Note: These pins are not polarity sensitive.

Note: Cable shield should be connected to pin G, ground, and should be grounded on one end, either the sensor side or the IHH500 connection side.
WARNING: Connections to amplified sensors, such as FUTEK’s amplified rotary torque sensors, must be made with the IHH500 powered off first to avoid potential damage to amplified sensors.

12-PIN SENSOR TO IHH500 BINDER ASSEMBLY

CONNECTION TIPS
The +/- Excitation and +/- Signal connections are used with mV/V output sensors with the +/- Excitation used to supply power to the sensor. The 24V output supply can be used to power amplified sensors such as our amplified Rotary Torque sensors, for example, TRS605. The 5V output is typically used to power items such as the encoder in our rotary torque sensors.The IHH500 Elite is callable of interacting with encoders, such as those in our Rotary Toque sensor, with the encoder outputs on the Leading and Lagging pulse connections. Typically our rotary torque sensor encoders will have Angle 1 on the Leading Pulse connection and Angle 2 on the Lagging pulse connections. If the Leading Pulse Pin L leads Pin M the Encoder count will increase and if the Lagging Pin M leads Pin L the encoder count will decrease.

Profile Quick Setup (Calibration)

The IHH500 can store up to 15 profiles with channel 2 through 15 being user selectable.

Save Changes
Back to exit Main Menu and put the IHH500 into the normal reading display

TIPS FOR SETTING UP A PROFILE

The decimal point can be moved by selecting it first and turning it into a number and then selecting another digit to change it into a decimal point. Sensitivity (+) must be entered. If only one direction is selected, then sensitivity (+) will be applied to both directions of output or negative direction output. Sensitivity is the sensor’s output level, such as mV/V output, and is found on the calibration certificate. Online sensor calibration data may be available by sensor serial number at https://www.futek.com/support to assist in finding your sensor’s output or sensitivity.Pressing back without saving will prompt to exit without saving. Enter can be used for Yes, and Back for No.
IHH500 Elite supports Encoders through Pulse profiles. Current profiles cannot be set up manually and must be set up using the Live Calibration feature in the profile setup. Full bridge sensor type is for mV/V output sensors. Voltage output and current output are for amplified inputs to the IHH500.

TIPS FOR PROFILE LOCKOUT & LCD SETTINGS

To lockout the ability to cre-ate, edit, or delete a calibra-tion profile in the IHH500, use the Lock Settings menu. The default lockout password will be the serial number on the back of the IHH500. The password can be changed to a new numerical combination. The LCD contrast and brightness can be set to maximum and the levels can be saved as default for all future usage of the IHH500. Use the left and right arrow keys to increase or decrease the brightness and contrast of the LCD display in the LCD display setup menu.A message stating, “Selected feature is not available at this time,” will be displayed when profile control is locked out. Profile will be locked out when a system calibration at FUTEK is performed.If the keypad is non-responsive then it has been locked out. To restore functionality, connect the instrument to a PC running SENSIT. On the display mode tab, right click on the instrument and uncheck “Keypad Locked.”

TIPS FOR ANALOG OUTPUT
Bi-polar and Uni-polar for voltage configurations will determine if the output would be ±5VDC for both directional outputs from the sensor, or map both directional outputs to +5VDC with the zero at 2.5VDC. Analog Low is set to zero load readings and Analog High is set to the full capacity of the sensor profile. Uni-direction or Bi-direction for current will determine if the current output range is for the positive output of the sensor, or if the zero should be shifted to allow the selected current output range to adjust for both directions from the sensor. A Tare function will affect the reading on the IHH500 as well as the Analog Output.

TIPS FOR ALARMS AND RELAYS
Alarm Relay 1 is mapped to Alarm High and Alarm Relay 2 is mapped to Alarm Low. Threshold limits are set as a percentage of the capacity of the sensor. Pressing Reset on the IHH500 will reset any alarm status. Peak will flash on the IHH500 for an active alarm high state, and Valley will flash for an active low alarm state.

Data Logging

Data logging is the ability to capture readings over a specified time period for later evaluation. The Data logging information can be uploaded into the FUTEK SENSIT software and further exported into other programs, such as Microsoft Excel.

DATA LOGGING QUICK SETUP

Menu
Data Logging
Logging Rate
Choose Full speed or Half Speed
Duration
Enter duration of data logging test in seconds
Action
Choose to Start or Stop the data logging session

TIPS FOR USING DATA LOGGING
The IHH500 can store up to 21,000 data logging points. Each point is a captured reading. The sampling rate used will be the current sample per second setting in the IHH500 when Full Speed is selected and half the current set sampling rate when Half Speed is selected. The maximum data logging duration will be the 21,000 data logging points divided by the sampling rate used.The data logging information is lost when power is turned off on the IHH500. At slower sampling it is possible to exit the data logging menu to view a count- down timer. A check mark will be present next to Action to show a data logging session is active.When the data logging session is complete the IHH500 will display a successful message and return to the display screen. Pressing stop before the end of a session will result in the captured readings overwriting the prior readings up till the run time.

SENSIT™ Test and Measurement Software

The IHH500 can be used with the FUTEK SENSIT software, which can be purchased separately or evaluated through a free trial version available on the FUTEK website.

FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE IN SENSIT WITH THE IHH500

Ability to see current reading in Display table
Ability to upload, list, plot, and export data logging information from the IHH500
Ability to view, list, and export a live graphing session
Ability to remotely control the IHH500 through a virtual front panel

In SENSIT the items that do not apply to the IHH500 will be grayed out in the Data logging Settings. Start Test will import the data logging information into SENSIT.

TIPS FOR USING SENSIT WITH THE IHH500

The IHH500 should be turned on and connected to the computer prior to starting SENSIT. USB output, under Interfaces in the IHH500, should be enabled with a check mark to confirm its operation.

CHANGING THE NUMBER OF DIGITS

Menu
System Settings
Digits Select

TIP the sampling rate can be set from 5 sps to 4800 sps at preset intervals. Increasing the sampling rate may increase the noise as the IHH500 becomes more sensitive to input changes. The decimal point is floating on the IHH500 which means with 4 decimal points the format will automatically adjust from 0000 to 0.000. For example, a 1,000lb load cell would display from 1000 to 0.001lbs. The number of digits can be selected from 3 to 6 and can be saved as default.

Troubleshooting Tips

An “Overflow” message usually indicates an output higher than that specified in the profile type and can be from the load cell or from an open to the IHH500 from the sensor. The load cell connections should be confirmed and the load cell for any overload damage.
If the sensor profile is locked out, a message, “Selected feature is not available at this time,” will appear. See the lock setting section of this manual for more information.
A live calibration can be performed using the calibration option in the IHH500 profile setup and will require known loads. The load to use should match the capacity listed in the profile.
If the readings are not correct for the applied load, review the sensor profile and confirm the capacity and sensitivity of your load cell.
Profile 1 is a system mV/V reference channel and can
be used to confirm the output of a sensor and help in troubleshooting any questions in a profile setup.
In the main menu, Diagnostic can be used with the external setting to confirm the resistance on the output connections of the load cell.
For the IHH500 Elite, the Display button can be pressed to show encoder information. This screen must be active for SENSIT Live Graphing to capture encoder information.
