10 DESCRIPTION
11 GENERAL
The ELD Wind Tunnel Instrwnentation System is a complete basic instrument package that has been designed for use with subsonic wind tunnels in undergraduate student laboratories The functions of the system include the measurements of lift and drag forces static and dynamic pressures and the reporting of the strcamwise and vertical position (X and Y coordinales) of a uaversing probe The system consists of three major components the dynamometer assembly the probe traversing assembly and the meter cabmet These are depicted in figure L Please note that the meter is intended to be used with a ptobe traversing assembly supplied with a previous order
12 METER CABINET
The cabinet contains a printed circuit board DC power supply five (5) DC voltage digital panel meters two (2) signat conditioner cards (lift and dJag the pressure selector valve zero and span potentiomelers) and the pressure transducer The five (5) digital readouts zero and spm adjustment potentiometers and pressure selector valve arc mounted on the front panel (Fig 2)
The main power input onoff switch signa cable connectors and multi-tube bulkhead cormector are mounted on the back pane as depicted in figure 3
Analog output signals (simultaneous from all five modes) are available through the 15 pin D-Sub socket connector located in the cemer of the meter back panel shown in figure 3 The output through this connector is the same value as that displayed by the digital meter Figure 6 contains the pin out identifier for this connector
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components Therefore the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are pmvided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
13 PHESSURE TRANSDUCER
AD MKS Baratronreg Series 200 (Model No 223B-2287T) Pressure Transducer is used This transducer employs variable capacitance technology The transducer contains a tensioned metal diaphragm One side of the diaphragm is exposed to the gas whose pressure is to be measared The other (reference) side IS adjacent to an electrode assembly The diaphragm deflects with changing differential pressure causing a capacitance change between the diaphragm and the adjacent electrode assembly The electrode serves as an overpressure stop when inlet pressure exceeds sensor Full Scale value (up to 20 psia or 120 FS whichevers greater) and also has a built-in overpressure stop on the inlet side for overpressure protection from the reference side
Pressure signals are acquired fiom the test item via small bore tubing The selector valve connects one of up to 9 signals (including TOTAL pressure) to the transducer capsule The digital meter displays the pressure in whatever uoits the transducer amplifier circuit is calibrated to output The circuit can be calibrated to provide a direct readout of either inches ofwater or Pascals The range of the transducer is 0 to WG
The pressure transducer should be recalibrated by the manufacturer on a yearly basis Arrangements sbould be made directly with the manufacturer
Please consult the manufacturers documentation for additional information and specifications

14 DYNAMOMETER ASSEMBLY
141 MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
The dynamometer is a two component force balance employed to measure aerodynamic lift and drag torces It is arranged to mount on the external floor of the test section The apparatus USBS (wo (2) pairs of restrained cantilevered beams separated by spacer blocks for each axis Forces generated by the model under test are conveyed to the dynamometer via a stiff strut and result in the deflection of the beam assemblies These deflections are proportional (within range) to the magnitude of the applied forces The det1ection of each beam assembly is sensed by a Linear Voltage Displacement Transducer (LVDT) The armature moves with the deflecting beam and the core is fixed to the base block but adjustable for zeroing Output signals from the LVDT are demodulated and amplified by signal conditioning circuits The resulting DC voltages represent the direction and magnimde of the applied forces and may be calibrated to readout in any desired engineering units pounds force Newtons etc A shrOUd shiclds the major portion of the force strut from the airstream as shown in Fig 1
142 SIGNAL CONDITIONING
The meier cabinet is supplied with two (2) Lucas Schaevizl (A1odel LVM 110) LVDT voltage modules The LVM 110 Module is a DC-powered LVDT signal conditioner consisting of a carrier oscillator AC amplifier demodulator filter and DC amplifier Excitation is selectable by a plug-in jumper and can be 5kHz or 10kHz The LI1111 0 is designed for either plug-in installation (with enclosed card edge connector) or 10 point wire wrap (erminals It can be monnted or stacked by pennanently attached threaded stand-offs Or by PC card edge guides
There are four (4) plug-in jumper selectable ranges to scale the full range output of the LVDT to a plusmnlOVDC output The span potentiometer allows adjustment ofthe signal displayed on the panel meter(s)
The board mounted zero control provides a volt (=20) range (R22)
To reduce the level of olectronic noise between the two LVDTs the MasterSlave Confignration is used to synchronize the output signals from each oscillator One card is selected as the Master that then sends a SYNC signal to the slaved LVM 110 cards SYNC terminals (pin I) of aU LVM cards must be connected for masterislave operation
The user is urged to read the LVM 110 1mb-lIelion Manuai booklet that aecompanies this documentation The factory settings of the cards are denoted below

30 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
31 GENERAL
The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage signal from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiometer will yield a voltage in the range of 5 VDC representing the value of the desired engineering units
The front panel of the meter is equipped with six (6) potentiometers fitted with turns counters and lever locks Each is located under the display ofthe fculction served
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are provided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
The decimal point for each display is adjusted by moving the position of a jumper (JP I through JP5) The jumpers are located at the front end of the printed circuit board near the ribbon cable connector that leads to the conespondlng output Moving to the left positions the decimal point closer to the left side ofthe display
NOTE The amount of resolution available from the meter display is a function of the units that the various outputs are calibrated in For example LIFT can be displayed in units of Ibsf Newtons or kilograms with 1936 Ibs being equivalent to 88 kg or 8632 Newtons The readouts used are 4 of dIgits They will display a value up to 9999 In
~ this case a calibration in kilograms will provide 3 digits of resolution XXXX However ifNetons are chosen then only two digits of resolution will be available (XXXX) Therefore the units that yield a suitable resolution for the measurements performed must be chosen
32 TWO COMPONENT DYNAM01VlETER
321 GEgtIERAL
The assembly has been calibrated (in grams) prior to shipping (calibration data provided at end of this manual) The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiomeler will yield a voltage in the range of plusmnIO VDC representing the value ofthe desired engineering units
Each signal conditioning board features a potentiometer for GAIN adjustment (RI3) (please refer to pg 6 of the L VMshy110 Instructions) This potentiometer is mounted onto the enclosure front cabinet 2) The Gain potentiometers will be used in conjunction with the brass thumbwheels ofthe dynamometer for calibration
A fixture or bench surface allowing the dynamometer to be mounted in two orientations and a weight set are required for calibration (refer to Fig 4)
322 Ln COMPONENT
Remove the dynamometer j1om the tesr section Secure it to the calibration fixture or clamp the unit LO a bench so that the strut and shroud exleod beyond the edge of the bench as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the L1FT readout Adjust the LIFT LjDT core thttmbwheel until the voltmeter display reads 00(0
6
3 Load the LIFT beams with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 15 Ibs) Adjust the LIFT Gain potentiometer so that the digital display yields the magnitude of the des ired units (ie Ibsf or Newtons)
4 Remove weights Verity zero If necessary adjust the LIFT thumbwheel so that the display reads 0000
5 Reload the weights used in step 3 If necessary adjust the SPAN potentiometer Repeat steps 3 through 5 until ZERO is verified
6 Detenmine the slope and intercept of the calibration curve by applying decreasing loads of known weights Record and graphically plot the results of known weight versus digital display
323 DRAG COMPONENT
1 Remount the dynamometer on the calibration fixture or bench so that the drag beams may be gravity loaded (ie so that the strut is horizontal) as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the DRAG readout Adjust the DRAG LVDT core thumbwheel until the display reads 0000
3 Load the dynamometer with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 8 Ibs) Adjust the DRAG Gain potentiometer following the same procedure described above in steps 3 through 6 for the Lift Component
33 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
331 GENERAL

