2.1 Locate Required Parts and Information
The following items are required to set up an SC Series instrument with your
transducer:
• SC Series instrument
• Transducers that are to be connected to the instrument
• For each transducer to be connected to the instrument, a connecting cable.
This cable will have a 12-pin, green, plastic connector on one end and the
transducer’s mating connector on the other end. Usually, this cable is ordered
along with the instrument and transducer.
If the connecting cable was not ordered with the instrument, you may need to
make this cable.
• The transducer’s Calibration Record or Certificate of Calibration.
• The Customer Information Sheet that shipped with your instrument. This
sheet describes which cards are installed in each channel.
• Power cord for the instrument.
2.2 Connect the Transducer to the Correct Channel of the Instrument
For each transducer, attach its connecting cable to the transducer, and then to the
correct 12-pin channel-connector on the instrument.
The Customer Information Sheet indicates which serial numbered transducer is to
be connected to each channel of the instrument.
If the instrument and transducer(s) were not purchased with a connecting cable,
you may need to make this cable. For the transducer’s pin connections, see that
transducer’s calibration record. For the pin connections for that channel of the
instrument, see the appropriate chapter in this manual. For example, if you wish
to wire to a Strain-Gage Input Channel see the chapter “Strain-Gage Input Chan-
nel” on page 59.
