GENERAL INFORMATION
The AUD converts a oating point signal into a
linear analog output. There are two inputs on the
AUD, one to increase the analog output and one to
decrease the analog output. The output of the AUD
is stable when the inputs are both o. A contact
closure or voltage signal to either input will cause
the output of the AUD to begin to ramp either up or
down depending on which input was activated.
The output stops ramping once the up or down
input is deactivated, and will remain at that value
until another up or down signal is received. If both
inputs are “ON,” the output will reset to the lowest
value of the selected range. The output and the AUD
is in the form of an analog, steady state voltage or
current. This signal can be scaled to t the needs of the
application by selecting one of several preset ranges
by dip switch or by adjusting the oset and the gain of
the output with two potentiometers.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Circuit board may be mounted in any position. If circuit board slides out of snap track, a non-conductive
“stop”may be required. Use only ngers to remove board from snap track. Slide out of snap track or push
against side of snap track and lift that side of the circuit board to remove. Do not ex board or use tools.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
• Remove power before wiring. Never connect or disconnect wiring with power applied.
• When using a shielded cable, ground the shield only at the controller end. Grounding both
ends can cause a ground loop.
• It is recommended you use an isolated UL-listed class 2 transformer when powering the unit
with 24 VAC. Failure to wire the devices with the correct polarity when sharing transformers may
result in damage to any device powered by the shared transformer.
• If the 24 VDC or 24VAC power is shared with devices that have coils such as relays, solenoids, or
other inductors, each coil must have an MOV, DC/AC Transorb, Transient Voltage Suppressor (ACI
Part: 142583), or diode placed across the coil or inductor. The cathode, or banded side of the DC
Transorb or diode, connects to the positive side of the power supply. Without these snubbers,
coils produce very large voltage spikes when de-energizing that can cause malfunction or
destruction of electronic circuits.
• All wiring must comply with all local and National Electric Codes.

Note: If the end device has an earth ground(SCR, VFD), the
ground/common must be isolated. This can be achieved by using an
isolated transformer. R16 resistor will be extremely hot to the touch if
there is a ground loop.
Note: If J1 jumpers are set to the NRM position, but the controller is
outputting a Triac signal for UP pulse, the UP LED will be turned on
and the DOWN LED will be slightly dim. This would be an indication
that the jumpers need to be set for TRIAC.

CALIBRATION AND CHECKOUT
SIGNAL INPUTS
See gures E1, E2, E3, and E4 for wiring details. The AUD accepts pulsed relay contact inputs, pulsed DC,
or pulsed AC voltage inputs (see E5 for Triac jumper position).
DIP SWITCH PROGRAMMING
1. Select the rate of change by setting the DIP switch as shown in Figure A. The rate of change is the time
it takes for the analog output to go from minimum to maximum. Rate of change selections are as follows:
Version 1: 5, 15, 30 and 90 seconds.
Version 2 & 3: 45, 60, 120, and 240 seconds (Version 3 diers in that it will reset to maximum on
start-up, or if both inputs pulse 3.5 seconds).
Version 4: 5 and 360 seconds. Changing the timing range with power on will result in reset to
minimum on Versions 1, 2 and 4.
Version 5: 60, 75, 120, and 150 seconds.
Verify that the chip numbers on your AUD corresponds to version ordered - See Table 1.
2. Select either current or voltage output with the two switches shown in Figure B (on p. 4). NEVER have
both switches on or o at the same time while powered, or chip failure may occur.
3. Select oset of 1 volt/4 mA or adjustable oset by switch 6 as shown in Figure C. With the adjustable
oset setting, you can adjust the “OFFSET” trim pot as desired. For oset higher than 5 volts contact
customer service.
4. Select the desired span by setting the three switches as shown in Figure D. If you chose an adjustable
span, you can adjust the“SPAN” trim pot, as necessary. After all connections have been made, activate the
power source. The “POWER” LED should light. The “UP” and “DOWN” LED’s will light when the AUD is
receiving input signals.