10 DESCRIPTION
11 GENERAL
The ELD Wind Tunnel Instrwnentation System is a complete basic instrument package that has been designed for use with subsonic wind tunnels in undergraduate student laboratories The functions of the system include the measurements of lift and drag forces static and dynamic pressures and the reporting of the strcamwise and vertical position (X and Y coordinales) of a uaversing probe The system consists of three major components the dynamometer assembly the probe traversing assembly and the meter cabmet These are depicted in figure L Please note that the meter is intended to be used with a ptobe traversing assembly supplied with a previous order
12 METER CABINET
The cabinet contains a printed circuit board DC power supply five (5) DC voltage digital panel meters two (2) signat conditioner cards (lift and dJag the pressure selector valve zero and span potentiomelers) and the pressure transducer The five (5) digital readouts zero and spm adjustment potentiometers and pressure selector valve arc mounted on the front panel (Fig 2)
The main power input onoff switch signa cable connectors and multi-tube bulkhead cormector are mounted on the back pane as depicted in figure 3
Analog output signals (simultaneous from all five modes) are available through the 15 pin D-Sub socket connector located in the cemer of the meter back panel shown in figure 3 The output through this connector is the same value as that displayed by the digital meter Figure 6 contains the pin out identifier for this connector
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components Therefore the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are pmvided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
13 PHESSURE TRANSDUCER
AD MKS Baratronreg Series 200 (Model No 223B-2287T) Pressure Transducer is used This transducer employs variable capacitance technology The transducer contains a tensioned metal diaphragm One side of the diaphragm is exposed to the gas whose pressure is to be measared The other (reference) side IS adjacent to an electrode assembly The diaphragm deflects with changing differential pressure causing a capacitance change between the diaphragm and the adjacent electrode assembly The electrode serves as an overpressure stop when inlet pressure exceeds sensor Full Scale value (up to 20 psia or 120 FS whichevers greater) and also has a built-in overpressure stop on the inlet side for overpressure protection from the reference side
Pressure signals are acquired fiom the test item via small bore tubing The selector valve connects one of up to 9 signals (including TOTAL pressure) to the transducer capsule The digital meter displays the pressure in whatever uoits the transducer amplifier circuit is calibrated to output The circuit can be calibrated to provide a direct readout of either inches ofwater or Pascals The range of the transducer is 0 to WG
The pressure transducer should be recalibrated by the manufacturer on a yearly basis Arrangements sbould be made directly with the manufacturer
Please consult the manufacturers documentation for additional information and specifications

30 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
31 GENERAL
The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage signal from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiometer will yield a voltage in the range of 5 VDC representing the value of the desired engineering units
The front panel of the meter is equipped with six (6) potentiometers fitted with turns counters and lever locks Each is located under the display ofthe fculction served
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are provided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
The decimal point for each display is adjusted by moving the position of a jumper (JP I through JP5) The jumpers are located at the front end of the printed circuit board near the ribbon cable connector that leads to the conespondlng output Moving to the left positions the decimal point closer to the left side ofthe display
NOTE The amount of resolution available from the meter display is a function of the units that the various outputs are calibrated in For example LIFT can be displayed in units of Ibsf Newtons or kilograms with 1936 Ibs being equivalent to 88 kg or 8632 Newtons The readouts used are 4 of dIgits They will display a value up to 9999 In
~ this case a calibration in kilograms will provide 3 digits of resolution XXXX However ifNetons are chosen then only two digits of resolution will be available (XXXX) Therefore the units that yield a suitable resolution for the measurements performed must be chosen
32 TWO COMPONENT DYNAM01VlETER
321 GEgtIERAL
The assembly has been calibrated (in grams) prior to shipping (calibration data provided at end of this manual) The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiomeler will yield a voltage in the range of plusmnIO VDC representing the value ofthe desired engineering units
Each signal conditioning board features a potentiometer for GAIN adjustment (RI3) (please refer to pg 6 of the L VMshy110 Instructions) This potentiometer is mounted onto the enclosure front cabinet 2) The Gain potentiometers will be used in conjunction with the brass thumbwheels ofthe dynamometer for calibration
A fixture or bench surface allowing the dynamometer to be mounted in two orientations and a weight set are required for calibration (refer to Fig 4)
322 Ln COMPONENT

