GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model GMTC, GMRTD, GMINI, and GMINV are 16-bit analog input
modules designed for use with the Graphite Series. These modules provide a
means of high-density signal measurement for data-acquisition applications.
The GMTC module accepts a wide range of thermocouple types, while the
GMRTD accepts various RTD inputs. The GMINI and GMINV accept 0/4-20
mA and ±10 V process signals, respectively.

The modules connect and communicate via proprietary USB connection to the
various Graphite host devices. The Graphite host devices, equipped with serial
ports as well as an Ethernet port(s), allows the system to share data with PCs,
PLCs, and SCADA systems. The maximum number of modules varies for each
Graphite host device, see specific models for details.

Once programmed, the module will continue to operate/ control independent of
the Graphite host device as long as power is applied. Remove power from the host
device before installing or replacing any modules.

DIMENSIONS In inches (mm)

CONFIGURATION

The Graphite Series is configured with Windows® compatible Crimson®
software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which provides a
means of configuration and commissioning of new systems, as well as routine
module re-calibration.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the module to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the module. An independent and redundant
temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly recommended.
