Javelin

USB Programmable Transmitter

General Description

The Javelin is a loop powered, isolated transmitter. One of its key features is its easy so ware setup using De ne ToolBox. ToolBox enables simple and  exible programming of the Javelin in less than a minute, with no input signal or power supply required.

The Javelin also o ers  exible input options to suit a virtually endless range of industries.

High quality signal conditioning is a popular application. The Javelin accepts input signals from sensors such as thermocouples, RTD's, and potentiometers, and converts them to an industry standard 4–20mA output signal, where they can then be processed by PLC's and other instruments.

The Javelin can also be used to convert other standard process signals (such as ±10V, 1–5V, and 0–10V) to a 4–20mA signal. Another widely used application is as a simple 4–20mA in, and 4–20mA out isolator, to protect inputs of PLC's and SCADA systems from ground loops, transients, and the e ects of EMC.

More sophisticated applications are also catered to. For example, a level signal from an odd shaped tank can be converted to a 4–20mA signal representing volume, by using the in-built linearization table.

To start exploring the capabilities of your Javelin, install ToolBox now (see Section 5).

This will release the hook, allowing the unit to be detached from the DIN rail.

Fig 2

4.4 - EMC installation guidelines

The Javelin has been designed to cope with large EMC disturbances. This has been

achieved by continual testing and improvement of  ltering and layout techniques over many years.

The Javelin meet CE noise requirements, and even surpass them in many tests. (For full details and test results, see Appendix A.) However in some applications with less than optimum installations and large power switching, the EMC performance of the Javelin can be further improved, by:

A Installing the unit in an earthed metal

enclosure. This is particularly useful if the control box is mounted close to large power switching devices like contactors. Every switching cycle there is a possibility of generating a large amount of near  eld radiated noise. The metal enclosure, acting as a faraday cage, will shunt this radiation to ground and away from the Javelin.

B Using shielded cable on sensitive input

and control signal lines. Good results can be obtained by grounding the shields to the metal enclosure close to the entry point. All cables act as aerials and pick up unwanted R.F. radiated signals and noise; the earthed shield acts as a faraday cage around the cables, shunting the unwanted energy to ground.

Shields can also help with capacitively coupled noise typically found in circumstances when signal cable is laid on top of noisy switching power cables. Of course in this case you are better o to keep separate signal and power lines.

C Laying cable on earthed cable trays

can also help reduce noise seen by the Javelin. This is particularly useful if there are long cable runs, or the unit is close to radiating sources such as two way radios.

Further improvements can be made with this type of noise by increasing the physical distance from the power devices. For example, increasing the control box distance from 6” to 12” from the noise source will reduce the noise seen by the control box by a factor of 4. Probably the cheapest and best results in this situation could be obtained by adding RC snubbers to the contactors or power switches.

ToolBox o ers a smart, no-fuss setup experience for your Javelin, and has been designed to simplify and speed up con guration.

You must install ToolBox before connecting the Javelin to your computer. If you have already connected your Javelin using the Bridge Key, please disconnect before continuing.

WIRING

7.1 - Terminal access

Electrical connections are made via angled screw terminals on the top and bottom of the Javelin.

Due to the angle of the terminals, inserting a wire in a front terminal will block screwdriver access to the terminal directly behind it.

For example, in Fig 3 (right), the wire for Terminal L on the underside of the Javelin blocks access to Terminal H.

Because of this, the unit must be wired in sequence, starting with the terminals at the back of the unit and moving towards the front.

Fig 3

Wire for Terminal L blocks access to

Terminal H

7.2 - Screw terminal wiring

Wiring diagrams for your Javelin can be found on the product label, in this manual (7.3–7.5), or in the Help Panel of the De ne ToolBox so ware. When wiring your Javelin, check all connections against the terminal letters, which are embossed on the unit next to the screw for each terminal.

All conductors must conform to the unit's voltage and current ratings, and be suitably rated for the expected temperature range to be incurred.

Strip the wire, leaving around 0.25" (6mm) of bare lead exposed. If you are using stranded wire, this should be tinned with solder. Insert the lead into the terminal in the correct position, and tighten until the wire is secure. Verify tightness by pulling on the wire.

Follow all local codes and regulations when wiring and installing your Javelin. Each terminal is rated to accept one wire from #14 AWG (2.5mm) to #20 AWG. However it is also possible to accept two #18 AWG wires, or up to four #20 AWG wires.

CAUTION

All  eld wiring must be rated at a minimum of 80°C (176°F).
