3.1.6. Resistor Type Transducer Connection
The CT-8000 provides one channel for resistor type transducers. The transducer resistance
input can range from 200 Ohms to 10K Ohms. The CT-8000 supplies a 5 Vdc reference voltage
to power the resistor type transducer. The sense voltage is translated into a travel distance
based on the transducer calibration parameters. The user is required to setup the resistor
transducer before performing a test. Up to nine transducer setups can be stored in the CT-
8000’s internal memory. Once a transducer setup is stored, it can be recalled quickly before
running a test. A typical resistor type transducer connection is shown in Figure 10.
NOTES
• When a resistor type transducer is used, the test results are shown as travel
transducer channel 1 (see Figure 17).
• A 15-foot transducer cable with 3 quick disconnect clips is provided with each CT-
8000. The 3 clips are labeled “+5V”, “Signal”, and “GND”.
• See section 3.2.11 for resistor type transducer calibration information.
