Rapid Accuracy Adjustment
Field Congurable Input Ranges
DIP Switch Conguration
Eliminates Ground Loops
Description
The DRI-U-AC is a DC powered, DIN rail mount, RTD,
thermocouple, mV or Ohm input signal conditioner with 1800V
isolation between input, output and power. The eld congurable
input and output offers exible, wide ranging capability for most
temperature signal conditioning applications.
The DRI-U-AC is congured via DIP switch for the thermocouple
type (B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S, T) or the RTD type (Pt, Ni & Cu).
Additionally, functions such as signal linearization, up or down
scale burnout, number of RTD leads (2, 3, 4) and voltage or
current output are also set via dip switches (see Tables).
Rapid Accuracy Adjustment
Accuracy and performance are maximized during warmup
and during changes in ambient temperature. The patented
cold-junction compensation technique utilizes two temperature
sensors to measure the differential temperature near the
terminal block. Using heat transfer calculations with the
measured differential temperature and the known thermal
conductivity of the PCB, the terminal junction temperature
is determined with extreme accuracy. Even during unstable
thermal states such as start-up, ambient temperature changes
or changing load or power, the DRI-U-AC performs extremely
accurate thermocouple temperature measurement.
System performance and productivity are improved due to
reduced warm up time, fewer temperature measurement errors
and tighter process control for higher quality. Most signicantly,
it allows calibration to be checked quickly and accurately without
the effects of rapid ambient temperature changes due to opening
a control panel door, which often causes erroneous readings and
miscalibrations; a common cause of measurement errors.
Touch Calibration Technology
Touch Calibration technology allows easy eld ranging for any
of the thermocouple or RTD input types. For example, the dip

in Proportion to the Temperature Signal Input
Touch Calibration Technology
High Density DIN Rail Mounting
Universal AC power 85 to 265 VAC
Plug-in Terminals
switch congured range for the J type thermocouple is -210
to 760°C. Using a thermocouple simulator as a reference, the
model DRI-U-AC could be ranged for 0 to 50°C or 0 to 500°C by
simply applying the desired minimum and maximum input levels
and pushing the range button to store the levels in non-volatile
memory. The output is ranged by applying an input signal to
achieve an accurate output level and pushing the range button.
Applications
The model DRI-U-AC eld congurable thermocouple or RTD
input isolator is useful in eliminating ground loops and interfacing
temperature sensors to data acquisition and control systems.
Three-way isolation completely eliminates ground loops from
any source. Isolation protects expensive SCADA systems
from ground faults and allows the noise reduction benets of
grounded thermocouples or sensors to be realized.
The DRI-U-AC employs the latest analog to digital
signal processing technology and advanced low-power
microprocessors. Instant Accuracy cold-junction-compensation
(CJC) of thermocouples, and lead length compensation for
RTDs ensures an extremely accurate and stable signal for
virtually any temperature sensor to DC signal conversion.
High density DIN rail mounting offers a very compact solution
and saves valuable panel space. Power is delivered to the
DRI-U-AC using the exclusive ACPB rail which reduces wiring
requirements and the need to daisy-chain power. Plug-in
terminals ensure easy installation and low Mean-Time-ToRepair (MTTR).
Diagnostic LEDS
The DRI-U-AC is equipped with front panel LEDs for input power
(green-on), input overrange and underrange; input open circuit
(yellow-on); and switch setting error (red-on).

