3. Set up the mezzanine card(s).
A. (Optional) For transducers that require a ground reference, set the
card grounding DIP switch to the ON position.
B. (Optional) For quarter-bridge transducers, set the bridge-
completion DIP switch on the card to the ON position and install a
bridge completion resistor on the I/O carrier board.
C. (Optional) Install shunt calibration resistor plug assemblies on the
front panel of the I/O carrier board.
Note If you use MTS TEDS modules or MTS transducers with integrated
shunt-calibration resistors, you must insert a jumper plug (MTS part
number 100-188-097) into the socket for each transducer input
where you will use the integrated shunt-calibration resistor.
4. Install the mezzanine cards on the I/O carrier board.
5. Repeat the preceding steps to set up and install any other cards.
6. Install the I/O carrier board(s).
A. Plug the board into the VME card cage.
B. Connect the transducer cables to the I/O carrier board.
7. Apply power to the system and use hardware-mapping and control
software to configure each conditioner.
Important If you use a 4-wire cable for a DUC that is configured for an 8-
wire device, the excitation voltage will not be correct.
8. Allow the hardware to warm up for an hour, and then perform
calibration and tuning procedures.