10 DESCRIPTION
11 GENERAL
The ELD Wind Tunnel Instrwnentation System is a complete basic instrument package that has been designed for use with subsonic wind tunnels in undergraduate student laboratories The functions of the system include the measurements of lift and drag forces static and dynamic pressures and the reporting of the strcamwise and vertical position (X and Y coordinales) of a uaversing probe The system consists of three major components the dynamometer assembly the probe traversing assembly and the meter cabmet These are depicted in figure L Please note that the meter is intended to be used with a ptobe traversing assembly supplied with a previous order
12 METER CABINET
The cabinet contains a printed circuit board DC power supply five (5) DC voltage digital panel meters two (2) signat conditioner cards (lift and dJag the pressure selector valve zero and span potentiomelers) and the pressure transducer The five (5) digital readouts zero and spm adjustment potentiometers and pressure selector valve arc mounted on the front panel (Fig 2)
The main power input onoff switch signa cable connectors and multi-tube bulkhead cormector are mounted on the back pane as depicted in figure 3
Analog output signals (simultaneous from all five modes) are available through the 15 pin D-Sub socket connector located in the cemer of the meter back panel shown in figure 3 The output through this connector is the same value as that displayed by the digital meter Figure 6 contains the pin out identifier for this connector
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components Therefore the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are pmvided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
13 PHESSURE TRANSDUCER
AD MKS Baratronreg Series 200 (Model No 223B-2287T) Pressure Transducer is used This transducer employs variable capacitance technology The transducer contains a tensioned metal diaphragm One side of the diaphragm is exposed to the gas whose pressure is to be measared The other (reference) side IS adjacent to an electrode assembly The diaphragm deflects with changing differential pressure causing a capacitance change between the diaphragm and the adjacent electrode assembly The electrode serves as an overpressure stop when inlet pressure exceeds sensor Full Scale value (up to 20 psia or 120 FS whichevers greater) and also has a built-in overpressure stop on the inlet side for overpressure protection from the reference side
Pressure signals are acquired fiom the test item via small bore tubing The selector valve connects one of up to 9 signals (including TOTAL pressure) to the transducer capsule The digital meter displays the pressure in whatever uoits the transducer amplifier circuit is calibrated to output The circuit can be calibrated to provide a direct readout of either inches ofwater or Pascals The range of the transducer is 0 to WG
The pressure transducer should be recalibrated by the manufacturer on a yearly basis Arrangements sbould be made directly with the manufacturer
Please consult the manufacturers documentation for additional information and specifications

14 DYNAMOMETER ASSEMBLY
141 MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
The dynamometer is a two component force balance employed to measure aerodynamic lift and drag torces It is arranged to mount on the external floor of the test section The apparatus USBS (wo (2) pairs of restrained cantilevered beams separated by spacer blocks for each axis Forces generated by the model under test are conveyed to the dynamometer via a stiff strut and result in the deflection of the beam assemblies These deflections are proportional (within range) to the magnitude of the applied forces The det1ection of each beam assembly is sensed by a Linear Voltage Displacement Transducer (LVDT) The armature moves with the deflecting beam and the core is fixed to the base block but adjustable for zeroing Output signals from the LVDT are demodulated and amplified by signal conditioning circuits The resulting DC voltages represent the direction and magnimde of the applied forces and may be calibrated to readout in any desired engineering units pounds force Newtons etc A shrOUd shiclds the major portion of the force strut from the airstream as shown in Fig 1
142 SIGNAL CONDITIONING
The meier cabinet is supplied with two (2) Lucas Schaevizl (A1odel LVM 110) LVDT voltage modules The LVM 110 Module is a DC-powered LVDT signal conditioner consisting of a carrier oscillator AC amplifier demodulator filter and DC amplifier Excitation is selectable by a plug-in jumper and can be 5kHz or 10kHz The LI1111 0 is designed for either plug-in installation (with enclosed card edge connector) or 10 point wire wrap (erminals It can be monnted or stacked by pennanently attached threaded stand-offs Or by PC card edge guides
There are four (4) plug-in jumper selectable ranges to scale the full range output of the LVDT to a plusmnlOVDC output The span potentiometer allows adjustment ofthe signal displayed on the panel meter(s)
The board mounted zero control provides a volt (=20) range (R22)
To reduce the level of olectronic noise between the two LVDTs the MasterSlave Confignration is used to synchronize the output signals from each oscillator One card is selected as the Master that then sends a SYNC signal to the slaved LVM 110 cards SYNC terminals (pin I) of aU LVM cards must be connected for masterislave operation

30 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
31 GENERAL
The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage signal from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiometer will yield a voltage in the range of 5 VDC representing the value of the desired engineering units
The front panel of the meter is equipped with six (6) potentiometers fitted with turns counters and lever locks Each is located under the display ofthe fculction served
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are provided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
The decimal point for each display is adjusted by moving the position of a jumper (JP I through JP5) The jumpers are located at the front end of the printed circuit board near the ribbon cable connector that leads to the conespondlng output Moving to the left positions the decimal point closer to the left side ofthe display
NOTE The amount of resolution available from the meter display is a function of the units that the various outputs are calibrated in For example LIFT can be displayed in units of Ibsf Newtons or kilograms with 1936 Ibs being equivalent to 88 kg or 8632 Newtons The readouts used are 4 of dIgits They will display a value up to 9999 In
~ this case a calibration in kilograms will provide 3 digits of resolution XXXX However ifNetons are chosen then only two digits of resolution will be available (XXXX) Therefore the units that yield a suitable resolution for the measurements performed must be chosen
32 TWO COMPONENT DYNAM01VlETER
321 GEgtIERAL
The assembly has been calibrated (in grams) prior to shipping (calibration data provided at end of this manual) The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiomeler will yield a voltage in the range of plusmnIO VDC representing the value ofthe desired engineering units
Each signal conditioning board features a potentiometer for GAIN adjustment (RI3) (please refer to pg 6 of the L VMshy110 Instructions) This potentiometer is mounted onto the enclosure front cabinet 2) The Gain potentiometers will be used in conjunction with the brass thumbwheels ofthe dynamometer for calibration
A fixture or bench surface allowing the dynamometer to be mounted in two orientations and a weight set are required for calibration (refer to Fig 4)
322 Ln COMPONENT
Remove the dynamometer j1om the tesr section Secure it to the calibration fixture or clamp the unit LO a bench so that the strut and shroud exleod beyond the edge of the bench as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the L1FT readout Adjust the LIFT LjDT core thttmbwheel until the voltmeter display reads 00(0
6
3 Load the LIFT beams with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 15 Ibs) Adjust the LIFT Gain potentiometer so that the digital display yields the magnitude of the des ired units (ie Ibsf or Newtons)
4 Remove weights Verity zero If necessary adjust the LIFT thumbwheel so that the display reads 0000
5 Reload the weights used in step 3 If necessary adjust the SPAN potentiometer Repeat steps 3 through 5 until ZERO is verified
6 Detenmine the slope and intercept of the calibration curve by applying decreasing loads of known weights Record and graphically plot the results of known weight versus digital display
323 DRAG COMPONENT
1 Remount the dynamometer on the calibration fixture or bench so that the drag beams may be gravity loaded (ie so that the strut is horizontal) as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the DRAG readout Adjust the DRAG LVDT core thumbwheel until the display reads 0000
3 Load the dynamometer with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 8 Ibs) Adjust the DRAG Gain potentiometer following the same procedure described above in steps 3 through 6 for the Lift Component
33 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
331 GENERAL
This procedure zeros the output of the pressure tIansducer The output of the pressure transducer is calibrated by the factory MKS Baratrol1 suggests that the transducer be recalibrated on a yearly basis Contact the local MKS representative directly to arrange for recalibrations
An instrument that provides a known or adjustable pressure has to be used The procedure below uses an ELD airwater u-tube manometer
332 PROCEDURE
I The transducer should be allowed a wanm up period of approximately 15 minutes to stabilize the zero setting
NOTE The zero wi ll shift slightly when the cabinet leg is used A small zero offset is significant only at very low pressure readings
2 Monitor the output from the PRESSURE readout
3 Insure that the manometer columns are plumb using the adjusting screw and the spirit level mounted on the base Connect the barbed fitting marked TOTAL to the valved tee fitting on one leg of the calibration airwater manometer with clear tubing (as depicted in fig 5) Set PRESSURE SELECTOR to the 0 position Note that the other leg ofthe manometer and tube marked STATIC are open to the atmosphere
4 Adjust the digital display to 0000 using the ZERO potentiometer
5 Open the valve at the tee Using the rubber bulb apply a pressure equaling the maximum range of the transducer (standard 10 WG) to the manometer and the transducer Close the valve