The DRI-U-AC can be congured via DIP switchs for a wide
variety of temperature input ranges for RTD, thermocouple, ohm
and millivolt sensors. Inputs can be offset by >90% or adjusted
down to <10% of the full scale span.
Unless a specic customer range is ordered, the factory presets
the DRI-U-AC as follows:
Input Type: Thermocouple, J-Type
Input Range: 0 to 500°C
Burnout: Up Scale
Output Range: 4/20mA
Refer to the tables for other I/O ranges.
1. With power off, snap off the faceplate by lifting the right edge
away from the heatsink.
2. For RTD or Resistance inputs, set position 1 and 2 of SW2 for
2, 3 or 4 wire resistance input (see Table 1). For thermocouple
inputs these switches ignored and can be in any position.
3. Congure the output for voltage or current using position 3
of SW2 (see Table 2).
5. If the output range desired is the full scale range for the output
type (e.g. 4-20mA or 2-10V), then set position 5 of SW2 to ON
for either of the full scale default output ranges (see Table 4). If
conguration of a sub-range is preferred (e.g. 12-20mA or 1-5V),
then set position 5 of SW2 to OFF (or open) to enable use of
the ranging pushbutton adjustment.
6. Set Burnout detection with position 6 of SW2 (see Table 6).
The ON position (up scale) will force the output beyond full scale
when the t/c input is open circuit. The OFF position (down scale)
will force the output below 0% when the input is open circuit.
7. Set the t/c Linearization function with position 7 of SW2 (see
Table 7). The ON position will provide an output linear to the
temperature input signal. The OFF position will provide an output
directly proportional to the thermoelectric (mV) input (i.e. not
linearized to temperature).
Note: The unit must be congured with linearization turned ON. Once
the conguration is saved, linearization can then be turned OFF.
8. Set the Conguration Mode with position 8 of SW2 (see Table
8). The ON position is for DIP switch conguration. The OFF
position is for conguring via PC using a serial interface cable
(consult factory regarding cable and software).
Calibration
The DRI-U-AC is a microprocessor based circuit with internal
references that are factory calibrated to better than 0.000005V.
For this reason the DRI-U-AC does not need eld calibration,
but it can be congured (ranged) in the eld for virtually any
temperature to DC I/O combination.
For best results ranging should be performed in the operating
installation, allowing at least 30 minutes for thermal equilibrium of
the system. If ranging on a test bench is preferred, then an output
load equal to the input impedance of the device connected to the
output is recommended, along with a 30 minute warm up period.
1. After conguring the unit, install the module onto a piece of
DIN rail and the ACPB rail mounting combination. See the ACPB
rail data sheet for details.
2. Connect the input to a calibrated thermocouple simulator or
resistance source and the output to a voltage or current meter.
Apply power and allow the system to reach thermal equilibrium
(approx. 30 minutes).
3. Adjust the input signal to the desired maximum and observe
that the green LED is on. Push the CAL button and hold it down
for more than 5 seconds (until the yellow and red LEDs are on).
Note: To quit the calibration mode and reset the unit, push the
CAL button and hold for more than 5 seconds. Or, wait for more
than ve minutes and the unit will time-out and automatically
reset to the previously stored calibration.
4. Push the CAL button momentarily (the yellow and green LEDs
will now be on).
5. Apply the maximum input signal level, then push the CAL
button to store. The yellow LED will now be on.
6. Apply the minimum input signal level, then push the CAL button to store. The green and red LEDs will now be on.
7. Adjust the input signal while monitoring the output signal until
the output is at the desired maximum level (e.g. 20.00mA), then
push the CAL button to store (the red LED will be on).
8. Adjust the input signal while monitoring the output signal until
the output is at the desired minimum level (e.g. 4.00mA), then
push the CAL button to store (the yellow, green and red LEDs
will be on).
9. To nish calibration, push the CAL button once again. The
green LED will be on if the input is within the calibrated range.
4. If the input range desired is the full scale range for the input
type (e.g. Pt100 Ohm = -200°C to 850°C), then set position 4
of SW2 to ON (or closed) for this default range (see Table 3). If
conguration of a sub-range is preferred (e.g. Pt100 Ohm, 0 to
500°C), then set position 4 of SW2 to OFF (or open) to enable
use of the ranging pushbutton adjustment.
Table 1: RTD Type
Table 2: Output Type
Table 3: Input Range Type*
Table 4: Output Range Type*
*Default for Outputs is either 2-10V or 4-20mA. Default for Inputs is
the “Input Range” specied in Table 9. Note that if the input or output
is set for default, then the input or output calibration will be skipped in
the pushbutton programming sequence.

Table 6: Burnout Detection
Table 8: Cong Mode
9. Set the Input Type with position 1 and 2 of SW3 (see Table 5).
10. Set the specic RTD, thermocouple, millivolt or resistance
input with position 3 through 6 of SW3 (see Table 9).
Table 9: Input Select
Input to Output error at 25°C is less than or equal to the Input Accuracy, plus the Linearization
Accuracy, plus the Output Accuracy (plus the CJC Error for T/C Inputs).
