Moore Industries’ Programmable Isolated RTD
Transmitter (RIY) is a 2-wire, microprocessor-based
instrument that converts an RTD or ohms input into a
4-20 mA output. The output is field-configurable to be
linear with temperature or linear with an ohms input.
The highly accurate RIY features easy-to-use push
buttons, a rotary switch, and a SIP switch for field
calibration and configuration.
This manual contains descriptive, calibration, installation, and operation information for the RIY. Also
included in this manual is a quick reference page
containing often referred to setup and hookup information (see appendix A).
Notes and cautions are provided throughout this
manual to help you avoid minor inconveniences
(NOTES) and equipment damage (CAUTIONS).
Description
The RIY is a loop-powered, RTD transmitter that
accepts an input from 2-, 3-, or 4-wire RTD’s, or a
resistance source. The RIY processes the input
signal using digital technology and produces a
proportional 4-20 mA output.
• Readouts in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, or
ohms (only on units with LCD’s)
• Sensor type and number to be input to the RIY
• Upscale/downscale drive
• Quick/standard ranging
• Keyboard lockout/enable
The RIY is available in two housing styles; a hockeypuck (HP) housing and a DIN-style housing. Both
housing styles have the same operational features
and offer the same options. The intended application
of the RIY must be clearly identified to determine
which housing style is most suitable.
The standard HP-style housing is equipped with
spring clips for mounting in explosionproof enclosures. An RIY packaged in an HP-style housing and
equipped with flange plates (FL Housing option) is
designed to mount on a flat surface or on relay tracks.
The configuration switches for HP-style units are
accessible through a removable panel at the rear of
each unit.
The all-aluminum DIN-style housing snaps directly
onto standard G-type or Top-hat DIN rails. The
configuration switches for DIN-style units are accessible through a removable panel on the upper rightside panel of the unit. The physical layout of the
configuration switches in DIN-style units is identical to
that of HP-style units.
Tactile push buttons, located on the front panel, are
used to set the zero and span (full-scale). The values
entered are stored in an EEPROM and remain, even
when power is removed, until the values are changed
by the user. The push buttons provide greater
calibration accuracy and stability than do potentiometer adjustments of non-microprocessor-based
instruments.
A 4-digit, liquid crystal display (LCD) is standard on
the RIY. (The RIY is available without the LCD.) This
display provides readouts of the applied input (either
in temperature or ohms), and it displays problem
codes. (The LCD is required for
Switches are used to configure several functional
characteristics of the RIY. Each of these switches is
accessible without disassembling the unit. The

Calibration
Prior to shipment, every RIY is factory-checked using
automated test equipment. Duplication of the factory
check is not expected nor intended for the field.
However, field calibration procedures involving use of
the front panel push buttons and the configuration
switches are described in this section for field applications.
Both the HP- and DIN-style housings are available
with the same options, and they have the same push
button and switch arrangements. The following
descriptions of the push buttons and configuration
switches pertain to both housing styles.
Using the Push Buttons
The RIY is equipped with a membrane panel that
contains four tactile push buttons used to set zero
and span (full-scale). Figure 1 shows the layout of
the membrane panel for both the HP- and DIN-style
units. Each push button is labeled with an Up or
Down arrow inside a circular background that is
contoured to the membrane-panel surface.
The functions of the push buttons are labeled
“ZERO”, “SPAN”, “SAVE”, and “CANCEL”. When the
arrows are pressed individually or in certain simultaneous combinations, one of these four functions is
affected.

CAUTION
The push buttons are not designed to be
actuated with sharp, pointed objects.
Using a pen, screwdriver, or other sharp
object will damage the push buttons.
Using the Configuration Switches
A rotary switch and a single in-line package (SIP)
switch are used to configure the RIY for user-selectable operating and calibration parameters.
Figure 2 shows the layout of the configuration
switches and the switch setting options for SW301.
The switch settings for rotary switch SW302 are listed
in table 2. The reference designators and physical
layout of the switches in the HP- and DIN-style units
are identical.
The switches for HP-style units are accessed through
a cutout at the rear of the unit. The cutout is filled
with a small, removable panel. A narrow, slottedhead screwdriver may be used to gently pry the panel
off the unit to access the switches.