10 DESCRIPTION
11 GENERAL
The ELD Wind Tunnel Instrwnentation System is a complete basic instrument package that has been designed for use with subsonic wind tunnels in undergraduate student laboratories The functions of the system include the measurements of lift and drag forces static and dynamic pressures and the reporting of the strcamwise and vertical position (X and Y coordinales) of a uaversing probe The system consists of three major components the dynamometer assembly the probe traversing assembly and the meter cabmet These are depicted in figure L Please note that the meter is intended to be used with a ptobe traversing assembly supplied with a previous order
12 METER CABINET
The cabinet contains a printed circuit board DC power supply five (5) DC voltage digital panel meters two (2) signat conditioner cards (lift and dJag the pressure selector valve zero and span potentiomelers) and the pressure transducer The five (5) digital readouts zero and spm adjustment potentiometers and pressure selector valve arc mounted on the front panel (Fig 2)
The main power input onoff switch signa cable connectors and multi-tube bulkhead cormector are mounted on the back pane as depicted in figure 3
Analog output signals (simultaneous from all five modes) are available through the 15 pin D-Sub socket connector located in the cemer of the meter back panel shown in figure 3 The output through this connector is the same value as that displayed by the digital meter Figure 6 contains the pin out identifier for this connector
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components Therefore the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are pmvided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
13 PHESSURE TRANSDUCER
AD MKS Baratronreg Series 200 (Model No 223B-2287T) Pressure Transducer is used This transducer employs variable capacitance technology The transducer contains a tensioned metal diaphragm One side of the diaphragm is exposed to the gas whose pressure is to be measared The other (reference) side IS adjacent to an electrode assembly The diaphragm deflects with changing differential pressure causing a capacitance change between the diaphragm and the adjacent electrode assembly The electrode serves as an overpressure stop when inlet pressure exceeds sensor Full Scale value (up to 20 psia or 120 FS whichevers greater) and also has a built-in overpressure stop on the inlet side for overpressure protection from the reference side
Pressure signals are acquired fiom the test item via small bore tubing The selector valve connects one of up to 9 signals (including TOTAL pressure) to the transducer capsule The digital meter displays the pressure in whatever uoits the transducer amplifier circuit is calibrated to output The circuit can be calibrated to provide a direct readout of either inches ofwater or Pascals The range of the transducer is 0 to WG
The pressure transducer should be recalibrated by the manufacturer on a yearly basis Arrangements sbould be made directly with the manufacturer
Please consult the manufacturers documentation for additional information and specifications

14 DYNAMOMETER ASSEMBLY
141 MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
The dynamometer is a two component force balance employed to measure aerodynamic lift and drag torces It is arranged to mount on the external floor of the test section The apparatus USBS (wo (2) pairs of restrained cantilevered beams separated by spacer blocks for each axis Forces generated by the model under test are conveyed to the dynamometer via a stiff strut and result in the deflection of the beam assemblies These deflections are proportional (within range) to the magnitude of the applied forces The det1ection of each beam assembly is sensed by a Linear Voltage Displacement Transducer (LVDT) The armature moves with the deflecting beam and the core is fixed to the base block but adjustable for zeroing Output signals from the LVDT are demodulated and amplified by signal conditioning circuits The resulting DC voltages represent the direction and magnimde of the applied forces and may be calibrated to readout in any desired engineering units pounds force Newtons etc A shrOUd shiclds the major portion of the force strut from the airstream as shown in Fig 1
142 SIGNAL CONDITIONING
The meier cabinet is supplied with two (2) Lucas Schaevizl (A1odel LVM 110) LVDT voltage modules The LVM 110 Module is a DC-powered LVDT signal conditioner consisting of a carrier oscillator AC amplifier demodulator filter and DC amplifier Excitation is selectable by a plug-in jumper and can be 5kHz or 10kHz The LI1111 0 is designed for either plug-in installation (with enclosed card edge connector) or 10 point wire wrap (erminals It can be monnted or stacked by pennanently attached threaded stand-offs Or by PC card edge guides
There are four (4) plug-in jumper selectable ranges to scale the full range output of the LVDT to a plusmnlOVDC output The span potentiometer allows adjustment ofthe signal displayed on the panel meter(s)
The board mounted zero control provides a volt (=20) range (R22)
To reduce the level of olectronic noise between the two LVDTs the MasterSlave Confignration is used to synchronize the output signals from each oscillator One card is selected as the Master that then sends a SYNC signal to the slaved LVM 110 cards SYNC terminals (pin I) of aU LVM cards must be connected for masterislave operation
The user is urged to read the LVM 110 1mb-lIelion Manuai booklet that aecompanies this documentation The factory settings of the cards are denoted below

