4Important Information for IPM650
4.1 Performance
The IPM650 is a microcontroller based digital panel meter that monitors the activity of a vast range of
sensors. This includes Wheatstone bridge strain gauge and amplified output Torque/ Force/ Pressure/
Displacement sensors. All of the measurements are based on a high accuracy, low noise, 24 bit resolution,
Analog to Digital Converter with a non-linearity of 0.001%, and a temperature coefficient factor of less
than 5 PPM (zero and span drift). All analog components, not only the ones that provide the
requirements for ADC, such as reference voltage, but also the ones which are employed for analog
output, excitation voltage, and input/output buffers are low noise, low distortion, low temperature
coefficient, and high precision/accuracy parts. The combination of these components, along with a high
speed micro-controller integrated with a precision DAC controller has provided a high accuracy
instrument, which is able to measure the activity of a 2 mV/V sensor with up to a 500,000 count (total)
noise free base! The high precision DAC controller has been exploited to provide a ±5 V output with 100
μV resolution and/or (0-25mA) current output with a 0.5 μA resolution. A wide range of bridge
resistances and input/output impedances of external instruments can be applied to this device without
any lack of performance.
The IPM650 accepts amplified voltage input (±12 VDC), current input (up to 30 mA), and bridge input
(up to 500 mV/V), and has the capability to provide power to FUTEK rotary torque sensors (24 VDC/ 1 W
and 5 VDC/ 0.05 W).
4.2 Product Introduction

oManipulating method: Entering the sensitivity
Ability to measure bridge resistance
Automated sensitivity calculation based on calibration value
Dual scaling calculation for bi-directional sensors
Selectable units of measure for Force, Torque, Pressure, and Displacement with automatic
conversion of units between readings
Selectable sampling rate from 5 samples per second to an ultra-fast signal sampling rate of 4800
samples per second with 16 different speeds
Selectable moving average method for software filtering
Peak/ Valley and First Peak/ First Valley functions
Manual and auto peak/valley reset functions
Tare/ Gross functions with indicator
Tracking/Hold functions with indicator

5Connector & Wiring Diagram
* Sensor cable shield should only be grounded on one end, either the sensor side or the instrument side, to avoid
potential ground loops. If connected on instrument side use the following directions: Connect shield to pin 1 or pin
2 of Amplified Input if sensor is amplified. Connect shield to pin 1 of Strain Gauge Input if sensor is strain gauge.
