IVA-420I User Manual
Description
Available Configurations
Description
The unit can be factory set to one of three configurations. In the most
standard configuration, the IVA-420I converts the transmitter digital signal
to 4-20 mA analog outputs.
Although the unit is preconfigured, it is also possible to modify
configurations using the unit’s DIP switch (see Changing the IVA-420I
Configuration section).
Available Configurations
This section provides details on the various IVA-420I configurations
available as well as various wiring diagrams. The IVA-420I converter may
be configured in three modes: Listening, Polling and Split Address.
Listening Mode
In this mode, the IVA-420I only listens to the information transmitted
between the controller and the transmitters. It does not intervene in
network operation. The converter transforms the digital signal from the
transmitters into a 4-20 mA analog sig nal.
Once set, the converter provides a 4-20 mA analog signal for the
transmitters at addresses 1 to 8 or 9 to 16 if the converter is connected
to channel 1 of the 201C, and 17 to 24 or 25 to 32 if the converter is
connected to channel 2.
Each converted signal is associated to a distinct output (J16 through
J23).
Three statistic values are also available: Minimum, Maxim um and
Average, with the appropriate settings. Th ese values are available with
addresses 1 to 8, 9 to 16, or 1 to 16 if the converter is connected to
channel 1 of the 201C , or 17 t o 24, 25 t o 32, or 17 to 32 if the con verter
is connected to channel 2. The outputs associated with the statistic
mode are the following:
Output J20: Average
Output J18: Minimum
Output J16: Maximum

Description
Available Configurations
Polling Mode
In this mode, the converter polls the network. There is no 201C on the
network. The IVA-420I (master) polls the transmitters (slaves) and converts
the digital signal from the transmitters into a 4-20 mA analog signal.
Once set, the converter provides a 4-20 mA analog signal for the
transmitters at address 1 to 8 or 9 to 16 if the converter is connected to
channel 1 of the 201C, and 17 to 24 or 25 to 32 if the converter is
connected to channel 2. Each converted signal is associated with a
distinct output (J16 thro ugh J23).
Three statistic values are also available : Minimum, Maximum and
Average, with the appropriate settings. These values are available with
addresses 1 to 8, 9 to 16, or 1 to 16 if the converter is connected to
channel 1 of the 201C , or 17 to 24 , 25 to 32, or 17 to 3 2 if the co n verter
is connected to channel 2.
Split Address Mode
(Listening or Polling)
This mode is used with a SQN8x (4 points, 2 gases). The SQN8x uses
4 points per gas. Addresses 1 to 4 a re f or th e first gas a nd addres ses 9
to 12 for th e second gas.
On the IVA-420I, the addresses are fixed. Addresses 1 to 4 are attributed to
the first 4 outputs and addresses 9 to 12 are attributed to the last 4
outputs. This configuration allows for the use of only one IVA-420I with a
SQN8x with two gases.

Available Configuration for 301C
Available Configuration for 301C
This function is only available with recent versions (2005 onward).
When used with the 301C, it is in listening mode only; the broadcast
mode must be activated on the controller side.
Addresses can be selected in gr oups of 8 (i.e. 1 - 8, 9-16 and so on
until 89-96. See DIP Switch settings for further details). There are also
three (3) statistic values available for select ed groups: Minimum,
Maximum and Average.
Each converted signal is associated to the following outputs;
Output J20: Average;
Output J18: Minimum;
Output J16: Maximum.

Wiring Details
4-20 mA Current Sourcing Output Wiring
The transmitter supplies the loop current. The maximum impedance
supported by the loop is 400 ohms. To enable this configuration, the
three jumpers must be placed on positions 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6 at distinct
outputs J16 through J23.
A dedicated power supply must be used with each unit.

Wiring Details
4-20 mA Output Loop-powered Wiring
4-20 mA Output Loop-powered Wiring
(Factory Setting)
The 4-20 mA output is factory set for loop-powered operation and
requires a power source of 12 Vdc to 30 Vdc. The overall permitted
impedance depends on the voltage supplied at the 4-20 mA loop. To
enable this configuration, the three jumpers must be placed on
positions 2-3, 4-5 and 6-7 at distinct outputs J16 through J23.
The IVA-420I has 8 4-20 mA outputs. It converts a digital signal entering at
J15 into an analog signal through outputs J16 to J23 . The output
signal is linear to the input. The 4 mA output represents the minimum
scale from the input and the 20 mA output represents the maximum
scale from the input.

4-20 mA Output Adjustments
4-20 mA Output Adjustments
Before changing the S1 DIP switch settings for the 4-20 mA
adjustments, note the actual setting to reset the dip switch for
normal operation. After the adjustments are made, replace
jumpers at S2 through S9 to the correct configuration.
The outputs must be set for current sourcing configuration. Install
jumpers at positions 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6 for S2 through S9.
WARNING
Do NOT use Current Sourcing Configuration if there will be
voltage on the line.
Set Dipswitch S1 as follows for 4 mA adjustment:
Dip1: OFFDip2: OFF
Dip3: ONDip4: OFF
With your ampmeter at each output, adjust the 4 mA with
Potentiometers P9 through P16.
Set Dipswitch S1 as follows for 20 mA adjustment:
Dip1: OFFDip2: ON
Dip3: ONDip4: OFF
With your ampmeter at each output, adjust the 20 mA with
potentiometers P1 through P8.
Once completed, replace the settings to their original places.
