Part II: Getting Started KD-2300 Instruction Manual

Connecting External Power Supply
The KD-2300 operates from a ± 15 Vdc power source. If your system
was not configured with a power supply, you will need to provide an
external power source.
The Kaman Model P-34XX power supplies are recommended, although
15 Volt regulated supplies are satisfactory. Use 24 AWG or heavier
insulated wires.
Connecting power to any other than the specified pins may cause
damage to the 2300 and / or power source. Output connections to
voltmeter, recorder, or oscilloscope should be made as noted in Figure 1.
1. Mount the sensor in its application fixture in either a
surface or flush mount.
2. Set the target in place for calibration.
3. Zero, Gain, and Linearity (Coarse and Fine) potentiometers are
located on the control panel on the front of the module. You can
adjust these using a screwdriver.
4. Determine whether your calibration will be full scale, bipolar output
or high accuracy band. Proceed to the appropriate page for full
instructions on the method you require.
All users, refer to Part 3: THE EQUIPMENT. Fixture conductivity,
conductive objects within sensor range, sensor diameter, and shielded
vs. unshielded sensor types are all determining factors of how the sensor
should be mounted.
Using a simulated fixture for mounting during calibration can affect the
adjustments for each channel. Whenever possible, use your application
fixture during calibration.
If you have more than one sensor or measuring channel in close
proximity, you may require sychronization. See Appendix B for more
information.
With a thorough knowledge of calibration controls and accurate
application of the calibration procedures described in Part 4:
CALIBRATION, you can achieve optimum results. Deviations or
shortcuts can result in operator-induced errors and may complicate,
rather than solve your measurement problems.
