USER MANUAL 5M64 Daytronic

The Model 5M64 is a single-channel DIN Mount instrument which is an easily configured, rugged, analog based signal conditioner made to operate with traditional DC sensor sources, such as string potentiometers, DC LVDTs and other sensors to measure force, pressure, torque, displacement and related measurements. The Model 5M64 has an extremely wide DC signal input range with user selectable gain, zero and analog output making it adaptable to any sensor application that requires stable, repeatable and noise free analog signals for control or data acquisition requirements.

Model 5M64 DC Voltage Module

Access switch settings via the front panel of the 5M64 by gently pulling the clear plastic cover (from the top side) so the cover rotates open from the bottom. Use a small tool or finger to place the switches to the left or right position as you face the front of the module. This process can be done with or without power to the unit. Once completed, return the cover to the original position.

4-20mA Input Operation

The Model 5M64 contains a precision input shunt resistor for mA input as indicated by the resistor symbol on input pin 3.

3. CALIBRATION

This section contains the instructions for calibrating the 5M64. Included is a functional description of the instrument front-panel (see Figure 2). To perform calibration, proceed as follows with the sensor or calibration standard connected.

(a) Turn power ON to the 5M64 DC Power input terminal (11 to 28 Vdc input) The front-panel indicator should light green to indicate the application of dc power. Allow 10 minutes of warmup for stabilization of transducer characteristics.
(b) Set the Coarse Span controls to the marked label position (Min>).
(c) Position the front panel switches to the desired settings for the application. Refer to Fig. 2 for details. Connect readout device (i.e. voltmeter) to ANO & A Common.
(d) With the input signal position at "zero", adjust the Fine Zero control until the desired analog output is achieved. Depending on your input selection the "zero" input could be near zero volts DC, or 4 mA or 12m pending front panel switch locations.
(e) Apply a known voltage or current input value which is greater than one half of full scale in the positive direction. Adjust the Coarse Span to obtain your nominal full scale analog output of th 5M64 Module. Use Fine Span control to adjust the output the analog output to a precise value required.

(f) Repeat step (e) as needed to obtain analog output precision. Note that any Span (gain) adjustments will effect the Zero (balance) value.

When completed, replace the plastic front cover to its original position and ensure connections and proper shielding to the module, and to the DIN rail to which the 5M64 is attached, are correct.

Table 2 Model 5M64 Common Mode Range Levels

	Range(VDC,ma f.s.)	C-M Range(+/- V)
5M64 Ranges	0.050 - 0.500 5
	0.500 - 5.000	50
	5.000 - 50.00	50
	4.00 - 20.00 ma	50
	4.00 - 12 - 20.00 ma	50

Common Mode: Is the voltage level at which the input signal can be "floating" from earth common which the 5M64 can function properly. If this level is exceeded, the Over-Range indicator will illuminate Red and the the connector labelled "CMF" will go true, giving the user a remote status of the Common-Mode condition of the 5M64 Module.

4. VERIFICATION OF NORMAL OPERATION

It is the purpose of this section to aid the user in determining, in the event of a malfunction of which the Model 5M64 is suspected of contributing, whether the instrument is functioning normally or whether it is the source of the observed trouble. In the event the unit requires repair, the user may also contact the factory Service Department or the local Daytronic Representative for assistance. Daytronic service information is located on the last page of this document.

If the instrument is suspected of faulty operation, perform the following steps.

(a) If the unit is totally inoperational (front-panel power indicator does not light), check the primary power input terminals for proper connection. Input power can be from 11 to 28 Vdc and will draw less than 2 watts. If properly connected, the front panel Green LED will be illuminated. Before reapplying power, visually inspect the power supply and the input power connections for any discrepancy which could have caused the overload.

(b) If the input has some preloading offset, the Zero controls may not allow successful zeroing of the instrument output. The fine zero control is limited to +/- 2.0 % of the full scale value. Check or change the input level to conform to this requirement. If this is verified and the zero adjustment does not function. Remove the input lines and place a "shorting" jumper between the + and - Signal Inputs to the Module.

(c) With the short in place, re-adjust the fine zero control and measure the analog output for change. If there is none, then the module is suspect; if there is change on the output, check the incoming signal and connections.

(d) Constant Red or Yellow LED Over-Range indication. This indicates an input magnitude of the signal that is greater than 20% of the adjusted range of the module or there is a Common Mode level outside the proper operation of the unit. Remove, the input from the Module. If the LED goes out, blank, then the input to the conditioner is superspect. If the LED stays lite, then the Module is suspect. Double check this by shorting the + and - Signal input leads to the Module. The Over-Range LED should not turn on. If it does, contact the factory service group.

(e) No signal change on the output. If you are using the Module's excitation power to excitate the sensor, check for proper voltage output (+ & - 5 Vdc). If this is not correct, disconnect the sensor from the excitation supplies and re-check. If the voltage level comes to +/- 5 Vdc (10 Vdc across the terminal) the the sensor maybe drawing too much current for the Module to accommodate and an external power supply maybe necessary.

Tech Tip on use of wide range settings for the DC Voltage Conditioner

Due to multiple amplifier stages within the instrument, attention to the proper gain setting and understanding of the sensor inputs should be reviewed to produce a linear-amplified analog output signal and display reading.

The wide span – gain control (as shown in the front panel diagram) has 16 positions to amplify the incoming signal by incremental steps. Each step is positioned so the Fine Span potentiometer control overlaps each step to provide a continuous linear gain of the signal from 50 mVdc to 50Vdc full scale. Below is a table of each wide gain steps, indicating the nominal low and high input signal range per position – full scale in VDC to the meter. Slight variations of the listed values will be noticed due to tolerance specifications of the analog control adjustments.
