SETUP OF EXTERNAL TRANSDUCER 
The AUET/MTM can be used with a variety of  external  transducers,  whether  supplied by  AIMCO  or  another  manufacturer. Because  manufacturers  use  a  wide  range of  transducer  technologies  and  connector types, verify that the transducer you plan to use  is  capable  of  being  connected  to  and communicating  with  the AUET/MTM. For assistance  with  this,  please  contact  your AIMCO  Distributor  or  authorized  AIMCO Sales Representative.  AIMCO’s  lines  of Auditor™ industry-standard  transducers  are  manufactured with  the  proper  connector-style  for  easy use with the AUET/MTM and will be used 
as the example in all following instructions. Two (2) optional cables are available from AIMCO  to  connect Auditor™ brand transducers to the AUET/MTM:  
 Part # ATDBLIS: Connects the ATDA to  any Auditor™ ABRT- or  ARTIS Torque/Angle series transducer 
 Part  # ATDBRIS: Connects  the ATDA  to  any Auditor™ ARTIS Torque Only series transducer   Contact your AIMCO Distributor or AIMCO authorized  Sales  Representative  for information on ordering these cables.

Connecting a Transducer Align  the  red  dot  on  the  transducer-cable connector  with  the  red  dot  on  the TRANSDUCER CABLE INPUT port (Fig-ure 2) and firmly press the connector into the  port. Set  rotary  switch  to external port.  Setting up the Transducer to be used The Auditor™ AUET/MTM must be set to recognize the transducer  connected to  the instrument. Most transducers can be made to allow the Auditor™ AUET/MTM to self-recognize  the  transducer  simply  when  a connection  is  made. For  assistance  with this, please contact your AIMCO Distributor or authorized AIMCO Sales Representative for a transducer upgrade quotation.  For the typical, Industry Standard (IS) type of  transducer,  the  setup  procedure  is  as follows:  1. Turn the AUET/MTM On. 2. Within  3  seconds  of  pressing  the ON button,  press  the LEFT  SELECTION BUTTON (Figure 1) for CAL 3. Press ENT to  SELECT  UNITS. If a transducer  has  been  previously  setup, the  data  for  that  previous  setup  will  be shown. 4. Units  of  measure  for  use  in  setting  up the  transducer  may  be  changed  in  this screen  by  pressing  the UP  OR  DOWN SELECTION ARROW to scroll through the  available  units. Pressing ENT will select the displayed unit of measure for use  in  setup  and  then  display  the SELECT FULL SCALE screen. 5. To  change  the  number  displayed  to match  the  transducer  being  setup, press  the RIGHT  SELECTION BUTTON to EDIT the number. 6. The  upper  right  corner  of  the  screen will display the digit number that use of the UP  or  DOWN  SELECTION ARROWS will  effect. The  bottom  left corner  of  the  screen  shows  the increment  of  adjustment  that  each 
press  of  the UP  or  DOWN  SELEC-TION ARROWS changes the digit by. 7. Once  the  number  displayed  on  the screen  matches  the  transducer  to  be used, press ENT to confirm the set value. 8. The  next  screen  will  display  “(+/-) 0.000”  and  the  A-D  counts. Press  and hold the RIGHT SELECTION BUTTON to EDIT the  mV/V  rating  of  the transducer  being  setup. System defaults  to  2.00000  which  is  standard for all Auditor IS transducers. To insure that  the  selection  is  correct  a  change should  be  made  even  if  the  default  of 2.00000mV/v  is  correct. Using  the UP and DOWN  SELECTION  ARROWS adjust the reading up and down to then display the desired value. Press ENT if this  value  is  correct  for  the  transducer being setup. It is important to be sure that  the  sign  (+/-)  shown  on  the  A-D matches  the  direction  of  the  Cal mode. If  in  +Cal  then  the  sign  must be positive. If  in –Cal  then  the  sign must be -. Rotation of the transducer shaft  will  facilitate  a  change  from  + to – should that be necessary. 9. Percentage  of  Full  Scale  is  the  next adjustment. Default  is  100. Should  it be  desired  to  limit  the  readable  range of  the  transducer  to  be  used,  use  the RIGHT SELECTION BUTTON and the UP  or  DOWN arrows  to  change  this value. Hit ENT once the desired value is displayed. 10. Press  the DOWN  SELECTION ARROW to set the –Cal.  Confirm –Cal by hitting ENT. Repeat steps 8 & 9. 11. After  mV/V  and  Full  Scale  have  been entered, the display returns to the A-D count screen. Hit ENT 12. If  the  value  is  correct,  press ENT and PGM will show on the screen.  13. Press the LEFT SELECTION BUTTON to  Save the setting. The unit  will  power itself off and will hold the set value until it is changed in the future or  a different Intellect  transducer  is  attached  to  the unit.
