SCAD500L DISPLACEMENT MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

OPERATIONAL MANUAL
1) General:-
SCAD500L is a two Channel LVDT signal conditioner.
SCAD 500L uses a 128*64 pixel Graphics LCD display

On Line Data can be displayed in the following formats:-
- ASCII Format of 2 channels simultaneously.
- Graphical Display of user selectable any one channel.
- Peak Hold – Max / Min of 2 channels.
The data can be viewed on line in ASCII or Graphical Format during the experiment /
test. On completion of the test the user can go into the PEAK HOLD Menu and view Max
/ Min data of 2 channels simultaneously.
Voltages can be converted into user defined engineering units via the ax2+bx+c scaling
option.
All the menu settings and the Bridge Balance is stored in a built in NVRAM.
Menu settings can be password protected.

pot till the required range (+/-10v etc.,).

OPERATIONAL MANUAL
6) Calibration:-
There are two methods of calibration:-
1. Manual Calibration:
Fix the LVDT to be calibrated in the Calibration Test Rig as shown below

OPERATIONAL MANUAL
Now set the zero position of LVDT by rotating the micrometer head, the analog output
can be monitored on LCD or using Analog output terminals.
Move the LVDT by 2.5 mm –ve side and adjust the gain (vary GAIN A/B pot till the
output voltage becomes -9.999V.)
Take the analog output readings of corresponding displacements by rotating micro meter
as shown below and plot the graph in excel sheet.
There are two plots here: - 1. –ve values (-2.5mm to 0)

2. +ve values (0 to +2.5mm)
nd
Add trend line and get 2 order polynomial equations….
The equations are in the form of Y=ax^2+bx+c.

7) RS 232 Interface:-
The data can be interfaced to the host PC via the RS 232 Interface.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR STREAMING OF DATA, THE FRONT PANEL LCD SHOULD
BE IN DATA MODE AND THE DATA DISPLAYED ON THE LCD.
In case your PC does not have a RS 232 Port, install the USB to RS 232 Converter. The drivers
for the converter are available in the CD ROM.
To know the Port Settings, MY COMPUTER – CONTROL PANEL – SYSTEM – HARDWARE
–DEVICE MANAGER – HARDWARE – PORTS.
The Port should have the following settings:-

- Select the correct Com Port.
