Introduction
PS-1020 Analog Transmitters are electronic devices utilizing
solid-state integrated components. They provide the user with
a selectable voltage or current output directly proportional to
the input signal within a specified linearity.
Description
The transmitters are intended for field mounting close to the
vessel site, thereby reducing installation costs. An integral
20-connector terminal strip provides connections for up to
four transducers, thus eliminating the need for a separate
summing junction box.
Two screw type terminal strips provide connections for the
supply voltage, transducer wiring, and analog outputs.
The zero and span adjustments for the analog outputs are
accomplished with two sets of dip-switches and trim pots.
The units also include an adjustable filter which can be used to
stabilize the output. Filtering is used to minimize the effects of
vibration caused by agitators or other devices.
The standard packaging is an ABS plastic DIN-Rail mounted
enclosure.
The transmitters are available with an optional 24 Vdc power
supply enabling the unit to be operated with 115 Vac.
For additional information, please refer to Section 3.

TB1
The PS-1020 is designed to be installed in the field close to the vessel. Terminal strip TB1 provides connections
for up to four transducers, thereby eliminating the need for a separate summing junction box.
NOTE: Some transducer manufacturers utilize a 6-conductor cable (+/- Sense leads). When using these type of
transducers, the + Sense lead must be connected to the + Excitation terminal and the - Sense lead must be
connected to the - Excitation terminal.

Prior to calibrating the instrument perform the following calculations.
This will enable you to determine where the dip-switches should be
positioned for zero and span. Obtain the capacity and full scale
output of the transducer/s from the calibration certificates.
If required, convert them into the engineering units being used in
the system.
Use the above values in the following formulas to determine
the zero and span mV values.
Multiply the full scale mV/V output of the transducer/s by
the excitation voltage to obtain mV.
Example: 3.0 mV/V x 10 Vdc = 30 mV.
Zero (mV) = Z x O / C
Z = Tare weight (vessel, agitator, etc)
O = Full scale output in mV
C = Total capacity of the transducers.
Set the zero adjustment dip-switches so the calculated value is
within the minimum/maximum mV ranges given in Table 1 (page 9).
Span (mV) = S x O / C
S = Net weight (live or product weight)
O = Full scale output in mV
C = Total capacity of the transducers.
Set the span dip-switches so the calculated value is within the
minimum and maximum mV ranges given in Table 2 (page 10).
Sample calculation:
Three 1000 kg load cells, output = 3.0 mV/V
Tare weight = 500 kg.
Net weight = 2000 kg.
3.0 mV/V x 10 Vdc = 30 mV
Zero (mV) 500 kg x 30 mV / 3,000 kg = 5 mV
Table 1 dip-switch setting = Off, On, Off, Off (3.0 to 5.5 mV)
Span (mV) 2000 kg x 30 mV / 3,000 kg = 20 mV
Table 2 dip-switch setting = On, On, On, On (15.2 to 24.7 mV)

Calibration Procedure
Remove the metal cover to expose the dip-switches, jumpers
and trim pots as shown in Figure 2 below.
Set the zero and span dip-switches so the calculated values are
within the minimum and maximum mV ranges given in Tables 1
and 2.
Position jumper J1 for current or voltage output. See Figure 2.
Connect a digital multi-meter to terminal strip TB2
terminals 21 and 23 for current output or to
terminals 22 and 23 for voltage output.
Apply power to the unit and allow a couple of minutes for
the transmitter to warm up before making any adjustments.
Remove any weight from the system and adjust the fine zero
trim pot for a reading 0 Vdc or 4 mA. Turn the trim pot
clockwise to increase the output, or counter-clockwise to
decrease the output.
