1. 2 Should not both be on Use switches 3 5 in conjunction with the polarity switches 1 and 2 to get as close as possible to the required offset value Use the fine control P2 to achieve the final setting If more than one switch is on at a time then the output of each is summed to give an overall offset to the output which can be up to 35 of full value This offset adjustment can be used either to compensate for the transducer offset error or to introduce a shift into the output s working range Excitation Amplitude SW2 8 Normally off Switching SW2 8 on reduces the excitation by a factor of two This allows lower impedance transducers to be used without overloading the electronics Please note that it may be necessary to alter the setting of the Span switch SW1 to compensate for the resulting lower input signal The LVDT A LVDT D Filter The LVDT A LVDT D incorporates a second order low pass filter which can be switched in to improve performance in electrically noisy environments It can also be used to reduce the effects of high frequency fluctuations in the displacement The cut off frequency of the filter is set by the 8 way DIL switch SW3 as shown in the following table Filter Cut off SW3 0 OFF 1 ON ssw3 n 2 3 4 f5 J 7 8 sHz jo jo jo qo j p x hx aoz a do do n 1 p s x asiz do i i do ji p s fx XxX X xX lt XxX X X One E QUA EQU SEA E a E E E A EEN 5oHz jo jo jo jo jo jo2.
