3.1.8. Resistor Type Transducer Connection
The CT-7000 S3 provides three channels for resistor type transducers. The transducer resistance
input can range from 200 Ohms to 10K Ohms. The CT-7000 S3 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-7000 S3’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 12.
NOTES
• When a resistor type transducer is selected, all three resistor transducer channels
(R1, R2, and R3) are active and will be shown on the test results (see Figure 17).
• A 15-foot transducer cable with 3 quick disconnect clips is provided with each CT-
7000 S3. The 3 clips are labeled “+5V”, “Signal”, and “GND”.
• See section 3.2.11 for resistor type transducer calibration information.
