Analog Signal Conditioner
AD-4541-V (Voltage output type),AD-4541-I (Current output type)
Instruction Manual
1. Outline
AD-4541-V and AD-4541-I are analog signal conditioners utilizing a load cell or strain gauge as sensor input and converts signals
such as mass, acceleration, pressure and torque at the signal level, to an output suitable for a PLC or PC analog input.
The conditioners can be mounted on a DIN rail or on the wall.

5. Installation
•Mounting on the DIN rail
Using the accessory screwdriver, push out the DIN rail mounting spring located at the
bottom of the casing and secure the casing on the DIN rail.
•Using the screws
Using the holes on four corners, the casing can be secured on the wall with the screws.
6. Cable connection
Caution: Before cable connection, be sure to turn the power off.
Insert the accessory screwdriver perpendicularly into the terminal block as shown in the
illustration to the right, until stopped. At this time, do not rotate or twist the screwdriver.
The screwdriver, when inserted firmly, stands alone.
With the screwdriver inserted, insert the cable and pull out the screwdriver to connect the cable.
To disconnect the cable, insert the screwdriver and pull out the cable.
Remove the insulation from the cable tip to expose cables 5 to 6 mm long. Twist the cables
lightly and connect to the terminal block. (See the illustration below.)
7. Calibration
(1) Zero adjustment
With no load on the sensor, use the zero adjustment control to adjust the conditioner so that the analog output will be the zero point.
(2) Span adjustment
With load on the sensor, use the span adjustment control to adjust theconditioner so that the analog output will be the designated value.
If no load is to be applied to the sensor, use the CAL switch to add a pseudo value of 1 mV/V to the input and make an adjustment.
* Repeating the above adjustments several times will improve the accuracy.
8. Precautions
•Install the conditioner securely so that it is free from vibrations and impact.
•Be sure to turn the power off before cable connection.
•Keep the interior free of dust and foreign materials. They may cause the damage to the conditioner.
•When connecting cables or operating the controls and CAL switch, use the accessory screwdriver.
•When operating the controls and CAL switch, be sure to insert the screwdriver perpendicularly. Inserting the screwdriver with a tilt
may cause a short circuit.
•The zero adjustment and span adjustment controls have a maximum number of revolutions of 15. Do not rotate them more than
necessary.
•Do not disassemble or modify the conditioner. It may cause the damage to the conditioner.
•Avoid condensation during operation and storage.
•Do not immerse the conditioner in water.
