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