The Equipment
EuroCard Measuring channels and function cards for your Series 8000 system come in the form
Modules of EuroCard modules, which fit inside of the enclosure you, have chosen. Each module
is similar in appearance and size. If your enclosure is not filled with modules, a filler panel
will cover empty module slots.
EuroCard systems offer a variety of benefits:
•
Manufactured in standard sizes, they will fit into countless commercially
available enclosures. Modules in the Series 8000 measure 3U high by 7T wide,
or 5.06 inches by 1.4 inches.
•
Because of their modular design, they can be used to customize electronic test
equipment systems.
•
They are easy to install, requiring no more than a plug-in and simple wiring.
Optional
Optional function cards for your KDM-8200 are available from Kaman. These function
Function cards extend the system’s functional capabilities beyond the simple acquisition of
Modules displacement data to include such conditions as 4-20ma conversion, summation, set-
point, and more. We even provide a prototyping board to help you develop functions that we
don’t offer. For more application-specific information, refer to the instruction manual for the
particular function you are using.
System
There are a variety of system modifications that you may choose to make to your system.
Modification These modifications can range from installing one of the function modules listed above,
to adding jumpers on a PC board to enhance calibration controls. These modifications are
described in APPENDIX B.
Power
The input voltage required to operate a measuring channel is
±
15 Vdc at 40 ma (60
Supply ma if you are using a 12 V system).
Connecting power to any other than the specified pins may cause damage to the system module
and/or power source
Sensors
Sensor leads labeled either “A” or “B” is on the back of the chassis. Sensors with
model numbers ending in a “1” use connector “A”; sensors with model numbers ending
in “2” or “M” use both connectors. The exception is the .5U2, which has only one
connector that connects to “A”. If you haven’t purchased a chassis, but have purchased
the connector (Part # 853503-001 / single connector or 853503-002 / dual connector)
“A” and “B” will be located on the connector.
When connecting to the instrument rack, there will be connectors on the back panel.
The subrack will have either a panel, or will be wired through a hard BUS on the PC Board.