Switches for DIN-style units are accessed by removing a small, L-shaped panel from the upper right-side
of the unit. This panel is bent over the top, right-side
edge of the unit and is secured with a single screw on
top. A Phillips-head screwdriver is required to
remove one screw securing the small L-shaped panel
to the housing frame.
The configuration switches are used to set the
following features:

Reading the LCD
The 4-digit, liquid crystal display (LCD) of the RIY
displays:
• the currently applied input in degrees Celsius
(°C), degrees Fahrenheit (°F), or ohms (Ω)
• the calibrated zero or span settings when called
for during normal operation
• zero and span input values during calibration
• “–LO–” or “–HI–” when the input value exceeds
the lower or upper range table limits for a
particular input range, as determined by the
setting of the Range Switch

operation (refer to the Operation Section for
code definitions)
The LCD is also used to perform
feature allows you to calibrate the RIY using predetermined representative zero and span (full-scale) input
values. However, quick ranging can only be performed on units with an LCD.
The LCD operates independently from the highly
accurate conversion circuits of the RIY. Field calibration of the LCD itself is typically not required, as the
performance of the LCD does not affect the accuracy
of the output. However, if the LCD readings drift
beyond the accuracy ratings stated in table 1, you
should consult the factory for LCD calibration requirements. To check the LCD’s accuracy in the field, the
RIY must be supplied a highly accurate and controllable input signal, and then the input device and the
RIY’s LCD readings compared.
The LCD on the RIY displays the input readings in
degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit, or Ohms. The
values displayed in various functional modes are
either rounded off to the nearest whole digit or they
are exact values.
When the RIY is in any display mode other than quick
ranging, such as the operate mode, standard ranging,
or display zero or span values, the LCD displays input
values that are electronically rounded to the nearest
whole unit (e.g., 121, 1143, 237). Because the actual
input to the RIY includes temperature or resistance
values that are not exactly whole units (e.g., 120.6,
1142.91, 237.4), the RIY rounds off the input to the
nearest whole unit for display purposes. However,
the electronics process the exact input value.
When the RIY is in quick ranging, the values displayed are exact to the least significant whole unit
(e.g., 121.0, 1143.0 237.0), because these values are
computed internally.
Labels denoting the unit-of-measure that the display
reading indicates are provided with the RIY. These
adhesive-backed labels are marked “°F”, “°C”, and “Ω”.
These labels are sized to fit in the lower, angled
portion of the LCD frame. Figure 3 shows all three
labels at actual size.

Before ranging (or calibrating) the RIY, you should
verify all switch settings to ensure that the unit will
operate in a predictable manner. Refer to the subsection titled “Using the Configuration Switches”
presented earlier in this section for switch setting
options.
Standard Ranging Overview
Standard ranging is used to set the zero- and 100percent output settings of the RIY based on userselected input values. The input values are simulated
by calibration equipment to represent actual RTD or
resistance input values. Refer to a resistancetemperature table for ohm values representative of
RTD temperature values.
Standard ranging is the only field calibration possible
for units without an LCD. Whether your RIY has an
LCD or not, you should rely on the readings from the
calibration equipment while performing standard
ranging.
By setting switch SW301-5 to the ‘off’ position, the
unit is configured for standard ranging (see figure 2).
Trimming. ‘Trimming’ is a feature of standard
ranging that allows the user to vary the zero- and
100-percent output values using the ZERO and SPAN
push buttons, respectively.
Trimming the zero-percent setting varies the zero
reference point and the 100-percent output value,
proportionally. For this reason, when a new zero
input value is captured, all previously set trim values
are eliminated. The
constant while trimming the zero-percent output.
Trimming the 100-percent output with the SPAN push
buttons varies only the full-scale output value; the
zero reference point remains at the level it was last
set to. The zero-percent output should always be
trimmed before trimming the 100-percent output.

Standard Ranging Setup
To perform standard ranging you need an input

device. Table 3 lists the calibration equipment and
the equipment accuracy required to perform this
method of ranging.

