Application
The active isolation amplifier of the series TVA is used, dependent on version, for galvanic isolation of electrical
standard signals 0..10V / 0..1V / -5..+5V / -0,5..+0,5V / 0..20mA / 4..20mA / -10..+10mA or a pulse frequency
modulated (PFM) current signal 90...520Hz or for convert it into another standard signal or to adjust the signals
in the zero value and/or end value resp. amplification.
A galvanic isolation is sometimes the only possibility at error generating ground loops, unwished signal
overlapping and potential problems.
Thus, a current flow between more signal current circuits that distort the signal is avoided.
The free configurable resp. fix signal conversion, dependent on version, allows the flexible adaption of different
systems among each other, e.g. for connection of a 2-wire-measurand transducer with a current signal 4...20mA
to the input 0...10V of a SPS control.
The adjustable version is suitable, if sections, e.g. 5...14mA of a standard signal 4...20mA at the input should
amplified to a complete standard signal e.g. 4...20mA or e.g. for zero value adjustment of a fix adjusted
measurand transducer e.g. because of a position dependent zero value shifting.
At the versions TVA – 200 – U0 / TVA – 220 – U0 in one device there can be two electrical signals simultaneous
transmitted separately or one electrical standard signal can be doubled into two separated electrical standard
signals by parallel or series connection.
The signal input for pulse frequency modulated (PFM) current signal 90...520 Hz in combination with
corresponding measurand transducer resp. signaling transmitter is especially suited for long transmission links
of several 1000 m. The special type of the signal makes in insensitive against the negative characteristics of
cables, that occurs only at higher length, like e.g. resistance and inductivity as well as error current through the
isolation.
Function
Measuring principle
Version TVA – 080 – U0 / TVA – 100 – U0 / TVA – 200 – U0 – adjustable version
The connected electrical standard signal 0..10V / 0..1V / -5..+5V / -0,5..+0,5V / 0..20mA / 4..20mA / -10..+10mA
is measured by the evaluation circuit, adjusted according to the front-sided trimmer and transmitted galvanically
isolated to the simultaneous output signals 0...10V and 0...20mA or 2...10V and 4...20mA according to the
settings of the internal configuration switches.
The respective current resp. voltage signals at the output can be used simultaneous. Therefore there are
simultaneous 2 output signals at the single channel versions TVA – 080 – U0 / TVA – 100 – U0 and
simultaneous 4 output signals at the double channel version TVA – 200 – U0 are available.
Examples:
 TVA – 100 – U0 Input signal: 0...10V is converted to output signal: 0...10V / 0...20mA
 TVA – 100 – U0 Input signal: 5...18mA is converted to output signal: 2...10V / 4...20mA
 TVA – 200 – U0 Input signal 1: 0...10V is converted to output signal 1: 0...10V / 0...20mA and
Input signal 2: 4...18mA is converted to output signal 2: 2...10V / 4...20mA
Version TVA – 120 – U0 / TVA – 180 – U0 / TVA – 220 – U0 – fix adjusted version
The connected electrical standard signal 0..10V / 0..20mA / 4..20mA or the pulse frequency modulated (PFM)
current signal 90...520Hz (not for the version TVA – 220 – U0) is transmitted by the evaluation circuit
galvanically isolated to the output signal 0...10V or 0...20mA or 4...20mA.
Examples:
 TVA – 120 – U0 Input signal: 0...10V is converted to output signal: 0...10V
 TVA – 120 – U0 Input signal: 90...520Hz is converted to output signal: 4...20mA
 TVA – 220 – U0 Input signal 1: 0...10V is converted to output signal 1: 0...10V and
Input signal 2: 4...20mA is converted to output signal 2: 0...20mA
Measurand transducer supply
Version TVA – 100 – U0 / TVA – 120 – U0 / TVA – 200 – U0 / TVA – 220 – U0
The integrated measurand transducer supply allows the direct connection and thus the supply of 2-wire and 3-
wire transmitter.
At the versions TVA – 200 – U0 / TVA – 220 – U0 the measurand transducer supply is two times available, one
for each channel separately.
Version TVA – 080 – U0 / TVA – 180 – U0

Electrical connection
The electrical connection of the device must be carried out according to the respective country specific
standards. Incorrect installation or adjustment could cause applicationally conditioned risks.
Power supply input, measuring input and signal output channels are safe galvanically isolated from each other.
This is also valid for both measuring input and signal output channels among each other.
Connection of the signaling transmitter resp. measuring transducer – measuring inputs
For the two, three or four-wire connection cable between the isolation amplifier and the signaling transmitter
resp. measuring transducer a standard installation cable or multi-wire cable for measuring intends with a
maximum of 25  per wire can be used.
The use of a shielded signal cable is recommended, if strong electromagnetic influences could happens, e.g.
due to machines or radio equipment. In that case the shielding of the cable should be connected to earth only at
the side of signaling transmitter resp. measuring transducer.
The signal cable should be installed separated from power leading wires.
The connected signaling transmitter resp. measuring transducer can be, dependent on version, powered by the
integrated measuring transducer supply. The supply is overload and short circuit protected.
The maximum values of the inputs at the isolation amplifier (current input maximum 400mA - 30V / voltage input
50V) must not be transgressed. The current input is equipped with a self resetting fuse.
At activation of the fuse the signal current wire must be disconnected for app. 5 seconds.

Electrical connection
Connection of the output
For the two-wire connection cable between the isolation amplifier and the connected devices a standard
installation cable or multi-wire cable for measuring intends with a maximum of 25  per wire can be used.
The use of a shielded signal cable is recommended, if strong electromagnetic influences could happens, e.g.
due to machines or radio equipment. In that case the shielding of the cable should be connected to earth only at
the side of the connected device. When connecting a SPS input stage there must be paid attention that mostly
the signal circuit must be connected to earth by connection the minus terminal with measuring earth.
The signal cable should be installed separated from power leading wires.
For inauguration it is suggested, to deactivate all connected control devices, to avoid unwanted control reactions.
Connection of the power supply voltage
Due to the integrated wide range power supply, for connection to supply voltages from 20...253V AC / DC, the
isolation amplifier is suitable for using in all common energy supply networks.
The connection is reverse polarity protected.
A fuse is integrated internally at the power supply circuit. Due to this the installation of a fine protection is not
necessary.
