Calculate a new Vref using the desired Iexc:

Vref = 10V - 5K * Iexc

Then calculate R89 value:

R89 = 10K [ ( 2

10V / Vref ) / ( 10V / Vref

1 ) ]

Install the custom excitation current resistor in R89.

Set switch S2 position 1 to OFF

6.2 CUSTOM SECOND STAGE GAIN RESISTOR - RX100

The formula for calculating the value of RX100 is:

RX100 = 149K / ( Gain - 6.96 ) Where Gain cannot be less than 7 nor greater than 64.

Install the custom gain resistor at position RX100 (next to S1 on board).

Set S1, switch 4 to ON. That is the switch labeled CUSTOM.

Set the S2, second stage gain to X7, ON.

Because this is a second stage gain, you can still use the first stage gains of 2, 4, and 8 or turn them all off
for a first stage gain of 1. That will make the second stage gain the only gain more than one.
