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.