30 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
31 GENERAL
The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage signal from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiometer will yield a voltage in the range of 5 VDC representing the value of the desired engineering units
The front panel of the meter is equipped with six (6) potentiometers fitted with turns counters and lever locks Each is located under the display ofthe fculction served
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are provided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
The decimal point for each display is adjusted by moving the position of a jumper (JP I through JP5) The jumpers are located at the front end of the printed circuit board near the ribbon cable connector that leads to the conespondlng output Moving to the left positions the decimal point closer to the left side ofthe display
NOTE The amount of resolution available from the meter display is a function of the units that the various outputs are calibrated in For example LIFT can be displayed in units of Ibsf Newtons or kilograms with 1936 Ibs being equivalent to 88 kg or 8632 Newtons The readouts used are 4 of dIgits They will display a value up to 9999 In
~ this case a calibration in kilograms will provide 3 digits of resolution XXXX However ifNetons are chosen then only two digits of resolution will be available (XXXX) Therefore the units that yield a suitable resolution for the measurements performed must be chosen
32 TWO COMPONENT DYNAM01VlETER
321 GEgtIERAL
The assembly has been calibrated (in grams) prior to shipping (calibration data provided at end of this manual) The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiomeler will yield a voltage in the range of plusmnIO VDC representing the value ofthe desired engineering units
Each signal conditioning board features a potentiometer for GAIN adjustment (RI3) (please refer to pg 6 of the L VMshy110 Instructions) This potentiometer is mounted onto the enclosure front cabinet 2) The Gain potentiometers will be used in conjunction with the brass thumbwheels ofthe dynamometer for calibration
A fixture or bench surface allowing the dynamometer to be mounted in two orientations and a weight set are required for calibration (refer to Fig 4)
322 Ln COMPONENT
Remove the dynamometer j1om the tesr section Secure it to the calibration fixture or clamp the unit LO a bench so that the strut and shroud exleod beyond the edge of the bench as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the L1FT readout Adjust the LIFT LjDT core thttmbwheel until the voltmeter display reads 00(0
6
3 Load the LIFT beams with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 15 Ibs) Adjust the LIFT Gain potentiometer so that the digital display yields the magnitude of the des ired units (ie Ibsf or Newtons)
4 Remove weights Verity zero If necessary adjust the LIFT thumbwheel so that the display reads 0000
5 Reload the weights used in step 3 If necessary adjust the SPAN potentiometer Repeat steps 3 through 5 until ZERO is verified
6 Detenmine the slope and intercept of the calibration curve by applying decreasing loads of known weights Record and graphically plot the results of known weight versus digital display
323 DRAG COMPONENT
1 Remount the dynamometer on the calibration fixture or bench so that the drag beams may be gravity loaded (ie so that the strut is horizontal) as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the DRAG readout Adjust the DRAG LVDT core thumbwheel until the display reads 0000
3 Load the dynamometer with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 8 Ibs) Adjust the DRAG Gain potentiometer following the same procedure described above in steps 3 through 6 for the Lift Component
33 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
331 GENERAL
This procedure zeros the output of the pressure tIansducer The output of the pressure transducer is calibrated by the factory MKS Baratrol1 suggests that the transducer be recalibrated on a yearly basis Contact the local MKS representative directly to arrange for recalibrations
An instrument that provides a known or adjustable pressure has to be used The procedure below uses an ELD airwater u-tube manometer
332 PROCEDURE
I The transducer should be allowed a wanm up period of approximately 15 minutes to stabilize the zero setting
NOTE The zero wi ll shift slightly when the cabinet leg is used A small zero offset is significant only at very low pressure readings
2 Monitor the output from the PRESSURE readout
3 Insure that the manometer columns are plumb using the adjusting screw and the spirit level mounted on the base Connect the barbed fitting marked TOTAL to the valved tee fitting on one leg of the calibration airwater manometer with clear tubing (as depicted in fig 5) Set PRESSURE SELECTOR to the 0 position Note that the other leg ofthe manometer and tube marked STATIC are open to the atmosphere
4 Adjust the digital display to 0000 using the ZERO potentiometer
5 Open the valve at the tee Using the rubber bulb apply a pressure equaling the maximum range of the transducer (standard 10 WG) to the manometer and the transducer Close the valve
7
6 Adjust the SPAN potentiometer to display the applied pressure in the desired engineering units (ie inches of water TOR kPa etc)
7 Open the valve to vent the system When the manometer fluid is level check the pressure reading and if necessary readjust the zero Close the valve and reapply pressure as in step 4 Refme the digital display as in step 5 if necessary Lock the potentiometer setting
8 Repeat steps 4-7 for several measurements
9 Discornlect the manometer and reattach the TOTAL and STATIC tubing to the test section
34 TWO-DIMENSIONAL TRcVERSING SYSTEM
341 GENERAL

14 DYNAMOMETER ASSEMBLY
141 MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
The dynamometer is a two component force balance employed to measure aerodynamic lift and drag torces It is arranged to mount on the external floor of the test section The apparatus USBS (wo (2) pairs of restrained cantilevered beams separated by spacer blocks for each axis Forces generated by the model under test are conveyed to the dynamometer via a stiff strut and result in the deflection of the beam assemblies These deflections are proportional (within range) to the magnitude of the applied forces The det1ection of each beam assembly is sensed by a Linear Voltage Displacement Transducer (LVDT) The armature moves with the deflecting beam and the core is fixed to the base block but adjustable for zeroing Output signals from the LVDT are demodulated and amplified by signal conditioning circuits The resulting DC voltages represent the direction and magnimde of the applied forces and may be calibrated to readout in any desired engineering units pounds force Newtons etc A shrOUd shiclds the major portion of the force strut from the airstream as shown in Fig 1
142 SIGNAL CONDITIONING
The meier cabinet is supplied with two (2) Lucas Schaevizl (A1odel LVM 110) LVDT voltage modules The LVM 110 Module is a DC-powered LVDT signal conditioner consisting of a carrier oscillator AC amplifier demodulator filter and DC amplifier Excitation is selectable by a plug-in jumper and can be 5kHz or 10kHz The LI1111 0 is designed for either plug-in installation (with enclosed card edge connector) or 10 point wire wrap (erminals It can be monnted or stacked by pennanently attached threaded stand-offs Or by PC card edge guides
There are four (4) plug-in jumper selectable ranges to scale the full range output of the LVDT to a plusmnlOVDC output The span potentiometer allows adjustment ofthe signal displayed on the panel meter(s)
The board mounted zero control provides a volt (=20) range (R22)
To reduce the level of olectronic noise between the two LVDTs the MasterSlave Confignration is used to synchronize the output signals from each oscillator One card is selected as the Master that then sends a SYNC signal to the slaved LVM 110 cards SYNC terminals (pin I) of aU LVM cards must be connected for masterislave operation
The user is urged to read the LVM 110 1mb-lIelion Manuai booklet that aecompanies this documentation The factory settings of the cards are denoted below