ADJUSTABLE OFFSET AND SPAN
If you do not wish to use any of the preset selections and
desire to set your own minimum and maximum output,
you must make potentiometer adjustments to the AUD. The OFFSET DIP switch
(shown in Figure C) should be set for adjustable oset and the SPAN DIP switches (shown in Figure D)
should be set for the span desired. The minimum output signal will be equal to the oset. The maximum
output signal will be equal to the oset plus the span. Examples:
If the Span is set at 4 VDC and the Oset is set at 0 VDC
Minimum Output will be 0 VDC, Maximum Output will be 4 VDC
Or… If the Span is set at 16 mA and the Oset is set at 4 mA
Minimum Output will be 4 mA, Maximum Output will be 20 mA
To Set an Adjustable Oset:
Turn power OFF, set DIP switch 6 for adjustable oset (see Figure 3), connect multimeter to the output and
turn the power on.
Place Man/Auto jumper in the Manual position.
Turn the Manual Override potentiometer counter clockwise until it stops. It is a 3/4 turn pot.
Oset Pot turns counter clockwise to Decrease and clockwise to Increase.
Turn the Oset potentiometer until the desired minimum output is read on meter.
To Set an Adjustable Span:
Turn the power OFF, set DIP switches 3,4 and 5 for one of the 3 desired adjustable ranges (see Figure 3).
Connect multimeter to the output and turn power ON.
Place (or leave) the Man/Auto jumper in the manual position.
Turn the override potentiometer clockwise until it stops.
Turn the Span potentiometer until the desired maximum output is read on meter (turn counter clockwise
to increase and clockwise to decrease).
Check full range and repeat if needed. (Note: If powered when making DIP switch settings, power must be
reset to allow DIP switch settings to be recognized.
When power is rst applied or restored after power interruption, the AUD automatically resets to the
minimum output signal as dened by the output DIP switch settings or the adjusted minimum.
Triac input – Follow wiring example in Figure 2 (p. 2).
Manual Override Potentiometer – If you want to manually increase and decrease the output within the
selected signal span (to test the hookup to the actuator), place Jumper J2 in MAN (manual) position, and
turn the manual potentiometer. Be sure to return Jumper J2 to AUTO position after testing.
TROUBLE SHOOTING AND TESTING
1. Apply 24 VAC or 24 VDC to “PWR” terminal, conrm power LED is on and measure voltage to conrm
proper voltage.
2. Check the DIP settings. Depressing the switch closest to the MAN/AUTO pot selects the ON position. You
must reset power if switch changes are made with power on or they will not be recognized.
3. Testing the output. Connect power. Place MAN/AUTO jumper to Manual.
Voltage Out:
Conrm DIP switch setting for “Voltage Out” (See (see Figure 3 (p. 4))) Should be 7 OFF & 8 ON. With
meter only connected to the SIG and PWR (-), turn the manual pot full left and then full right. The output
should vary from 0 to 100% of calibrated or jumper selected range.
If no change is seen, contact ACI Tech Support at [phone].
If yes, connect load/device and meter to SIG and PWR (-) terminals. Turn override pot and measure
voltage. Do the readings match the no load test?
If no, check load impedance mismatch or a possible ground loop problem and/or call ACI Tech Support
at [phone].
If yes, voltage output is functioning properly.
Current Out:
Conrm DIP Switch setting for “Current Out”(See (see Figure 3 (p. 4)). With meter only connected to the

SIG and PWR(-) turn the manual pot full left and then full right. The output should vary from 0 to 100%
of the calibrated or jumper selected range. If not, measure the voltages and turn the Manual override
pot clockwise. Is voltage present? If no, contact ACI Tech Support at [phone].
A voltage between 15-39 VDC indicates the AUD is attempting to generate the desired mA. Load or
meter may have an open, blown fuse or connected improperly. A 250 or 500 ohm resistor will also work
to test the output. Connect the resistor to the SIG and PWR(-) terminal. With 250 ohms on the output
the voltage from one side of the resistor to the other will be 1VDC @ 4mA and 5VDC @ 20mA. Using the
500 ohm will give 2 VDC @ 4mA and 10VDC @ 20mA. Does the unit function as stated above?
