4-2 Analog Inputs
4-2 Analog Inputs
(continued)
4-2.1
5A:
4-20 mA; 250
Ω
input impedance.
5B:
0-20 mA; 250
Ω
input impedance.
5C:
1-5 VDC; 15 K
Ω
input impedance.
5D:
0-5 VDC; 15 K
Ω
input impedance.
5E:
0-10 VDC; 15 K
Ω
input imped-
ance.
The above inputs take the analog signal and
scale it from 0 to 10000 pulses per second
by using a highly linear voltage to frequency
converter. These pulses go to the processor
to be scaled by the K Factors. To determine
the K Factor, see Section 7, Calculating the K
Factor.
4-2.2
6A:
Square Law: 4-20 mA; 250
Ω
in-
put impedance.
The Square Law input is a special input that
compensates for non- linear input types.
Specifi cally, inputs that require square root
extraction to provide accurate count and rate
determinations. The input signal is converted
to a 0 to 10000 pulse per second input to the
processor (See Table 4-2 below).

To calculate the freq. for a particular input use
the following formula.
mA - 4
x 10000 = Freq. to processor

For example: to calculate the frequency for 9
mA Input.
9 - 4
x 10000 = 5590 Freq. to processor.

4-2.3 Analog Inputs Exchange
If an analog sensor cannot be obtained that
matches the Batcher input, it is recommended
that the Batcher be returned to have the ana-
log input module exchanged and recalibrated.
Recalibration should only be attempted by
someone who has the training to open the unit
and work with grounded equipment necessary
to protect the static sensitive CMOS circuitry.
For instructions on how to return the unit for
exchange see Section 2-2.
4-2.4 Analog Inputs Calibration
(All units have been calibrated at the factory)
Warning: This unit contains static sensitive
components. Observe proper precautions!
a)
Set the ratemeter at 6 SIG FIG; the win-
dow at 01; and the K Factor at 1.00.
b)
Remove the case and locate the analog
input card mounted behind the display
(see Section 6-3).
c)
Locate the two 0.3 inch square pots R3
and R15. These numbers should be
silkscreened underneath them on the
board.
d)
Input a very accurate low signal and ad-
just R3 (left side from the front) so that
the display reads .0001 to 0000.
e)
Input a very accurate high signal and
adjust R15 (right side from the front) so
that the display reads 9999 to 10000.
f)
Repeat steps
d
and
e
until the unit is
reading as close as possible to 0000 on
the low side and 10000 on the high side.
This should only take a few tries.
g)
Re-case the unit and setup the Menu as
desired.
If problems occur during calibration please con-
tact the factory for exchange or to arrange for
factory calibration.
