Chapter 12 High-Level Input 
Channel
12.1 Features
The High-Level Input channel provides a dc supply voltage to 
and accepts voltage or current signals from amplified transduc-
ers such as pressure transducers, load cells and dc-dc LVDTs. 
These signals are digitized, converted into engineering units, and 
placed into the track, peak and valley data values of the channel. 
Setup and calibration of the channel is made manually through 
the SETUP menu mode. Signature Calibration is not available 
with amplified transducers.
The analog-to-digital converter input circuit features adjustable 
digital, low-pass filtering, 12- to 18-bit resolution (depending on 
the filter setting) and has several different input ranges. These 
manyrangesallow±50,000countresolution(attheslowestlter
setting) across a wide variety of input ranges.
A combination of SETUP menu items and hardware jumpers are 
used to configure the excitation supply output voltage (+28 Vdc, 
±15Vdc,+15Vdcor+12Vdc),theinputtype(voltageorcurrent)
and input reference (differential or single ended).
Two methods of calibrating the High-Level Input channel to the 
transducer are available: known-load calibration and shunt cali-
bration. The benefits of each are discussed in “CALIBRATION TYPE 
Menu Item” on page 59.
Two rear panel control inputs can be field-configured for such 
functions as remote tare, disabling peak/valley detection and 
clearing the peak/valley values. A voltage or current digital-to-
analog output is also provided.
12.2 Wiring
12.2.1 Channel Connector
Connect the amplified transducer, in-line amplifier or dc-dc LVDT 
to a High-Level Input channel by wiring it to the 12-pin connec-
tor of that channel. The Customer Information Sheet that shipped 
with the instrument describes which cards are installed in each 
channel. The pin-out for this connector is shown on the following 
table.

The Analog Output and Analog Return pins are electrically iso-
lated from all other pins on the instrument. 
CAUTION
Identify the amplified transducer or in-line amplifier accord-
ing to the Option Code or model name as shown on its serial 
number tag. Use this information to select the correct wiring 
diagram on the following pages. Incorrect wiring can damage 
both the transducer and the instrument. 
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in 
product damage.
