General Description
1
Model C10032-000 Signal Follower Card
is designed to handle a multitude of
applications where signal conditioning is
required without input to output isolation.
Voltage signals from 0 to 1 VDC through
0 to 100 VDC can be accepted on the
input and calibrated for 0 to 10 VDC or 4
to 20 mA on the output. Current signals
such as 1 to 5 mA or 4 to 20 mA can also
be used as inputs and converted to 0 to 10
VDC or 4 to 20 mA on the output output.
A +15 VDC supply is available on the
input terminal strip to source as 10,000
Ohm potentiometer which can also be
used as an input reference source.
Positive or negative inputs can be applied
to the C10032-000 Signal Follower Card.
The polarity of the output will be the same
as the input signal. A terminal is also
provided for an optional Summing Input.
The Summing Input is inverted and
summed with the main input to modify the
output.
Calibration is made simple by the use of
three board-mounted multi-turn pots. The
OFFSET pot sets the null point with
minimum input from the reference source.
The BIAS pot sets the minimum output
level desired with minimum input. The
GAIN pot sets the maximum output-level
when maximum input is received from the
reference source.
An optional external Trim potentiometer
can be used to trim the output manually or
via a dancer. An on board single turn Trim
Range pot sets the range of trim available
from the external Trim pot.

Adjustment Procedure

TB2-1 and 2 should be used for the
output. Position I selects the current
mode output and terminals TB2-1
and 3 should be used as the output.
•With minimum input signal on TB1-
4, 5, OR 6, adjust the Gain pot full
clockwise (approximately 20 turns).
Adjust the Offset pot for 0.0 VDC at
TB2-5. Turn the Gain pot full
counterclockwise (approximately 20
turns).
•Adjust the Bias pot for the desired
minimum output at TB2-1 with input
signal at minimum.
•Increase the input signal at TB1-4, 5,
or 6 to maximum. Adjust the Gain
pot for the maximum desired output
at TB2-1.
•The unit is now ready for operation.
NOTE: All voltage readings are made
with respect to circuit common, TB1-7,
TB2-2 or TP1.
•Connect the unit per Connection
Diagram C10073.
•If a Trim pot. is connected to TB2-5,
6 & 7, adjust it to full clockwise.
Adjust the Trim Range pot as
follows to set the desired range of
adjustment for the Trim pot.
Trim Range setting Trim Pot Range
Full CCW 0 to 100%

Standard Terms & Conditions of Sale
1. General
The Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale of Carotron, Inc. (here-
inafter called “Company”) are set forth as follows in order to give the
