sensitivity (mV/unit)
Every transducer has a characteristic sensitivity, or calibration. This sensitivity is included
with the documentation you received when you purchased the transducer or it may be
imprinted on the side of the transducer. If the sensitivity of the transducer is not known,
contact the manufacturer. You can enter a number from 0.10 to 99999.99.
Fault High (Volts DC)
Set this field higher than the highest average DC voltage that can reasonably be produced by
the transducer during data collection. A voltage reading higher than the Fault High value
indicates a transducer fault. The transducer’s default Fault High value is displayed after the
transducer is installed. You can enter a number from -19.0 to 20.0 Volts DC.
Fault Low (Volts DC)
Set this field lower than the lowest average DC voltage that can reasonably be produced by
the transducer during data collection. A voltage reading lower than the Fault Low value
indicates a transducer fault. The transducer’s default Fault Low value is displayed after the
transducer is installed. You can enter a number from -20.0 to 12.0 Volts DC.
Note: If you set Fault High and Fault Low to the same value, the dataPAC never detects a
transducer fault.
Power Up Delay (mS)
The Power Up Delay option allows you to specify the number of milliseconds (1/1000
second) after you mount the transducer that the dataPAC waits before using it. You can
enter a number from 50 to 20000 mS.
Enable Power
When this option is selected, power is supplied to the transducer (2mA constant current.)
