SCC OPEN SIGNAL Family
Model SCC-FRQ/V Single Channel Module
NOTE: THIS IS A FACTORY CONFIGURED UNIT
FACTORY CONFIGURATION
Each SCC-FRQ/V unit is configured and calibrated 
at the factory for the input signal range and voltage output range printed by the factory on the 
SCC unit’s side-label.
The SCC-FRQ/V unit is capable of accommodating a 0 to 25KHz input frequency at a signal magnitude of up to 250 volts and provides a 0 to 5V or 
0 to 10V output signal. Unit re-configuration 
requires Dwyer Instruments, Inc. Configurator 
Utility.
This SCC unit may be reconfigured by a user at 
any time via their personal computer (PC) or 
handheld personal computer (HPC) by installing 
Dwyer Instruments, Inc. Windows®/PC or Windows®/CE HPC based SC Configurator Utility, interfacing the SCC unit to the computer’s RS-232C 
comm port with an SCC Configuration Cable (sold 
separately), and then changing the unit’s input/ 
output configuration settings.
OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SCC family of single channel signal conditioning and isolating modues are intelligent, user 
programmable, high-accuracy, user friendly, signal conditioning units.
Each SCC model supports one (1) specific analog 
signal-type on its input channel and outputs either one (1) high-level current or voltage signal 
depending upon model. A diverse SCC model 
family permits users to select the model which 
meets their unique signal conditioning needs.
SCC models may be purchased with a factory preset configuration for plug-n-play application or
TERMINALS
available unconfigured so user may configure the 
unit to meet their unique need. All SCC models 
may be configured/reconfigured by a user at anytime through use of an optional SC Configuration 
Package.
Theory of Operation - An analog world input signal 
arriving at the SCC unit is isolated, filtered, amplified, scaled and/or linearized (as required) by the 
units onboard microprocessor under the direction 
of the unit’s configuration parameters set by the 
user (or factory) via Windows®/PC or Windows®/ 
CE HPC (Handheld Personal Computer) based SC 
Configurator Utility.
The conditioned signal is then converted to a high 
level analog current or voltage output signal (depending upon model) and presented at the unit’s 
isolated output.
REQUIREMENTS
Mandatory:
• 15 - 32VDC, 30mA external supply voltage

  Negative (-) to SCC terminal -FRQ/-VDC
4. Connect output actuator/device to SCC unit: 
  Positive (+) to SCC terminal +V OUT 
  Negative (-) to SCC terminal -OUT
DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
Two LEDs one RED and one GREEN are located 
on the front face of the SCC’s enclosure and provide user with visual indication as to unit operation.
LED FUNCTIONALITY
LED’s have three operational states:
Steady ON 
Steady OFF 
Blinking
Condition: GREEN = BLINKING
RED = Steady OFF
Meaning: Module is processing data.
Condition: GREEN = Steady ON
RED = Steady ON 
Meaning:   1) Configuration data is not loaded in 
module memory. -OR- 2) During module re-configuration both LED’s are normally ON indicating data is being properly transferred to or from 
module memory.
Condition: GREEN = BLINKING
RED = BLINKING 
Meaning:  The measured input signal is outside 
the modules configured range. When the signal is 
within configured range the LED’s indicate normal operation.
All other combinations indicate the module is not 
operating correctly.

CONFIGURATION CHANGE
An SCC’s configuration can only be changed 
through use of a personal computer running our 
Windows® based SC Configurator Utility and a 
special configuration communication cable to 
interface the SCC unit and personal computer 
together. (See Requirements - on reverse side for 
purchasing information.)
Instructions on how to accomplish configuration 
change are included with SC Configuration 
Package and not covered here.
