4.14.5 MATCHING AND SCALING A VOLTAGE TRANSDUCER

EXAMPLE: Given a 20 - 90 % RH (Relative Humidity) transducer with a 0 - 10 VDC output at a maximum current of 3 mA.

Program the OM-550 to indicate 20.00 %RH to 90.00 %RH (that is, to indicate %RH with 0.01% resolution).

If a ±10 Voltage Probe is being used, begin with step 3, below. (This probe is already matched to the OM-550).

1.First, find the Matching resistors: I = 1/2 maximum current

=0.003 / 2

=0.0015 Amps

R1

= 2 / I

R2 =

(V - 2) / I

=

2 / 0.0015

=

(10 - 2) / 0.0015

=

1333 Ω

=

5333 Ω

2. Check:

 

 

V=

(R1 + R2) * I

V =

R2 * I

=

(1333+5333)*1.5 mA

=

1333*1.5 mA

=

9.999

=

1.9995

=

10

=

2

With these matching resistors the OM-550 will see a max 2 VDC at the Transducer max output of 10 VDC.
