Insert connector of 

PWM

card onto the vacant pins of header 

JP2

. Monitor the 

PWM

output (Terminal 5) with

respect to GND (Terminal 6) using an oscilloscope. Power up the 

EICT/EICTM

. Check that output has 10-90%

duty cycle over the the required displacement of the transducer, adjust zero and gain trim pots if necessary.
(Equivalent to 0.5 to 4.5Vdc output).

Step 12 - Final setup 

After configuration, switch off the power to 

EICT/EICTM

. Remove DMM or oscilloscope connections.

Replace the lid using screws removed, ensuring all gaskets are present and in the correct place.
Recommended tightening torque for the lid screws is 2Nm. 

Optional, but recommended - use an indelible pen to mark the configuration settings you have selected,
in the appropriate label area shown on the 

EICT/EICTM

housing cover. (EICT type; Voltage output range [if

applicable]; transducer type)

The transducer and 

EICT/EICTM

are now ready for use. Refer to 

EICT/EICTM

technical data

sheet/brochure for full specification, mounting options and dimensions.

Additional Notes:

1

Current Module 

(CM)

(4 - 20mA) and Pulse Width Modulation 

(PWM)

'set-up' is unaffected by Dual

Supply option. Continue to follow set-up guide steps.

2

Recommended connections, but optional. Consult your Systems Engineer should other options be
required.

3

Make a note of, and check, the transducer cable colour codes (see Fig. 5) relative to the assigned
connector termination identities, to enable the 

EICT/EICTM

to be correctly connected.

4

Cable diameter must be between 2.5 and 6.0mm diameter to maintain IP66 rating of the 

EICT

housing.

Cable diameter must be between 3.0 and 8.0mm diameter to maintain IP68 rating of the 

EICTM

housing.

Make off cable elements to the connector.

5

Rapid integrity check for connector and/or transducer.
EICT/EICTM

must be disconnected from the transducer to carry out following check!

Using a DMM, set to the resistance range: (See Fig. 5 for transducer cable colour coding)
i)

Measure between connector terminals assigned to transducer 'yellow' and 'blue'. Value should lie
between 40

and 170

.

ii) Measure between connector terminals assigned to transducer 'green' and 'yellow' and/or 'blue'.

Value should be 'open circuit'.

iii) Measure between connector terminal assigned to 'green' and the transducer body. Value should be

'short circuit'.

iv) 'Screen', if used - Connector terminal assigned to 'screen' should be 'open circuit' to all the other

connector terminations and transducer body unless otherwise specified by your Systems Engineer.
