The Transmitter Supply Converter must only be operated by trained personnel in
accordance with this handbook.
The protection of operating personnel and of the system is only
accordance with their intended purpose. Any other type of operation than that described in this

The transmitter supply coverters are measuring units that
provide an output signal consisting of a unit current signal
(4 mA ... 20 mA). A transmitter power supply provides a
transmitter with power and processes the
current signal.
The transmitter supply conerter translates a fully
parameterizable partition of input signal into a
proportional output current (4ma...20mA)
This output signal will be transferred to indicators or to
analog inputs on the process control system/control
system, for example. Both relay outputs of the transmitter
supply converter can monitor two fully parameterizable
trip values of the input signal.
The removable terminals of the Bulletin 937 Converters simplif y the
connection and the switch cabinet assembly. They make it possible to
replace devices quickly and without error if a customer service becomes
necessary.
Terminals are equipped with screws, are self- opening , have a large
connection area for a wire cross-section up to 2.5 mm/14 AWG and
coded plugs, making it impossible to mix them up.
Connection terminals (Input) IS Side
The intrinsically safe field circuit is connected to the blue
terminals 1 and 3. These may be g uided into the potentially
explosive areas with connector cables in accordance with
DIN EN 60079-14. Terminal 2 is always left unconnected.
The non-intrinsically safe field circuit is connected to the black terminals 1
In normal operation, the current measured value is indicated in the selected unit.
If the Alarm freeze is triggered but the device continues operating normally, a corresponding
message appears in the second line of the display.
If a fault occurs, one of the following messages is displayed until the fault is rectified (when
parameterized):
• Err Mem for device fault,
• Err LB for lead breakage,
• Err SC for short circuit,
The relays de-energizes when a fault occurs.
The display of the device is updated at regular intervals. This can causes a short
flickering of the display. This flickering isn't a defect of the display.

FDT Interface
This manual describes Parameterization mode of the universal frequency converter using the
control panel. parameterization mode
for the universal frequency converter is more convenient with a PC using Field Device Tool (FDT)
software.
Some specialized functions can only be selected using the FDT , for instance, pulse suppression
as an alternative to the start-up override.
The FDT interface is the specification describing the standardized data exchange between devices and
control system or engineering or asset management tools. Examples include: PACTwareTM , FieldCare,
FactoryTalk AssetCentre, and Process Device Configuration. FDT frame software can be downloaded
from the web: www.pactware.com www.fdtgroup.org.

You can return to display mode from any point in the menu in parameterization mode by pressing
the ESC key (possibly multiple times). If you do not press any key for 10 m
parameterization mode, the device automatically switches back into display mode.
You can protect the current configuration from unauthorized changes by using a password (See

Units
The following illustration shows the units menu. Menu items on the lowest level are outlined in bold.
The Universal Transmitter Power Supply measures in mA. Using the parameters zero point and conversion
factor it converts the measured value into the selected units. These units are used for the display of the
measured values and for all corresponding settings in the parameterization mode.
The following diagram shows the input parameters menu. Items
The menu items Zero point and Conversion factor will not be shown if the unit mA is selected.
If you select On for LB,an input current <0.2 mA will be registered as a lead break.
If you select On for SC,an input current >0.22 mA will be registered as a short circuit.
•
•
If you wish to process the <0.2 mA input values as measured values, you must deselect the lead
breakage deterction (Off LB). If not, an error will be signalled within the measuring range.
Zero point and Conversion factor
The device measures in mA. If you have selected different units, the device calculates the measured value in the
selected units using the parameters Zero point and Conversion factor.
The parameters for you application must be determined according to the following formula:
Measured value in
the selected units
An arbitrary value between -15 mA and +15 mA can be set as the Zero point, and values between 0.100
and 5000 as the Conversion factor.
