DESCRIPTION
Each Opto 22 AD3, AD3T, and AD2T analog input module provides a
single channel of optically-isolated current-to-digital conversion. The
AD3T and AD2T modules offer additional channel-to-channel
isolation. For the AD3 and AD3T modules, the nominal input range is
4 to 20 mA with an under/over range capability from less than 3 mA
to greater than 35 mA. The AD2T module has a nominal input range
of 0 to 20 mA with an under/over range capability from less than –
1.25 mA to greater than 35 mA. The “T” modules also provide 4,000
Vrms channel-to-channel isolation which eliminates ground loop
problems. These modules plug into a Classic Standard analog I/O rack
and are secured by a captive screw.
NOTE: For connecting the AD2T
module, use AD3T module
diagrams and instructions.
AD3T: All of the lower A terminals on the
mounting rack are tied together. These
provide a convenient tie point for shared
loop source return. To use the AD3T
module with a common loop power
supply, connect any one lower A terminal
to the shared loop source “-”, then jumper
upper A to lower A for each AD3T.
