Series 8000 Systems
The Series 8000 is a modular packaging system for Kaman Instrumentations line of inductive
displacement transducer electronics. The Series 8000 enclosures integrate various measuring
channels, function cards, power supplies, and displays into a coherent application specific
industrial package. Sensors for the measuring channels are available that measure
displacements in the microinch/nanometer ranges as well as sensors that can make accurate
displacement measurements at up to 1000oF. Function cards are available that can take the
displacement measurement and process the signal to measure ID, OD,runout, or out of
tolerance conditions. The versatility and flexibility of the 8000 system is virtually endless.
This manual is designed to help put it all together for the specific system you have purchased.

Getting Started Quickly
The Series 8000 rack systems are typically prewired and set up at the factory with all
measuring channels and function cards installed. To get started with the 8000 system you will
need to:
aInstall the sensors in the application or cal fixture
bConnect the sensors to the enclosure (see page 30)
cConnect the power cord and turn on the unit
dIf you have a display see page 32
eIf you have no display see page 29 on back panel I/O
As with any complex electronics system you should thoroughly familiarize yourself with all
manuals dealing with the product. Included with the system are the appropriate manuals for
any measuring channels and function cards purchased. Please refer to these manuals for
specific information.
Warning: The integral power supply in racks utilize high voltage
(120 or 240VAC). Unplug the unit before servicing.

Series 8000 Enclosures
Subracks
The subrack is a 19" wide frame having solid side panels and horizontal rails across the top
and bottom to hold the system modules in place. Use of a subrack enables you to install your
Series 8000 system into a standard 19" test equipment rack, or bolt it into a NEMA enclosure.
The subrack has a built in 120VAC/240VAC selectable power supply to provide +/-15VDC at 1
amp. The subrack also can be configured with either one or two MCD 8000 display modules
that have up to six selectable inputs. The display modules draw no current from the +/-15 volt
supply.

The instrument case is a fully enclosed stand-alone enclosure for your series 8000 system with
a tilt bar to elevate the front of the case. The subrack has a built in 120VAC/240VAC
selectable power supply to provide +/-15VDC at 500 milliamp. The subrack also can be
configured with either one or two MCD 8000 display modules that have up to six
selectable inputs. The display modules draw no current from the +/-15DC volt supply.

NEMA
The NEMA 12 configuration is an 8"x8"x4" continuous hinge enclosure. It can contain either 1
or 2 synchronized measuring channels and an optional function card. An optional integral
power supply and/or display is available. In the NEMA the modules do not have separate
enclosures. This configuration is not described further in this manual, please refer to the NEMA
manual PN 860060 for further information on the NEMA enclosure.

Integral Power Supply
Warning: The integral power supply in racks utilize high voltage
(120 or 240VAC). Unplug the unit before servicing.
The power supply for the series 8000 rack enclosures are integral to the chassis and mounted
on the back panel for better heat dissipation. All of the Series 8000 power supplies provide a
+/-15VDC+/-.5V linear regulated output for low noise operation. The available current is
500mA per side in the 1/2 and 3/4 rack configurations and 1A per side in full rack
configurations. Most measuring channels and function cards from Kaman typically draw less
than 70mA per side. When adding additional function cards or measuring channels to the unit
you should check on the actual current amount by referring to the specifications on each module
and adding up the total current draw from the power supply. For example, if you had 10
measuring channels you should allow for the supply to be able to handle 700mA (full rack
configuration). The MCD-8000 or other 1/8 DIN display modules are powered directly off the
AC input and therefore draw no current from the integral supplies. The power supply
specifications are summarized in table 1 below:

Input Voltage Selection (120VAC/240VAC)
Warning: When you change the input voltage on the rear panel
you must also change the MCD 8000 input voltage
or you may damage the unit.
Warning: The integral power supply in racks utilize high voltage
(120 or 240VAC). Unplug the unit before servicing.
To change the input voltage you must first select the proper input voltage on the power entry
module on the unit. To change the selected voltage:
aOpen the cover using a small blade screwdriver or similar tool. Set aside
the cover/fuse block assembly and pull the voltage selector card straight
out of the housing. See fig. 9 on accessing the voltage selector card.
fig. 8 -- Power Entry Module;
fig. 9 -- Accessing the Voltage Selector Card;

bUsing the indicator pin orient the selector card so that the desired
voltage is readable at the bottom. Orient the indicator pin to point up
when the desired voltage is readable at bottom ( note that when indicator
pin is fixed, successive voltages are selected by rotating the card 90o
clockwise). See fig. 10 for voltage selector orientation.
cInsert voltage selector card into housing with printed side of card facing
toward IEC connector and edge containing the desired voltage first.
Replace cover and verify that indicator pin shows the desired voltage.
