SECTION ONE
ISOLATED SIGNAL CONDITIONER OPTIONS
1.1 GENERAL
The isolated signal conditioner options provide one or two low level, isolated amplifier
channels. Each channel offers:
Adjustable trigger level by a multiturn potentiometer
Three levels of hysteresis, selectable by push-on jumpers
A one-shot (monostable multivibrator) with selectable time for debouncing purposes
Selectable RC filters for contact closure or low frequency applications
High sensitivity (±10 mV) and high protection level (260 V rms) inputs
The above features and the 12.4 V at 20 mA excitation output make this signal conditioner
compatible with a wide range of signal sources such as: contact closure, NPN or PNP opencollector outputs, passive inductive pickups, and most active sensors including NAMUR
standard types.

1.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The signal conditioner board is positioned as a mezzanine, supported by the rear
panel and a slot on the display board (Figure 1-1).

TO INSTALL:
IMPORTANT: Turn-off the power and input signals from the unit before proceeding.
Failure to do so may result in injury!
CAUTION: The meter has no power-on switch; it will be in operation as soon as you
apply power. To change the factory preset jumpers, disconnect the power from the
unit. Failure to do so may result in injury! The jumpers must be changed by specially
trained personnel.
1. When using a signal conditioning board with the meter, the main board must
be jumper configured prior to installation. For single channel, install SA-I; for dual
channel, install SA-I and SB-I (main board). Refer to Section 1.8 for jumper selection
of input and output features.
2. The insulator board rests atop the lower rear panel, with the two tabs fitting into holes
on the display board.
3. Insert the tab of the signal conditioning board into the slot provided on the display
board.
4. Position J3, an 8-pin connector on the circuit side of the signal conditioner, to mate
with the P3 pins on the main board. Press the board downward until the rear
connectors rest on the lower rear panel.
5. Install the upper rear panel.
1.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Channels A and B of the signal conditioner work separately. The inputs are available on
connector TB3 and are electrically isolated from the counter. The outputs are connected to
the main board with connector J3.

1.4 INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
INPUTS
Signal conditioning inputs and excitation outputs are available on TB3, a 7-position header
(shown in Figure 1-1).
Refer to the block diagram in Figure 1-2. Channel A input is available on connector TB3–pin 4.
Pins 6 and 7 are allocated to DC and AC inputs on Channel B. Pins 3 and 5 are isolated
ground (signal return).
TB3 mates with two screw-clamp connectors: a 4-position, TB3J4, and a 3-position, TB3J3.
The 4-position connector may be used with a single or dual-channel signal conditioner; the
3-position may be used only with a dual-channel signal conditioner.
The trigger level can be adjusted between -2 and +2 volts. When the input signal has a large
DC level and does not cross the trigger level range, the AC input should be used. The AC
input is coupled to the DC input with a 0.1 uF capacitor. The maximum non-destructive DC
blocking voltage of this input is 250 V. This input should be left open when not used.

±10 mV DC - 1 kHz 5 Hz - 1 kHz
±25 mV DC - 20 kHz 2 Hz - 20 kHz
±50 mV DC - 100 kHz 2 Hz - 100 kHz
Table 1-2 Correlation of Sensitivity to Frequency Response
OUTPUTS
The outputs of the signal conditioner channels are connected to the main board through the
J3 connector. These outputs can be connected to the A and B inputs of the meter (pins 1 and 2
of TB2) by installing push-on jumpers on the I positions of SA and SB (Figure 1-2). Each output
can drive 10 LSTTL load (5 LSTTL when debounce monostable is bypassed) and is TTL / 5 V
CMOS compatible
.
In a single-channel signal conditioner (Channel A only), the output can be connected to either
or both A and B outputs by installing jumpers on the appropriate positions of S9, S12 and S15
(see Figure 1-5). However, when a jumper is installed on A or B position of S15, the S9
jumper must be removed.

Figure 1-2 Simplified Block Diagram of the Signal Conditioner
EXCITATION OUTPUT
A 12.4 V regulated excitation voltage is available on pins 1 and 2 of TB3 (Figure 1-1). This
voltage can be used to drive external transducers with operating currents up to 20 mA.
It should be noted that this voltage is isolated from the main board ground, not from the
isolated ground. Excitation HI and Excitation LO are +6.2 and -6.2 V respectively referenced
to isolated ground.
The EXC LO must not be connected to ISO GND
INPUT FILTER
Jumpers at S1 and S5 connect two .033 uF or .0022 uF capacitors to form an RC low-pass
filter for each input. The time constants of these filters are about 2.5 and .17 milliseconds.
When the input is a contact closure (between EXC HI and ISO DC input), the capacitor is
discharged through a 1 MOhm resistor to ISO GND, providing a time constant of
33 milliseconds. In this case, the trigger level should be adjusted between 0 and +2 V.
