DESCRIPTION

The IRMA accepts an RTD or resistance input and converts it into a voltage or current output. The output is linearly proportional to the temperature or resistance input. This output is ideal for interfacing to indicators, chart recorders, controllers, or other instrumentation equipment.

The IRMA is DC powered. The DC power input is isolated from the signal input and analog output. The unit scales the analog output proportionally to the RTD or resistance input signal. The analog output may be configured for one of the following: 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, or 0 to 10 VDC. Making the signal conversion with the IRMA to a current output signal, makes the signal less susceptible to noise interference and allows accurate transmission over long distances. The 3-Way isolation allows the use of grounded RTD’s which can provide additional noise reduction benefits.

The IRMA uses an eight position DIP switch to accomplish the input sensor configuration, range selection, and unit calibration. A simple range setting technique (Field Calibration) is used so the actual input signal adjusts the output for scaling. This technique eliminates the need for potentiometers which are vulnerable to changes due to vibration.

The unit is equipped with a universal mounting foot for attachment to standard DIN style mounting rails, including top hat rail (T) according to EN 50

 7.5 and 35  15, and (G) profile according to EN 50 035 - G 32.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS

Open Sensor Detection

The output can be set to go Upscale or Downscale for the detection of an open sensor. The nominal values for each output range are listed under RTD Break Detection in the Specifications section. This setting is always active, so changes to the setting are effective immediately.

Unit Malfunction

If the unit has scaling problems (output remains at -0.5 mA, 3.5 mA, or -0.5 VDC nominal), check the ERROR LED on the front of the unit. An E2PROM problem is indicated when the ERROR LED is on. If the ERROR LED is on, perform a Basic Calibration followed by a Field Calibration. Turn the power off for 5 seconds. Turn power on and check if the ERROR LED is on. If the LED is on, contact the factory.

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Although this unit is designed with a high degree of immunity to ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical noise, source or coupling method into the unit may be different for various installations. Cable length, routing and shield termination are very

important and can mean the difference between a successful or a troublesome

installation. Listed below are some EMC guidelines for successful installation in an industrial environment.

1. Use shielded (screened) cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield

(screen) pigtail connection should be made as short as possible. The

connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application.

Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order

of their effectiveness.

a. Connect the shield only at the rail where the unit is mounted to earth ground

(protective earth).

b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when

the noise source frequency is above 1 MHz.

c. Connect the shield to common of the unit and leave the other end of the

shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.

2. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC

power lines, conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and heaters,

etc. The cables should be run in metal conduit that is properly grounded. This

is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long and portable

two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation is near a

commercial radio transmitter.

3. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as

possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy

components.

4. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression

devices, such as ferrite suppression cores, is effective. Install them on Signal

and Control cables as close to the unit as possible. Loop the cable through the

core several times or use multiple cores on each cable for additional protection.

Install line filters on the power input cable to the unit to suppress power line

interference. Install them near the power entry point of the enclosure. The

following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are recommended:

Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables:

Fair-Rite # 0443167251 (RLC #FCOR0000) TDK # ZCAT3035-1330A Steward #28B2029-0A0

Line Filters for input power cables:

Schaffner # FN610-1/07 (RLC #LFIL0000) Schaffner # FN670-1.8/07 Corcom #1VR3

Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.

5. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.

Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.

All conductors should meet voltage and current ratings for each terminal. Also, cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that power supplied to the unit be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. When wiring the unit, use the numbers on the label to identify the position number with the proper function. Strip the wire, leaving approximately 1/4" (6 mm) of bare wire exposed (stranded wire should be tinned with solder). Insert the wire into the terminal, and tighten the screw until the wire is clamped tightly.

POWER

Connect DC power to terminals #10 and #12 observing proper polarity. Be

certain DC power is within the 9 to 32 VDC specifications.

POWER LED

The IRMA has a green LED located on the front to indicate that power is

applied to the unit.

INPUT AND POWER/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

INPUT

When connecting the RTD or resistance device, be certain that the connections are clean and tight. Attach the device to terminals #8 and #9. Install a copper sense lead of the same gauge as those used to connect the device. Attach one end of the wire at the probe where the lead connected to terminal #8 is attached and the other end to terminal #7. This configuration will provide complete lead wire compensation. If a sense wire is not utilized, then Terminal #7 should be shorted to terminal #8. T o avoid errors due to lead wire resistance, field calibration should be performed with a series resistance equal to the total lead resistance in the system. Always refer to the probe manufacturer’s recommendations for mounting, temperature range, shielding, etc.

OUTPUT

Connect the output signal wires to the desired output terminals. For voltage output, use terminals #4 and #6; for current output, use terminals #1 and #3 observing proper polarity. Only one output may be used at a time. The unit is factory set for a 4 to 20 mA output. The voltage output will track the current output linearly within ±2.5% deviation of range endpoints.

To select 0 to 20 mA, output you must open the case and cut the wire jumper. The jumper is located to the left side of the board as shown in the drawing.

Remove this side of the unit case.
