CONNECTION TIPS
The +/– Excitation and +/– Signal
connections are used with mV/V output
sensors with the
+/– Excitation used to supply
power to the sensor.
The 24V output supply can be used to
power amplified sensors, such as our
amplified Rotary Torque sensors (for
instance the TRS605).

The decimal point can be moved by selecting it first and
turning it into a number, and then selecting another
digit to change it into a decimal point.
Sensitivity (+) must be entered. If only one direction is
selected, then sensitivity (+) will be applied to both directions
of output or negative direction output.
Sensitivity is the sensor’s output level, such as mV/V output,
and is found on the calibration certificate.
Pressing back without saving will prompt to exit without
saving. Enter can be used for Yes, and Back for No.
Current profiles cannot be set up manually and must be set up
using the Live Calibration feature in the profile setup.
Full bridge sensor type is for mV/V output sensors. Voltage
output and current output are for amplified inputs to the
IPM650.
Online sensor calibration data may be available by sensor
serial number at http://www.futek.com/CalibrationData.aspx
to assist in finding your sensor’s output or sensitivity.

TEDS and Channel Select
TEDS is a small chip that can store a sensor’s calibration infor-
mation. The IPM650 can read it upon power up, or by loading
it through the menu, and setup a profile with the stored
information.
TEDS calibration information can be viewed upon loading
TEDS, either during a power on or while selecting Load Data
under the TEDS menu.
The TEDS chip should be placed within 5ft. of the IPM650
sensor connection to maintain proper power. Typically the
TEDS chip is placed in the sensor binder connector.
An auto-calibration may be performed when loading TEDS
information, or a new channel or profile.

The default lockout password will be the serial number on
the back of the IPM650. The password can be changed to a
new numerical combination.
The LCD contrast and brightness can be set to maximum
and the levels can be saved as default for all future usage
of the IPM650.
Use the left and right arrow keys to increase or decrease
the brightness and contrast of the LCD display in the LCD
display setup menu.
A message stating, “Selected feature is not available at this
time,” will be displayed when profile control is
locked out.
Profile will be locked out when a system calibration at
FUTEK is performed.

Analog Output Quick Setup
Bi-polar and Uni-polar for voltage
configurations will determine if the
output would be ±5VDC for both
directional outputs from the sensor, or
map both directional outputs to +5VDC
with the zero at 2.5VDC.
Analog Low is set to zero load readings
and Analog High is set to the full
capacity of the sensor profile.
Uni-direction or Bi-direction for current
will determine if the current output range
is for the positive output of the sensor, or
if the zero should be shifted to allow the
selected current output range to adjust
for both directions from the sensor.
A Tare function will affect the reading
on the IPM650 as well as the Analog
Output.

Data logging is the ability to capture readings over a specified time period for later evaluation. The Data logging information
can be uploaded into the FUTEK SENSIT software and further exported into other programs, such as Microsoft Excel.

7. Action
8. Choose to Start or Stop data logging session
Data Logging

17
The IPM650 can store up to 21,000 data
logging points. Each point is a captured
reading.
The sampling rate used will be the
current sample per second setting in the
IPM650 when Full Speed is selected and
half the current set sampling rate when
Half Speed is selected.
The maximum data logging duration
will be the 21,000 data logging points
divided by the sampling rate used.
The data logging information is lost
when power is turned off on the IPM650.
At slower sampling it is possible to exit
the data logging menu to view a count-
down timer.
A check mark will be present next to
Action to show a data logging session is
active.
When the data logging session is
complete the IPM650 will display a
successful message and return to the
display screen.
Pressing stop before the end of a session
will result in the captured readings
overwriting the prior readings up till the
run time.
TIPS FOR USING DATA LOGGING

18
The IPM650 can be used with the FUTEK SENSIT software, which can be purchased separately or evaluated through a free trial
version available on the FUTEK website.
FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE IN SENSIT WITH THE
IPM650:
• Ability to see current reading in Display table
• Ability to upload, list, plot, and export data logging
information from the IPM650
• Ability to view, list, and export a live graphing session
• Ability to remotely control the IPM650 through a virtual
front panel
TO SETUP DATA LOGGING IN SENSIT FOR IPM650:
1. Data Logging Mode Tab
2. Settings
3. File Path
4. Start Test
In SENSIT the items that do not apply to the IPM650 will be
grayed out in the Data logging Settings.
Start Test will import the data logging information into
SENSIT.

The IPM650 should be turned on and
connected to the computer prior to
starting SENSIT.
USB output, under Interfaces in the
IPM650, should be enabled with a check
mark to confirm its operation.
