ACCESSORIES
The DSM-5 comes complete with the following accessories:
(1) Soft carrying case
(2) Test leads
(3) 9V alkaline battery
CALIBRATION
The DSM-5 comes calibrated with a Certificate of
Conformance. It is recommended that the meter calibration
be checked once per year. A Calibration Test Procedure will
be furnished upon request. Meters may be returned to CSI,
postage pre-paid, for calibration and certification at a
nominal charge. The meter contains no user adjustment
controls. If the meter is found to be out of calibration, it
must be returned to CSI, postage pre-paid, for servicing.
WARRANTY
All units warranted against defects in materials and
workmanship for 1 year from date of shipment. Liability is
expressly limited to servicing, adjusting, or replacing any CSI
product returned to our factory with delivery charges
prepaid. In no case shall our liability exceed the original
purchase price.
OPERATING THE DSM-5
To connect the test leads to the DSM-5, insert the appropriate
lead plug into the DSM-5 input jacks as indicated below:
Connect the DSM-5 to a synchro as follows. Connect R1 and
R2 leads to the corresponding rotor terminals R1, R2. Connect
S1, S2 and S3 leads to the corresponding stator terminals S1,
S2 and S3.
To turn on the DSM-5, set slide switch to either HI or LO range
position depending on which stator voltage to be measured.
LO position is used to measure 11.8VL-L voltages, HI position is
used to measure 90VL-L voltages. The meter will not be
damaged by the application of an over-voltage.
The meter does not contain an internal reference excitation
supply, therefore the synchro rotor voltage (R1-R2) must be
supplied from an external excitation source.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The heart of the DSM-5 is a 16 bit synchro to digital converter.
The reference input (R1-R2) and synchro stator (S1-S2-S3)
signals are combined creating a synthesized reference signal
that is in-phase with the stator signals. The synchro stator
signals are converted to sine and cosine voltages via a solid
state Scott-T circuit with high input impedance and is
insensitive to voltage and frequency variations. The sine and
cosine voltages are ratiometrically multiplied producing an
error signal that is demodulated using the synthesized
reference signal, allowing for up to ±45° of rotor to stator
phase shift without any degradation of accuracy. The
demodulated error signal is fed to an analog integrator, VCO
and 16 bit binary up/down counter that is fed back to the
sine/cosine multipliers creating a type II servo loop. The 16
bit binary angle is converted to a 5 decade BCD angle and
displayed on a 5 digit LCD display.
