PIN WIRING CODE PIN FUNCTIONALITY
3 +S + Signal

Note: Sensor cable shield connections should be grounded on one end, either the sensor side or the IAA sensor input side, to avoid potential ground loops.

Power/Output Wiring

The power/output side of the product has a PIN layout for wiring:

PIN WIRING CODE PIN FUNCTIONALITY COLOR
1 CHASSIS Shield Orange
2 VIN Power Supply Red
3 GND Power Ground Black
4 GND Output Ground Blue
5 VOUT Output Signal Green

Note: For Sensors with Shield, use Pin 1 (Chassis) of ‘Power/Output Connections’ for Shield Connection.

LED Indication

The product has LED indicators for different functionalities:

  • Solid Green LED: Normal operation mode
  • Blinking Red LED: Fault condition detected
  • Blinking when advertising and solid when paired/connected
  • Note: The device will continue advertising upon startup and it automatically shuts off if not paired within 3 minutes. Power cycle to restart.

Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Layout Setup

  1. Attach the product using the 2 DIN Clip to the desired location.
  2. Ensure proper sensor wiring by connecting the sensor cable to the sensor side of the product.
  3. Connect the power supply and output device to the power/output side of the product using the specified pin wiring.
  4. Make sure the USB-C Power/Communication port is accessible for power and communication purposes.

Step 2: Power On and Calibration

  1. Power on the product by supplying the required power to the VIN pin.
  2. Observe the LED indicator. A solid green LED indicates normal operation mode.
  3. If a fault condition is detected (blinking red LED), refer to the troubleshooting section in the user manual or contact technical support.
  4. To calibrate the product, access the settings menu by pressing the corresponding button(s) on the front side of the product.
  5. Choose between automatic or manual calibration mode based on your requirements.
  6. Enter the necessary information such as sensitivity, max excitation, offset, and span values. Refer to the user manual for guidance on these values.
  7. Save the calibration settings and exit the settings menu.

FAQ

Q: Where can I find technical support for the IAA105?
A: For technical support, please visit http://www.futek.com/iaa/support.aspx.

Q: Can I modify the design and specifications of the product?

Health Status Notes:

  • Open circuit detected / Short circuit detected – Possible open between ± excitation wires.
  • Temperature out of range –

The amplifier is monitoring temperatures that are at or above the specified operating temperature as listed on the amplifier spec sheet.

  • A zero offset adjustment can be made to account for any fixtures and will not affect the calibrated span.
  • The output of the IAA105 must be monitored while adjusting.