Figure 4 illustrates the calibration setup required to

To monitor the output, a dc voltmeter and a precision
load resistor are called for. Volmeter readings of 1-5
Vdc read across a 250 ohm resistor represent 4-20
mA, proportionally. An output reading of 3 Vdc is
equal to a 12 mA output with a 250 Ohm resistor.
Similar calculations can be made over the 1-5 Vdc

Quick Ranging Overview & Setup
Quick ranging is a unique feature that allows the user
to calibrate an RIY equipped with an LCD, without the
use of an input source or an output monitoring device.
With switch SW301-5 set to the ‘on’ position and
SW301-6 is set to the ‘off’ position, a 12-42 Vdc
power source applied to the +PS and –PS terminals
of the RIY is all that is required to perform quick
ranging. The front-panel push buttons are used to set
zero and span (full-scale) values to user-selected
input settings that yield the desired zero- and 100percent outputs. The user selected values are
displayed on the unit’s LCD.
When quick ranging is selected, the RIY ignores any
input applied to the input terminals. The zero-percent
output will be 4 mA for whatever value zero is set to
with the ZERO push buttons, and the 100-percent
output will be 20 mA for whatever the full-scale value
is set to with the SPAN push buttons.
The RIY can be set up for reverse output using quick
ranging. To do this, simply increase the zero setting
beyond the full-scale setting, and decrease the fullscale setting below the zero setting. When the zero
and span output settings cross one another, reverse
output is achieved. The reverse output setup is
accomplished while selecting the zero and span
settings in the upcoming procedure.
Figure 5 illustrates the dc power hookup required to
perform quick ranging of the RIY.
If the unit is configured for standard ranging, the
display will continually flash the applied input value
when the Up and Down arrows are pressed simultaneously to enter the calibrate mode. Pressing the Up
or Down arrows will have no affect on the displayed
value. This reaction indicates that the unit is NOT
configured for quick ranging.
Quick Ranging Procedure
1. Set range and other configuration switches for the
required RTD or ohms input, as necessary (refer
to figure 2 and table 2).
NOTE
Switch SW301-5 must be set to the ‘on’
position to perform quick ranging, and
set SW301-6 to the ‘off’ position for units
with this switch functional for keyboard
enable.

RIY
Ranging the RIY for a Differential Input
Some applications require a differential input, which
consists of two sensors connected to the RIY where
the difference between them influences the 4-20 mA
output of the RIY. For example, when resistance of
one sensor (RTD) increases while the other remains
constant the output of the RIY may also increase
toward 20 mA. If both inputs are varying, increasing
and decreasing in value, the output will vary proportionally with the difference of the two inputs.
Although the RIY
inputs
, the following procedure allows you to verify
the response of the RIY as you vary the inputs.
To range an RIY for differential input operation, you
must determine the minimum and maximum differential input values for the intended application. The
lower differential value will be used to set the zero
output level and the higher differential value will be
used to set the span output level. The following
examples show how to determine the zero-percent
and full-scale differential values based on known
(substitute your own values) minimum and maximum
input temperature ranges.

Selecting a 100-percent Differential Input. The
following examples show how to determine a 100percent differential input setting that produces a 100-

Selecting a Zero-percent Differential Input. The
following examples show how to determine a zeropercent differential input that produces a zero-percent

