In the example listed above, you would have selected option number 1 for the 0 – 5 volt analog
signal level since the maximum signal from the transducer is 5 VDC.
You have just set the analog operating level (range) for the selected channel.
Setting the display to read the maximum transducer value at the maximum transducer input.
Locate the 15-pin, ‘D’ type connector that corresponds to the channel to be spanned.
J1 = Channel 1
J2 = Channel 2
J3 = Channel 3
J4 = Channel 4
For units set to meter a voltage range, short pin 14 (command out) to pin 6 (signal in) of the
selected channel and place a calibrated volt meter to read from pin 5 (common) to pin 6.
For units set to read a 4 to 20 mA range, connect a milliamp meter between pins 14 and 6.
Press the
CHANNEL #
key corresponding to the selected channel. An asterisk (*) appears.
Use the number keys to enter THPS-400 current span value. Use the decimal!
Press
ENTER
Adjust the command to achieve a value as close to the max analog signal level as possible (
