Model 1003

Calibrating the unit is accomplished via membrane switches on the front panel, eliminating the need for internal trim pot adjustment. The user can calibrate the unit by simply entering the full scale endpoints, the zero position, and decimal point location. This allows a readout in inches, degrees, or other engineering units corresponding to the application. During the calibration, there are 6 user defined setpoints: two high, two low, and the high and low hysteresis points for the system. When the specified tolerances are exceeded, indicator lights are illuminated, providing a visual signal to the user. Optional relays, which correspond to the distinct set points, will add another level of automation to the user’s process. A tare function, which allows the meter to be zeroed anywhere along the transducer’s travel, is standard. This feature can be used to measure the deviation from a standard within the working range of the sensor.

The Model 1003 features a continuous analog output for use as an input to a control process or A/D converter. Optional RS232C Serial output is offered for direct connection to PC based data acquisition systems, eliminating the need for external signal conditioning. All connectors necessary for indicator operation are provided, as well as a complete instruction manual.