If no, contact ACI Tech Support at [phone].
If yes, current output is functioning properly.
4. Testing the input – To manually test the input.
Apply 24 VAC or 24 VDC to the PWR terminal. Connect your meter to the SIG and PWR(-) terminal. Set
meter to match output DIP switch settings. Place MAN/AUTO jumper to AUTO. Connect a jumper wire
from UP + to the PWR(+). Connect a jumper wire to the PWR(-) only. You are now ready to simulate an
input pulse signal.
For testing purposes, select the 15 second range (DIP switch 1 ON, DIP switch 2 OFF). Be sure to reset
power to allow the AUD to recognize new settings.
Take the free end of the jumper wire from “PWR”(-) and connect by holding wire to the “UP”(-) terminal.
Verify the pulse LED indication. Read output. Has the output changed? The output should be increasing
and stop when maximum span is reached.
Placing the wires on the DWN + and – terminals should decrease the output signal. If no, change the
TRC/NRM to the opposite setting and repeat test. Has the output changed?
If no, contact ACI Tech Support at [phone].
If yes, unit is functioning properly.

must reset power if switch changes are made with power on or they will not be recognized.
3. Testing the output. Connect power. Place MAN/AUTO jumper to Manual.
Voltage Out:
Conrm DIP switch setting for “Voltage Out” (See (see Figure 3 (p. 4))) Should be 7 OFF & 8 ON. With
meter only connected to the SIG and PWR (-), turn the manual pot full left and then full right. The output
should vary from 0 to 100% of calibrated or jumper selected range.
If no change is seen, contact ACI Tech Support at [phone].
If yes, connect load/device and meter to SIG and PWR (-) terminals. Turn override pot and measure
voltage. Do the readings match the no load test?
If no, check load impedance mismatch or a possible ground loop problem and/or call ACI Tech Support
at [phone].
If yes, voltage output is functioning properly.
Current Out:
Conrm DIP Switch setting for “Current Out”(See (see Figure 3 (p. 4)). With meter only connected to the
SIG and PWR(-) turn the manual pot full left and then full right. The output should vary from 0 to 100%
of the calibrated or jumper selected range. If not, measure the voltages and turn the Manual override
pot clockwise. Is voltage present? If no, contact ACI Tech Support at [phone].
A voltage between 15-39 VDC indicates the AUD is attempting to generate the desired mA. Load or
meter may have an open, blown fuse or connected improperly. A 250 or 500 ohm resistor will also work
to test the output. Connect the resistor to the SIG and PWR(-) terminal. With 250 ohms on the output
the voltage from one side of the resistor to the other will be 1VDC @ 4mA and 5VDC @ 20mA. Using the
500 ohm will give 2 VDC @ 4mA and 10VDC @ 20mA. Does the unit function as stated above?
If no, contact ACI Tech Support at [phone].
If yes, current output is functioning properly.
4. Testing the input – To manually test the input.
Apply 24 VAC or 24 VDC to the PWR terminal. Connect your meter to the SIG and PWR(-) terminal. Set
meter to match output DIP switch settings. Place MAN/AUTO jumper to AUTO. Connect a jumper wire
from UP + to the PWR(+). Connect a jumper wire to the PWR(-) only. You are now ready to simulate an
input pulse signal.
For testing purposes, select the 15 second range (DIP switch 1 ON, DIP switch 2 OFF). Be sure to reset
power to allow the AUD to recognize new settings.
Take the free end of the jumper wire from “PWR”(-) and connect by holding wire to the “UP”(-) terminal.
Verify the pulse LED indication. Read output. Has the output changed? The output should be increasing
and stop when maximum span is reached.
Placing the wires on the DWN + and – terminals should decrease the output signal. If no, change the
TRC/NRM to the opposite setting and repeat test. Has the output changed?
If no, contact ACI Tech Support at [phone].
If yes, unit is functioning properly.

CALIBRATION AND CHECKOUT
SIGNAL INPUTS
See gures E1, E2, E3, and E4 for wiring details. The AUD accepts pulsed relay contact inputs, pulsed DC,
or pulsed AC voltage inputs (see E5 for Triac jumper position).
