DESCRIPTION
The ITMA accepts a thermocouple or millivolt input and converts it into a
voltage or current output. The voltage or current output is linearly proportional
to the temperature or millivolt input. This output is ideal for interfacing to
indicators, chart recorders, controllers, or other instrumentation equipment.
The ITMA 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
thermocouple or millivolt 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 ITMA 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 thermocouples which
can provide additional noise reduction benefits.
The ITMA uses a ten 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
022 - 35 × 7.5 and 35 × 15, and (G) profile according to EN 50 035 - G 32.
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.
