You can find it by using the search feature to search by the sensor serial number, model number, or item number. Also, a wiring calculator listing the connections to the CSG110 is available at http://www.futek.com/wirecode.

Voltage Setup Steps IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not connect the device to the power supply when the power supply is already on. 1. Set SW 1 down for 10 VDC excitation or up for 5 VDC excitation. By default the CSG110 is set to 10 VDC at FUTEK. 4. With no load on the sensor adjust the Zero potentiometer until the output voltage is as close to 0 VDC as possible. 2. Set the gain DIP switch (SW3) to the appropriate gain level. By default the gain is set with switch 4 up for a 2 mV/V sensor.
Current Setup Steps IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not connect the device to the power supply when the power supply is already on. 1. 2. The voltage output of the CSG110 is passed through a current converting phase. This means the prior Excitation and Gain setting steps of the voltage setup must be performed first. SW5 SW6 SW7 Input Range Output Range ▼ ▼ ▼ 0–10 V 4–20 mA ▼ ▼ ▲ 0–10 V 5–25 mA The configured voltage output will become the input range for the current conversion phase.
Current Setup Steps 3. With the sensor and CSG110 completely connected apply the 14 to 26 VDC power to the CSG110. 4. With no load on the sensor adjust the Zero potentiometer until the output current is as close to the zero load output level as possible. 5. With a known load placed on the sensor adjust the Span potentiometer to as close to the appropriate output level as possible. For example, 20 mA for a full load output. 6.
DIP Switch Description DIP Switch 1: Excitation DIP Switch 2: Polarity • The Excitation is the voltage supplied from the CSG110 to the sensor and can be 5 VDC or 10 VDC. • The polarity switch can be used to change the polarity of the incoming signal to the CSG110. • It is recommended to use a higher excitation, if applicable, as less gain will be needed which will reduce noise. • For example, if tension is negative it can be made positive through DIP Switch 2.
DIP Switch Description DIP Switch 3: Sensitivity (Gain) • The Sensitivy DIP switch controls the gain needed to obtain the desired output level from the CSG110. For example, ±10 VDC. SENSITIVITY SW3 Switch Position Sensitivity Switch Position Sensitivity 1 ▲ 0.5 mV/V 5 ▲ 2.5 mV/V ▼ N/A ▼ N/A ▲ 1 mV/V ▲ 3 mV/V ▼ N/A ▼ N/A ▲ 1.
DIP Switch Description DIP Switch 5, 6, and 7: Current Setting • The voltage output from the CSG110 is passed through a current conversion phase. As a result the current output range is based on the voltage output level, (Input Range), from the CSG110.
Shunt Resistor A Shunt is used to simulate a load on the sensor by using an internal resistor labeled ‘RSH’ on the CSG110 circuit board. The resistor will be connected to the –Excitation and –Signal of the sensor when the shunt button is pressed. The internal resistor can be removed and replaced. To perform a shunt, press the white SHUNT button with no load on the load cell. D Calibrating using Shunt: 1. 2.

Troubleshooting Tips To prevent damage, make sure all connections to the CSG110 are completed before turning on the power to the CSG110. It is best to troubleshoot the CSG110 and the sensor when both are completely removed from the application and fixtures. Utilizing a voltmeter instead of an instrument or PLC will help narrow down the challenge. If another CSG110 or sensor is available, a swap may help confirm where the challenge arises. The CSG110 outputs a consistent high voltage or current. 1.
Troubleshooting Tips The CSG110 has no output or low, non-changing output. 1. Confirm the power to the CSG110 is between 14 and 26 VDC. 2. Confirm there is not a short on the sensor side to the CSG110. Using a voltmeter, the resistance can be confirmed in the sensor ±Excitation and ±Signal connections for any possible shorts. 3.
