GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IAMS — Universal Signal Conditioners unmatched capability provides
users the ultimate in flexibility. As a signal conditioner, the unit provides
complete isolation and conversion capability to satisfy almost any application.
The Universal Input accepts Process, DC Current, DC Voltage, Thermocouples,
RTDs, Potentiometers, and Linear Resistance signals allowing the module to be
connected to most sensors. The setpoint model allows dual setpoint control
capability through dual Form A relays. The analog model provides a retransmitted
analog signal. A third model provides both analog and dual setpoint control
capability. The power supply is universal, accepting 21.6 to 253 VAC/ 19.2 to
300 VDC as its power source. Add the optional programming module and the
unit is easily programmed through menu style programming. The module can
also be used to provide a display of the process variable when it is not being
used for programming.
The IAMS features well over 100 combinations of inputs to outputs
configurations. Input specific terminals allow for the various signals and sensors
to be connected to the unit while the input ranges and resolutions are adjusted
in the input programming loop of the unit. The menu style programming allows
the user quick and easy set-up by using the PGMMOD, programming module.
The module is required to program the IAMS. However, if you are using more
than one IAMS, only one programming module is required. The module can
store programming from one unit and load it to a second unit reducing set-up
time for multiple installations. When the programming module is not being used
for programming, it can indicate the input parameters.

The unit’s overall full scale accuracy typically exceeds 0.1 % depending on
the range selection and scaling. The microprocessor based design provides ease
of field scaling and the onboard E2PROM stores scaling values for future recall.
All units come factory calibrated for all input and output ranges. Factory or
custom field scaling can be selected in the Advanced programming loop. The
IAMS can be recalibrated in the field if desired.
DIN rail mounting saves time and panel space. The units are equipped with
mounting feet to attach to top hat profile rail according to EN50022 – 35 x 7.5
and 35 x 15.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature 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.
CAUTION: Risk of Danger
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation of the unit.
To keep the safety distances, the relay contacts on the devices
must not be connected to both hazardous and non-hazardous
voltages at the same time.
INSTALLATION
The IAMS devices must be mounted on a DIN rail according
to DIN 46277.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.

PROGRAMMING MODULE
Voltage, 1 V Voltage, 10 V
The PGMMOD, Programming/Display Module easily connects to the front of
the IAMS and is used to enter or adjust the programming of the IAMS. Insert
the top of the programming module first, then allow the bottom to lock into the
unit. For applications that require more than one IAMS, the same programming
module can be used to program multiple units. In fact, it can store the
configuration from one IAMS and download the same configuration to another
module. When programming is complete, leave the programming module in
place to display the process data or to remove, press the release tab on the
bottom of the programming module.
INSTALLING THE UNIT
The IAMS is designed to mount to a top hat profile DIN rail. The unit should
be installed in a location that does not exceed the maximum operating
temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near devices that
generate excessive heat should be avoided.
WIRING THE UNIT
Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the top/
bottom of the unit. All conductors should conform to the unit’s voltage and
current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good
installation, local codes, and regulations. It is recommened that power supplied
to the unit (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.
When wiring the unit, compare the numbers on the terminal blocks against
those shown in wiring drawings. Insert the wire under the correct screw-clamp
terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify tightness.)
Display: LCD display with 4 lines; line 1 is 0.2" (5.5 mm) and displays the
input signal, line 2 is 0.13" (3.33 mm) and displays units, line 3 is 0.13" (3.33
mm) and displays analog output or tag number,
line 4 shows communication and relay status
Programming Mode: Three push buttons
combined with a simple and easily understandable
menu structure and help text guides you
effortlessly through the configuration steps.
Password Protection: Programming access
may be blocked by assigning a password. The
password is saved in the IAMS to guard against
unautherized modifications to the configuration.
A default password of “2008” allows access to all
configuration menus.
