3. Introduction
This manual describes the features and installation procedures for the E3907 with firmware version 3.
3.1 Brief description
The E3907 is a DC measuring amplifier for passive or active sensors. A flexible data logger can store up to 3000
measured values with time and date. Mobile operation is possible by battery or accu operation, however, it can also
be operated with a power unit. Measuring or logging values are transmitted via an RS-232 interface to a pc or
printer. 10 parameter sets for sensors are available. There, in each case, the calibration data , the sensor
designation and the physical unit are being stored. Functions such as tare, min./max.-recall and min./max.-delete
are available during the measurement procedure. Via a trigger input the data logger or the interface can be
controlled externally.
If the E3907is being delivered with one or more sensors, these sensors will be in-calibrated to the E3907 and are
immediately ready for operation. An assignment of sensors to the corresponding parameter set is documented on
the rear of the device
3.2 Power supply
Mains operation:
Power supply: 6V DC, min. 1,8A
Fuse: Self-reset-able fuse 1,5A
Under-Overcut: Can cause measurement errors or defects.
Stress peaks: Be derived using protection components.
Voltage dropouts: Voltage dropouts up to 10ms are without consequences.
Warning:
Remove batteries when using external power supply!
The E3907 must only be used with ground reference voltage supplies, switching power supplies without earth
reference can cause measurement errors.

Adjustments in the SCI Mode
SCI OFF: At this adjustment a transfer of measured values from the E3907 is disabled. The E3907 can be
controlled however with the E3907-commands.
HAND: In this mode a measured value is issued via the serial interface when the Enter key is pressed at the E3907.
AUTO: In this mode a measured value is issued via the serial interface in the adjusted delay
TRIGGER: At a trigger event In this mode, a measured value is written in the logger. Since the trigger pulses may
occur in 10ms raster and additional time-logg is not possible. The flank of the trigger pulse must be on HIGH for at
least 4ms. Then it must be on LOW for at least 6ms.
WINDOW: This mode reacts to increasing, respectively decreasing flanks. With a decreasing flank the logging of
the measured values is started. Now the measured values are written in the data logger in 1ms raster. A decreasing
flank ends the recording.
4.6.4 Operation and function principle of the E3907-Data Logger
The data logger can, if the E3907 is not in the measuring mode, be read by the menu option 2,7 LOGG - SENDING
or by the command "A" via the interface. Outside of the measuring mode the data logger is deleted only by the
menu option 2,7 LOGG - DELETION.
If the E3907 is in the measuring mode, the data logger can be read with the command "A" and be deleted with the
command "B".
If the measuring mode is being switched on from the menu option 1MEASURING-sensor selection,
the starting time of the measurement, the current sensor designation, the final value of the measuring range, the
adjusted measuring rate and the logger mode (e.g.: AUTO 1ms) are saved in the logger.
NOTE: All previous measured values are deleted here!
With the read-out of the data logger via the serial interface different adjustments are sent from the E3907.
a) Company header
b) Starting time of the measurement
c) Sensor designation
d) Final display value
e) Adjusted measuring rate
f) Adjusted logger mode
g) Thereafter the measured values
In the HAND MODE the measured values are always logged with the time. The measured value is logged at the
data in the AUTOMODE. A time can be assigned to each measured value by the indicated starting time.
Since in GRAPHS and in the WINDOW MODE trigger events smaller than 1sec can occur, an additional time log is
not possible.
Adjustments in the Logg Mode
LOGG OUT: Here the data logger is switched off. The logg mode in the measuring mode is switched to "LOGG
OUT" as soon as the entire data logger has been edited.
HAND: In this mode a measured value is written into the data logger when the enter key was pressed at the
E3907. By an additional logg of time, there is a time assignment for each measured value.
AUTO : In this mode in the adjusted Delay a measured value is written into the data logger. By the stored
starting time there is a time assignment for each measured value.
GRAPH: In this mode at a trigger event a measured value is written into the logger. Since the trigger pulses
occur in 10ms raster, an additional logg of the time is not possible. The flank of the trigger pulse must
stand on HIGH for 4ms at least. Afterwards on LOW for at least 6ms.

WINDOW: This mode reacts to increasing and/or decreasing flanks. At an increasing flank the logging of the
measured values is started. From now on the measured values are written in the data logger with
1ms raster. A decreasing flank ends the recording LOGG OUT.
4.7 Calibration
4.7.1 Calibrate the active sensor with control (ACT wCON)
Calibration possibilities:
- After pressing the ENTER key, the automatic calibration begins. The device will read the 0% Load value and
display WARM UP. After that the 100% Load value will be read and the device will display WARM UP. After the
WARM UP is finished the device will display SAFE?. Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to reject.
4.7.2 Calibrate the active sensor without control (ACT nCON)
Calibration:
- measure 0% Load and measure 100% Load
- measure 0% Load and enter the difference [100% Load in V – 0% Load in V]
- enter 0% Load in V and enter difference [100% Load in V – 0% Load in V]
Press key or and choose between 0% Load or Sensitivity
0% Load - Relieve sensor from load
or Sensitivity - Enter the value fort the sensitivity in V
Press Key or and choose between 100% Load or Sensitivity
100% Load -Calibrate with 100% Load
or Sensitivity - Enter the value for the sensitivity in V
SAFE - Accept calibration values
4.7.3 Calibrate the passive sensor with control (ACT wCON)
Calibration:
The device will read the 0% Load value and display WARM UP. After that the 100% Load value will be read and the
device will display WARM UP. After the WARM UP is finished the device will display SAFE?. Press ENTER to
confirm or ESC to reject.
4.7.4 Calibrate the passive sensor without control (ACT nCON)
Calibration:
- measure 0% Load and measure 100% Load
- measure 0% Load and enter 100% Load in mV/V
- enter 0% Load in mV/V and enter 100% Load in mV/V
Press key or and choose between 0% Load or Sensitivity
0% Load -Relieve sensor from load
or Sensitivity - Enter the value fort the sensitivity in V