The HP Housing. Figure 7 is an outline dimension
drawing of the HP-style unit with the FL housing
option. The spring clips on standard HP-style units
have no dimensional significance, so they are not
shown here.
The standard HP-style housing is equipped with
spring clips, which hold the unit in place when
mounted in an explosionproof enclosure. The spring
clips are squeezed inward to allow for positioning of
the unit in the base of the enclosure. When released,
they recoil to an extended position slightly over the
outer edge of the unit, providing adequate outward
force to hold the unit in place.
For other applications, an HP-style unit equipped with
flange plates (the FL Housing option) can be mounted
on relay tracks or a sturdy flat surface. While for
other applications, the DIN-style housing that mounts
on standard DIN rails is more suitable.
The DIN-style Housing. Figure 8 is an outline
dimension drawing of the DIN-style RIY. The all
aluminum DIN-style units mount directly onto standard G-type (DIN EN50035) or Top-hat (DIN
EN50022), DIN rails. This packaging is ideal for highdensity mounting of DIN-style packages on a common DIN rail.
Making the Electrical Connections
Installation
Installing the RIY consists of physically mounting the
unit and completing the electrical connections.
Before installing the RIY, you should perform a bench
check and calibration, if needed, to confirm that the
configuration of the unit is appropriate for the intended application.
Mounting the RIY
The RIY is available in an HP- or DIN-style housing.
Mounting considerations differ for each of these
housing style.
The RIY is a loop-powered instrument. The terminals
for the loop-power connections are marked “+PS” and
“–PS”. The loop-power connections and the input
connections marked “1”, “2”, “3”, and “4” are the only
electrical connections to be made to the RIY. These
terminals are clearly marked on the front panel of
each unit.
Electrical connections for HP-style units are made at
the front panel to individual compression screw
terminals; one for each connection. Each terminal
has a slotted-head screw that is used to terminate
electrical wires.
On DIN-style units, the sensor input and loop-power
connections are made to removable terminal blocks.
Wires are connected to these blocks through openings in the top, and secured by compression screws
on the front of each block.
Shielded, twisted wire should be used for input signal
connections. The shield of the wire set should be
grounded to an earth ground potential as close to the
RIY as possible. The HP-style unit has a grounding
lug on its top that may be used for this purpose.

RIY
Operation
Operating the RIY is limited to viewing the LCD for
input values, zero or span reading, or problem codes;
and performing quick ranging using the push buttons.
Units that are not equipped with an LCD have no
definitive operating procedures.
The LCD
The LCD also displays problem codes resulting from
the RIY’s self-diagnostics. Codes indicate malfunctions or discrepancies detected by the RIY’s microprocessor at power-up, during calibration, or in the
operate mode. Table 4 contains these codes, the
problem indicated, and the remedy for each.
The LCD is the only visual indicator on the RIY;
without it, the user has no on-the-spot, visual indication as to the settings or operational status of the RIY.
When a non-LCD unit is calibrated with standard
ranging methods, it can be reliably installed in a
process loop, but it can not be quick ranged and must
be removed from the loop for subsequent calibrations.

read-out of the LCD changes accordingly.
The LCD can also display the zero and span settings
during normal operation when the appropriate front
panel push button is pressed.

RIY
If zero or span settings need to be changed, the unit
can be quick ranged using loop-power and the LCD.
(SW301-5 must be set to ‘on’ and SW301-6 set to 'off'
to perform quick ranging.) The front panel push
buttons and the LCD are used to set these values to
the desired settings.
The Push Buttons
During normal operation, the push buttons are used
to call-up and display the zero and full-scale settings.
Pressing either of the ZERO push buttons during
normal operation displays the most recent zero
setting. When either of the SPAN push buttons are
pressed during normal operation, the most recent fullscale setting is displayed.
If a switch, or combination of switches, is changed
during normal operation, one of the front panel push
buttons must be pressed to acknowledge the new
settings. After making the desired switch setting
changes, pressing any one of the four push buttons
(or by cycling the power) causes the unit to reset and
the microprocessor will register the switch change(s).
The push buttons are also used in conjunction with
the LCD to perform quick ranging. (Refer to the
Calibration Section for the quick ranging procedure.)
Maintenance
The RIY is designed to operate reliably with a minimum of field maintenance.
Field maintenance is limited to keeping the unit clean
and the wire terminals free of oxidation. Periodic
visual inspections should be performed to ensure the
unit is clean and the electrical connections are in
good condition. The frequency of these inspections is
based on the environment in which the unit is operated. But, it is recommended that inspections be
conducted at least once every six months.
If the RIY is mounted in an explosion-proof enclosure,
the unit will remain much cleaner for a longer period
of time than if it is openly exposed to changing
environmental conditions.
To perform a thorough calibration of the RIY, the unit
must be removed from the process loop and checked
out using the standard ranging method described in
the Calibration Section.
Should performance problems arise, or for technical
assistance, you should contact your local Moore
Industries’ Customer Service Department. In the
U.S.A. call toll-free 1-800-999-2900.
NOTE: For expanded switch setting information refer to the Calibration Section of the RIY User’s
Manual. For expanded hookup information refer to the Installation Section. For expanded
problem code information refer to the Operation Section.