DIP SWITCH PROGRAMMING
1. Select the rate of change by setting the DIP switch as shown in Figure A. The rate of change is the time
it takes for the analog output to go from minimum to maximum. Rate of change selections are as follows:
Version 1: 5, 15, 30 and 90 seconds.
Version 2 & 3: 45, 60, 120, and 240 seconds (Version 3 diers in that it will reset to maximum on
start-up, or if both inputs pulse 3.5 seconds).
Version 4: 5 and 360 seconds. Changing the timing range with power on will result in reset to
minimum on Versions 1, 2 and 4.
Version 5: 60, 75, 120, and 150 seconds.
Verify that the chip numbers on your AUD corresponds to version ordered - See Table 1.
2. Select either current or voltage output with the two switches shown in Figure B (on p. 4). NEVER have
both switches on or o at the same time while powered, or chip failure may occur.
3. Select oset of 1 volt/4 mA or adjustable oset by switch 6 as shown in Figure C. With the adjustable
oset setting, you can adjust the “OFFSET” trim pot as desired. For oset higher than 5 volts contact
customer service.
4. Select the desired span by setting the three switches as shown in Figure D. If you chose an adjustable
span, you can adjust the“SPAN” trim pot, as necessary. After all connections have been made, activate the
power source. The “POWER” LED should light. The “UP” and “DOWN” LED’s will light when the AUD is
receiving input signals.
ADJUSTABLE OFFSET AND SPAN
If you do not wish to use any of the preset selections and
desire to set your own minimum and maximum output,
you must make potentiometer adjustments to the AUD. The OFFSET DIP switch
(shown in Figure C) should be set for adjustable oset and the SPAN DIP switches (shown in Figure D)
should be set for the span desired. The minimum output signal will be equal to the oset. The maximum
output signal will be equal to the oset plus the span. Examples:
If the Span is set at 4 VDC and the Oset is set at 0 VDC
Minimum Output will be 0 VDC, Maximum Output will be 4 VDC
Or… If the Span is set at 16 mA and the Oset is set at 4 mA
Minimum Output will be 4 mA, Maximum Output will be 20 mA
To Set an Adjustable Oset:
Turn power OFF, set DIP switch 6 for adjustable oset (see Figure 3), connect multimeter to the output and
turn the power on.
Place Man/Auto jumper in the Manual position.
Turn the Manual Override potentiometer counter clockwise until it stops. It is a 3/4 turn pot.
Oset Pot turns counter clockwise to Decrease and clockwise to Increase.
Turn the Oset potentiometer until the desired minimum output is read on meter.
To Set an Adjustable Span:
Turn the power OFF, set DIP switches 3,4 and 5 for one of the 3 desired adjustable ranges (see Figure 3).
Connect multimeter to the output and turn power ON.
Place (or leave) the Man/Auto jumper in the manual position.
Turn the override potentiometer clockwise until it stops.
Turn the Span potentiometer until the desired maximum output is read on meter (turn counter clockwise
to increase and clockwise to decrease).
Check full range and repeat if needed. (Note: If powered when making DIP switch settings, power must be
reset to allow DIP switch settings to be recognized.
When power is rst applied or restored after power interruption, the AUD automatically resets to the
minimum output signal as dened by the output DIP switch settings or the adjusted minimum.
Triac input – Follow wiring example in Figure 2 (p. 2).
Manual Override Potentiometer – If you want to manually increase and decrease the output within the
selected signal span (to test the hookup to the actuator), place Jumper J2 in MAN (manual) position, and
turn the manual potentiometer. Be sure to return Jumper J2 to AUTO position after testing.
TROUBLE SHOOTING AND TESTING
1. Apply 24 VAC or 24 VDC to “PWR” terminal, conrm power LED is on and measure voltage to conrm
proper voltage.
2. Check the DIP settings. Depressing the switch closest to the MAN/AUTO pot selects the ON position. You
must reset power if switch changes are made with power on or they will not be recognized.
3. Testing the output. Connect power. Place MAN/AUTO jumper to Manual.
