b. 

Using the red left and red right arrow keys select the digit to 
be changed. Using the red up and red down arrow keys set 
the value for the selected digit that corresponds to the sensors 
sensitivity (+) and use the red ENTER button to save the value.

• 

The decimal place can be set by first changing the decimal 
to a number and then changing another selected digit into 
a decimal.

16.  Setup SENSITIVITY (-)

a. 

Using the red down arrow key followed by the red Enter button 
select SENSITIVITY (-).

• 

SENSITIVITY (-) can only be selected if BI- DIRECTIONAL 
was selected earlier.

• 

The sensitivity (-) will be the negative mV/V output for 
bridge type sensors and the maximum negative voltage 
output for amplified sensors.

• 

The output of the sensor is usually listed on the sensor 
calibration certificate.

• 

For current output sensors, +/- Sensitivity is not available. 
Calibration must be used for current output sensors.

b. 

Using the red left and red right arrow keys select the digit to 
be changed. Using the red up and red down arrow keys set 
the value for the selected digit that corresponds to the sensors 
sensitivity (-) and use the red ENTER button to save the value.

• 

The decimal place can be set by first changing the decimal 
to a number and then changing another selected digit into 
a decimal.

17.  Using the red down arrow key followed by the red Enter button select 

CALIBRATION if a live calibration, where a load is to be placed on 
the sensor, is desired. Otherwise, CALIBRATION can be skipped by 
pressing the red down arrow key.

a. 

Press the red Enter button to select Zero load (+) and proceed to 
the input screen.

b. 

With no load on the sensor, press the red Enter button to capture 
the Zero load (+) reading.

c. 

Press the red down arrow key followed by the red Enter button to 
select FullScale (+) and proceed to the input screen.

d. 

With the full load on the sensor, which results in the full positive 
output, press the red Enter button to capture the FullScale (+) 
reading.

e. 

Press the red down arrow key followed by the red Enter button to 
select Zero load (-) and proceed to the input screen.

• 

The direction must be set to Bi-Directional for a – input in 
CALIBRATION.

f.

 

With no load on the sensor, press the red Enter button to capture 
the Zero load (-) reading.

g.

  Press the red down arrow key followed by the red Enter button to 

select FullScale (–) and proceed to the input screen.

• 

The direction must be set to Bi-Directional for a – input in 
CALIBRATION.

h.

  With the full load on the sensor, which results in the full negative 

output, press the red Enter button to capture the FullScale (-) 
reading.

18.  Using the red down arrow key followed by the red Enter button select 

PULSE / ROTATE.

a. 

The PULSE / ROTATE menu is selectable only for profiles that 
specify PULSE as the sensor type.

b. 

Typical FUTEK settings are 360 and 60.

19.  Using the red left and red right arrow keys select the digit to be 

changed. Using the red up and red down arrow keys set the value for 
the selected digit that corresponds to the encoder Pulse counts. Use 
the red ENTER button to save the value.

a. 

The default value is set to 360.

b. 

See section 6.1.3.8 of the IHH500 manual for more information 
on PULSE / ROTATE.

20.  Using the red down arrow key followed by the red Enter button select 

SERIAL NUMBER.

21.  Using the red left and red right arrow keys select the digit to be 

changed. Using the red up and red down arrow keys set the value for 
the selected digit that corresponds to the sensor’s serial number. Use 
the red ENTER button to save the value.

22.  Press the red Back button to exit the NEW CHANNEL setup and 

return to the SENSOR PROFILE menu.

23.  Using the red down arrow key followed by the red ENTER button 

select SAVE CHANGES to save and create current sensor profile.

24.  Press the red Back button to exit the SENSOR PROFILE menu and 

return to the IHH500 main menu.

25.  Press the red Back button to exit the IHH500 menu and return to the 

normal operation screen.

26.  The normal operating screen will now be displayed with the current 

peak reading, sensor output, valley reading, selected channel, gross 
or tare mode, and samples per second (sps).

a. 

Press the Display button to display additional information from 
encoder when available.
