6.0: Half-Bridge only Variant
6.0: Half-Bridge only Variant
Part No. 502621 Issue 10
This is a half-bridge optimised variant of the
standard product. The excitation frequency is
higher (see specification) and the transducer
input connector is wired to accept half-bridge
transducers with standard connections.
6.1: Connecting the transducer
The 5-pin DIN plug is screwed into the case
mounted socket. Transducers not fitted with a
plug should be wired to the plug supplied. LVDT
transducers cannot be connected to this input.
6.2: Setting up the Half-Bridge Transducer
The setting up procedure is the same as LVDT
transducers. See section 5. The sensitivity of
half-bridge transducers is generally lower than
for LVDT types, the x2 and x4 gain position may
have to be used. A list of standard link settings
for all Solartron Transducers is available from the
downloads section of www.solartronmetrology.com.