15 PROBE TRAVERSING ASSEMBLY
As noted earlier the meter is intended to be used with a probe traversing assembly supplied with a previous order

30 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
31 GENERAL
The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage signal from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiometer will yield a voltage in the range of 5 VDC representing the value of the desired engineering units
The front panel of the meter is equipped with six (6) potentiometers fitted with turns counters and lever locks Each is located under the display ofthe fculction served
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are provided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
The decimal point for each display is adjusted by moving the position of a jumper (JP I through JP5) The jumpers are located at the front end of the printed circuit board near the ribbon cable connector that leads to the conespondlng output Moving to the left positions the decimal point closer to the left side ofthe display
NOTE The amount of resolution available from the meter display is a function of the units that the various outputs are calibrated in For example LIFT can be displayed in units of Ibsf Newtons or kilograms with 1936 Ibs being equivalent to 88 kg or 8632 Newtons The readouts used are 4 of dIgits They will display a value up to 9999 In
~ this case a calibration in kilograms will provide 3 digits of resolution XXXX However ifNetons are chosen then only two digits of resolution will be available (XXXX) Therefore the units that yield a suitable resolution for the measurements performed must be chosen
32 TWO COMPONENT DYNAM01VlETER
321 GEgtIERAL
The assembly has been calibrated (in grams) prior to shipping (calibration data provided at end of this manual) The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiomeler will yield a voltage in the range of plusmnIO VDC representing the value ofthe desired engineering units
Each signal conditioning board features a potentiometer for GAIN adjustment (RI3) (please refer to pg 6 of the L VMshy110 Instructions) This potentiometer is mounted onto the enclosure front cabinet 2) The Gain potentiometers will be used in conjunction with the brass thumbwheels ofthe dynamometer for calibration
A fixture or bench surface allowing the dynamometer to be mounted in two orientations and a weight set are required for calibration (refer to Fig 4)
322 Ln COMPONENT
Remove the dynamometer j1om the tesr section Secure it to the calibration fixture or clamp the unit LO a bench so that the strut and shroud exleod beyond the edge of the bench as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the L1FT readout Adjust the LIFT LjDT core thttmbwheel until the voltmeter display reads 00(0
6
3 Load the LIFT beams with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 15 Ibs) Adjust the LIFT Gain potentiometer so that the digital display yields the magnitude of the des ired units (ie Ibsf or Newtons)
4 Remove weights Verity zero If necessary adjust the LIFT thumbwheel so that the display reads 0000
5 Reload the weights used in step 3 If necessary adjust the SPAN potentiometer Repeat steps 3 through 5 until ZERO is verified
6 Detenmine the slope and intercept of the calibration curve by applying decreasing loads of known weights Record and graphically plot the results of known weight versus digital display
323 DRAG COMPONENT
1 Remount the dynamometer on the calibration fixture or bench so that the drag beams may be gravity loaded (ie so that the strut is horizontal) as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the DRAG readout Adjust the DRAG LVDT core thumbwheel until the display reads 0000
3 Load the dynamometer with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 8 Ibs) Adjust the DRAG Gain potentiometer following the same procedure described above in steps 3 through 6 for the Lift Component
33 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
331 GENERAL
This procedure zeros the output of the pressure tIansducer The output of the pressure transducer is calibrated by the factory MKS Baratrol1 suggests that the transducer be recalibrated on a yearly basis Contact the local MKS representative directly to arrange for recalibrations
An instrument that provides a known or adjustable pressure has to be used The procedure below uses an ELD airwater u-tube manometer
332 PROCEDURE
I The transducer should be allowed a wanm up period of approximately 15 minutes to stabilize the zero setting
NOTE The zero wi ll shift slightly when the cabinet leg is used A small zero offset is significant only at very low pressure readings
2 Monitor the output from the PRESSURE readout
3 Insure that the manometer columns are plumb using the adjusting screw and the spirit level mounted on the base Connect the barbed fitting marked TOTAL to the valved tee fitting on one leg of the calibration airwater manometer with clear tubing (as depicted in fig 5) Set PRESSURE SELECTOR to the 0 position Note that the other leg ofthe manometer and tube marked STATIC are open to the atmosphere
4 Adjust the digital display to 0000 using the ZERO potentiometer
5 Open the valve at the tee Using the rubber bulb apply a pressure equaling the maximum range of the transducer (standard 10 WG) to the manometer and the transducer Close the valve
7
6 Adjust the SPAN potentiometer to display the applied pressure in the desired engineering units (ie inches of water TOR kPa etc)
7 Open the valve to vent the system When the manometer fluid is level check the pressure reading and if necessary readjust the zero Close the valve and reapply pressure as in step 4 Refme the digital display as in step 5 if necessary Lock the potentiometer setting
8 Repeat steps 4-7 for several measurements
9 Discornlect the manometer and reattach the TOTAL and STATIC tubing to the test section

