This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Edwards Active Digital Controller.
You must use the Controller as specified in this manual. Read this man ual before you install and operate the Edwards
Active Digital Controller. Important safety information is highlighted as WARNING and CAUTION instructions; you
must obey these instructions. The use of WARNINGS and CAUTIONS is defined below.
WARNING
Warnings are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in injury or death to
people.
CAUTION
Cautions are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in damage to the equipment, associated

1.2 Product description
WARNING
Improper use of the equi pment could cause damage to it or injury to people. The user is
responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of the equipment.
The ADC (Active Digital Controller) is us ed for d isplayi ng pres sures mea sured by Ed wa rd s Acti ve Ga uges. The ADC is
available in two versions. The Standard version provides a large clear LED display for a single gauge, and the Enhanced
version has additional features: 2 gauge inputs, 2 set-point relays, analogue outputs for data recording and an RS232
interface for control and data monitoring on a remote PC.
Throughout this manual, certain sections are applicable only to the Standard or Enhanced versions. These section s
are marked "Standard only" or "Enhanced only". The compatible gauges that can be used with the Active Digital
Controller are listed in Table 1.
