ANALOG INPUT

SECTION 10

Voltage outputs from pins 6 and 10 are generated by the RS-232 chip U8. Both of these voltages go through a 100 ohm resistor to H1-10 and H1-6. Pin 10 goes to 0 volts when operating the board in IDLE m odes 1 or 2. Pin 6 goes to about + 5 volts. These voltages may be used to supply power to very low pow er amplifier s.

CALIBRATION

The A /D comes fa ctory ca librated for a 0 to 5V inpu t. This range is chan ged by adjusting R17. You can adjust the range to 5.12V. This is useful when the input is 0 - 5V and you want to know when the input is over-range.

To calibrate or adjust the voltage reference:

1.Connect the voltmeter ground to a GN D point on the Analog IN terminal strip . Make sure there are no other connections to the analog ground.

2.Connect the voltmeter ' + ' lead to U14, pin 6.

3.Adjust R5 for 5.00 VDC or other voltage as desired. D o not exceed 5.2 or go below 4. 8 volts.