30 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
31 GENERAL
The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage signal from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiometer will yield a voltage in the range of 5 VDC representing the value of the desired engineering units
The front panel of the meter is equipped with six (6) potentiometers fitted with turns counters and lever locks Each is located under the display ofthe fculction served
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are provided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
The decimal point for each display is adjusted by moving the position of a jumper (JP I through JP5) The jumpers are located at the front end of the printed circuit board near the ribbon cable connector that leads to the conespondlng output Moving to the left positions the decimal point closer to the left side ofthe display
NOTE The amount of resolution available from the meter display is a function of the units that the various outputs are calibrated in For example LIFT can be displayed in units of Ibsf Newtons or kilograms with 1936 Ibs being equivalent to 88 kg or 8632 Newtons The readouts used are 4 of dIgits They will display a value up to 9999 In
~ this case a calibration in kilograms will provide 3 digits of resolution XXXX However ifNetons are chosen then only two digits of resolution will be available (XXXX) Therefore the units that yield a suitable resolution for the measurements performed must be chosen
32 TWO COMPONENT DYNAM01VlETER
321 GEgtIERAL
The assembly has been calibrated (in grams) prior to shipping (calibration data provided at end of this manual) The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiomeler will yield a voltage in the range of plusmnIO VDC representing the value ofthe desired engineering units
Each signal conditioning board features a potentiometer for GAIN adjustment (RI3) (please refer to pg 6 of the L VMshy110 Instructions) This potentiometer is mounted onto the enclosure front cabinet 2) The Gain potentiometers will be used in conjunction with the brass thumbwheels ofthe dynamometer for calibration
A fixture or bench surface allowing the dynamometer to be mounted in two orientations and a weight set are required for calibration (refer to Fig 4)
322 Ln COMPONENT
Remove the dynamometer j1om the tesr section Secure it to the calibration fixture or clamp the unit LO a bench so that the strut and shroud exleod beyond the edge of the bench as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the L1FT readout Adjust the LIFT LjDT core thttmbwheel until the voltmeter display reads 00(0
6
3 Load the LIFT beams with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 15 Ibs) Adjust the LIFT Gain potentiometer so that the digital display yields the magnitude of the des ired units (ie Ibsf or Newtons)
4 Remove weights Verity zero If necessary adjust the LIFT thumbwheel so that the display reads 0000
5 Reload the weights used in step 3 If necessary adjust the SPAN potentiometer Repeat steps 3 through 5 until ZERO is verified
6 Detenmine the slope and intercept of the calibration curve by applying decreasing loads of known weights Record and graphically plot the results of known weight versus digital display
323 DRAG COMPONENT
1 Remount the dynamometer on the calibration fixture or bench so that the drag beams may be gravity loaded (ie so that the strut is horizontal) as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the DRAG readout Adjust the DRAG LVDT core thumbwheel until the display reads 0000
3 Load the dynamometer with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 8 Ibs) Adjust the DRAG Gain potentiometer following the same procedure described above in steps 3 through 6 for the Lift Component
33 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
331 GENERAL
This procedure zeros the output of the pressure tIansducer The output of the pressure transducer is calibrated by the factory MKS Baratrol1 suggests that the transducer be recalibrated on a yearly basis Contact the local MKS representative directly to arrange for recalibrations
An instrument that provides a known or adjustable pressure has to be used The procedure below uses an ELD airwater u-tube manometer
332 PROCEDURE
I The transducer should be allowed a wanm up period of approximately 15 minutes to stabilize the zero setting
NOTE The zero wi ll shift slightly when the cabinet leg is used A small zero offset is significant only at very low pressure readings
2 Monitor the output from the PRESSURE readout
3 Insure that the manometer columns are plumb using the adjusting screw and the spirit level mounted on the base Connect the barbed fitting marked TOTAL to the valved tee fitting on one leg of the calibration airwater manometer with clear tubing (as depicted in fig 5) Set PRESSURE SELECTOR to the 0 position Note that the other leg ofthe manometer and tube marked STATIC are open to the atmosphere
4 Adjust the digital display to 0000 using the ZERO potentiometer
5 Open the valve at the tee Using the rubber bulb apply a pressure equaling the maximum range of the transducer (standard 10 WG) to the manometer and the transducer Close the valve
7
6 Adjust the SPAN potentiometer to display the applied pressure in the desired engineering units (ie inches of water TOR kPa etc)
7 Open the valve to vent the system When the manometer fluid is level check the pressure reading and if necessary readjust the zero Close the valve and reapply pressure as in step 4 Refme the digital display as in step 5 if necessary Lock the potentiometer setting
8 Repeat steps 4-7 for several measurements
9 Discornlect the manometer and reattach the TOTAL and STATIC tubing to the test section

30 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
31 GENERAL
The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage signal from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiometer will yield a voltage in the range of 5 VDC representing the value of the desired engineering units
The front panel of the meter is equipped with six (6) potentiometers fitted with turns counters and lever locks Each is located under the display ofthe fculction served
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are provided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
The decimal point for each display is adjusted by moving the position of a jumper (JP I through JP5) The jumpers are located at the front end of the printed circuit board near the ribbon cable connector that leads to the conespondlng output Moving to the left positions the decimal point closer to the left side ofthe display
NOTE The amount of resolution available from the meter display is a function of the units that the various outputs are calibrated in For example LIFT can be displayed in units of Ibsf Newtons or kilograms with 1936 Ibs being equivalent to 88 kg or 8632 Newtons The readouts used are 4 of dIgits They will display a value up to 9999 In
~ this case a calibration in kilograms will provide 3 digits of resolution XXXX However ifNetons are chosen then only two digits of resolution will be available (XXXX) Therefore the units that yield a suitable resolution for the measurements performed must be chosen
32 TWO COMPONENT DYNAM01VlETER
321 GEgtIERAL
The assembly has been calibrated (in grams) prior to shipping (calibration data provided at end of this manual) The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiomeler will yield a voltage in the range of plusmnIO VDC representing the value ofthe desired engineering units
Each signal conditioning board features a potentiometer for GAIN adjustment (RI3) (please refer to pg 6 of the L VMshy110 Instructions) This potentiometer is mounted onto the enclosure front cabinet 2) The Gain potentiometers will be used in conjunction with the brass thumbwheels ofthe dynamometer for calibration
A fixture or bench surface allowing the dynamometer to be mounted in two orientations and a weight set are required for calibration (refer to Fig 4)
322 Ln COMPONENT
Remove the dynamometer j1om the tesr section Secure it to the calibration fixture or clamp the unit LO a bench so that the strut and shroud exleod beyond the edge of the bench as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the L1FT readout Adjust the LIFT LjDT core thttmbwheel until the voltmeter display reads 00(0
6
3 Load the LIFT beams with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 15 Ibs) Adjust the LIFT Gain potentiometer so that the digital display yields the magnitude of the des ired units (ie Ibsf or Newtons)
4 Remove weights Verity zero If necessary adjust the LIFT thumbwheel so that the display reads 0000
5 Reload the weights used in step 3 If necessary adjust the SPAN potentiometer Repeat steps 3 through 5 until ZERO is verified
6 Detenmine the slope and intercept of the calibration curve by applying decreasing loads of known weights Record and graphically plot the results of known weight versus digital display
323 DRAG COMPONENT
1 Remount the dynamometer on the calibration fixture or bench so that the drag beams may be gravity loaded (ie so that the strut is horizontal) as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the DRAG readout Adjust the DRAG LVDT core thumbwheel until the display reads 0000
3 Load the dynamometer with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 8 Ibs) Adjust the DRAG Gain potentiometer following the same procedure described above in steps 3 through 6 for the Lift Component
33 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
331 GENERAL
This procedure zeros the output of the pressure tIansducer The output of the pressure transducer is calibrated by the factory MKS Baratrol1 suggests that the transducer be recalibrated on a yearly basis Contact the local MKS representative directly to arrange for recalibrations
An instrument that provides a known or adjustable pressure has to be used The procedure below uses an ELD airwater u-tube manometer
332 PROCEDURE
I The transducer should be allowed a wanm up period of approximately 15 minutes to stabilize the zero setting
NOTE The zero wi ll shift slightly when the cabinet leg is used A small zero offset is significant only at very low pressure readings
2 Monitor the output from the PRESSURE readout
3 Insure that the manometer columns are plumb using the adjusting screw and the spirit level mounted on the base Connect the barbed fitting marked TOTAL to the valved tee fitting on one leg of the calibration airwater manometer with clear tubing (as depicted in fig 5) Set PRESSURE SELECTOR to the 0 position Note that the other leg ofthe manometer and tube marked STATIC are open to the atmosphere
4 Adjust the digital display to 0000 using the ZERO potentiometer
5 Open the valve at the tee Using the rubber bulb apply a pressure equaling the maximum range of the transducer (standard 10 WG) to the manometer and the transducer Close the valve
7
6 Adjust the SPAN potentiometer to display the applied pressure in the desired engineering units (ie inches of water TOR kPa etc)
7 Open the valve to vent the system When the manometer fluid is level check the pressure reading and if necessary readjust the zero Close the valve and reapply pressure as in step 4 Refme the digital display as in step 5 if necessary Lock the potentiometer setting
8 Repeat steps 4-7 for several measurements
9 Discornlect the manometer and reattach the TOTAL and STATIC tubing to the test section
34 TWO-DIMENSIONAL TRcVERSING SYSTEM

30 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
31 GENERAL
The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage signal from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiometer will yield a voltage in the range of 5 VDC representing the value of the desired engineering units
The front panel of the meter is equipped with six (6) potentiometers fitted with turns counters and lever locks Each is located under the display ofthe fculction served
Please note that the analog output of the meter assembly is raw output from each of the components the analog output signal is not the same as the value displayed by the meter Calibration charts are provided at the end of the manual to display the difference in the meter and analog output
The decimal point for each display is adjusted by moving the position of a jumper (JP I through JP5) The jumpers are located at the front end of the printed circuit board near the ribbon cable connector that leads to the conespondlng output Moving to the left positions the decimal point closer to the left side ofthe display
NOTE The amount of resolution available from the meter display is a function of the units that the various outputs are calibrated in For example LIFT can be displayed in units of Ibsf Newtons or kilograms with 1936 Ibs being equivalent to 88 kg or 8632 Newtons The readouts used are 4 of dIgits They will display a value up to 9999 In
~ this case a calibration in kilograms will provide 3 digits of resolution XXXX However ifNetons are chosen then only two digits of resolution will be available (XXXX) Therefore the units that yield a suitable resolution for the measurements performed must be chosen

The assembly has been calibrated (in grams) prior to shipping (calibration data provided at end of this manual) The purpose of the calibration is to attenuate the amplified voltage from each transducer Adjusting the resistance of a potentiomeler will yield a voltage in the range of plusmnIO VDC representing the value ofthe desired engineering units
Each signal conditioning board features a potentiometer for GAIN adjustment (RI3) (please refer to pg 6 of the L VMshy110 Instructions) This potentiometer is mounted onto the enclosure front cabinet 2) The Gain potentiometers will be used in conjunction with the brass thumbwheels ofthe dynamometer for calibration
A fixture or bench surface allowing the dynamometer to be mounted in two orientations and a weight set are required for calibration (refer to Fig 4)
322 Ln COMPONENT
Remove the dynamometer j1om the tesr section Secure it to the calibration fixture or clamp the unit LO a bench so that the strut and shroud exleod beyond the edge of the bench as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the L1FT readout Adjust the LIFT LjDT core thttmbwheel until the voltmeter display reads 00(0
6
3 Load the LIFT beams with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 15 Ibs) Adjust the LIFT Gain potentiometer so that the digital display yields the magnitude of the des ired units (ie Ibsf or Newtons)
4 Remove weights Verity zero If necessary adjust the LIFT thumbwheel so that the display reads 0000
5 Reload the weights used in step 3 If necessary adjust the SPAN potentiometer Repeat steps 3 through 5 until ZERO is verified
6 Detenmine the slope and intercept of the calibration curve by applying decreasing loads of known weights Record and graphically plot the results of known weight versus digital display
323 DRAG COMPONENT
1 Remount the dynamometer on the calibration fixture or bench so that the drag beams may be gravity loaded (ie so that the strut is horizontal) as shown in figure 4
2 Monitor the output from the DRAG readout Adjust the DRAG LVDT core thumbwheel until the display reads 0000
3 Load the dynamometer with known weights equal to the maximum desired operating range (maximum rating of 8 Ibs) Adjust the DRAG Gain potentiometer following the same procedure described above in steps 3 through 6 for the Lift Component
33 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
331 GENERAL
This procedure zeros the output of the pressure tIansducer The output of the pressure transducer is calibrated by the factory MKS Baratrol1 suggests that the transducer be recalibrated on a yearly basis Contact the local MKS representative directly to arrange for recalibrations
An instrument that provides a known or adjustable pressure has to be used The procedure below uses an ELD airwater u-tube manometer
332 PROCEDURE
I The transducer should be allowed a wanm up period of approximately 15 minutes to stabilize the zero setting
NOTE The zero wi ll shift slightly when the cabinet leg is used A small zero offset is significant only at very low pressure readings
2 Monitor the output from the PRESSURE readout
3 Insure that the manometer columns are plumb using the adjusting screw and the spirit level mounted on the base Connect the barbed fitting marked TOTAL to the valved tee fitting on one leg of the calibration airwater manometer with clear tubing (as depicted in fig 5) Set PRESSURE SELECTOR to the 0 position Note that the other leg ofthe manometer and tube marked STATIC are open to the atmosphere
4 Adjust the digital display to 0000 using the ZERO potentiometer
5 Open the valve at the tee Using the rubber bulb apply a pressure equaling the maximum range of the transducer (standard 10 WG) to the manometer and the transducer Close the valve
7
6 Adjust the SPAN potentiometer to display the applied pressure in the desired engineering units (ie inches of water TOR kPa etc)
7 Open the valve to vent the system When the manometer fluid is level check the pressure reading and if necessary readjust the zero Close the valve and reapply pressure as in step 4 Refme the digital display as in step 5 if necessary Lock the potentiometer setting
8 Repeat steps 4-7 for several measurements
9 Discornlect the manometer and reattach the TOTAL and STATIC tubing to the test section
