Application
The active isolation amplifier of the series WTAU is used to linearize Pt100 temperature signals, to convert it
into one resp. two galvanic isolated electrical standard signals 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 the Pt100
temperature signal to different systems, e.g. to the standard signal input of a SPS control.
The adjustable version is suitable, if sections, e.g. +10°C...+40°C of a standard temperature signal 0°C...+50°C
should be amplified to a complete standard signal e.g. 4...20mA or for zero value adjustment e.g. because of
temperature losses caused by heat transfer.
At the versions WTAU – 200 – U0 / WTAU – 220 – U0 the Pt100 temperature signal is converted in parallel into
two electrical standard signal. Thus the Pt100 temperature signal can be doubled, to use it in two separated
evaluation circuits.
Function
Measuring principle
Version WTAU – 100 – U0 / WTAU – 200 – U0 – adjustable version
The connected resistance proportional electrical Pt100 voltage signal is measured by the evaluation circuit,
linearized, 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 WTAU – 100 – U0 and simultaneous 4 output
signals at the double channel version WTAU – 200 – U0 are available.
Examples:
 WTAU – 100 – U0 Input signal 0°C..+100°C is converted to output signal 0...10V / 0...20mA
 WTAU – 100 – U0 Input signal 0°C..+50°C is converted to output signal 2...10V / 4...20mA
 WTAU – 200 – U0 Input signal 0°C..+50°C is converted to output signal 1 0...10V / 0...20mA
output signal 2 2...10V / 4...20mA
Version WTAU – 120 – U0 / WTAU – 220 – U0 – fix adjusted version
The connected resistance proportional electrical Pt100 voltage signal is measured by the evaluation circuit,
linearized and transmitted galvanically isolated to the to the output signal 0...10V or 0...20mA or 4...20mA.
At the version WTAU – 220 – U0 the Pt100 input signal is transmitted simultaneously to the both output
channels.
Examples:
 WTAU – 120 – U0 Input signal 0°C..+100°C is converted to output signal 0...10V
 WTAU – 220 – U0 Input signal 0°C..+50°C is converted to output signal 1 0...10V
output signal 2 0...20mA

Safety notes
Each person that is engaged with inauguration and operation of this device, must have read and
understood this technical manual and especially the safety notes.
Installation, electrical connection, inauguration and operation of the device must be made by a qualified
employee according to the informations in this technical manual and the relevant standards and rules.
The device may only be used within the permitted operation limits that are listed in this technical manual.
Every use besides these limits as agreed can lead to serious dangers.
The device meets the legal requirements of all relevant EC directives.
Installation notes
The device is conceived for vertical installation on a standard fastening rail acc. to DIN EN 60715 TH 35-7,5
resp. TH 35-15.
DIN EN 60715 TH 35-7,5
DIN EN 60715 TH 35-15
The device must be installed protected against dust and humidity, e.g. in control stations or in a suitable
protection housing with a minimum protection classification IP55 acc. to DIN EN 60529.
The devices must be installed wheather and stroke protected, ideally at places without direct solar radiation.
This is especially important in warm climatic regions.
Maintenance
The device is free of maintenance.
Repair
A repair may only be carried out by the manufacturer. When sending back the device, add a note with the
description of the error and the application.

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 signal output channels among each other.
Connection of the Pt100 – measuring input
For the two or three-wire connection cable between the isolation amplifier and the Pt100 a standard installation
cable or multi-wire cable for measuring intends with a maximum of 25  per wire can be used.
Pt100 in 2- or 3-wire-measurement can be connected.
At a 2-wire-measurement the terminals 1 and 2 must be connected by a wire link.
A 4-wire-measurement of the Pt100 is not possible. When connecting a 4-wire Pt100 this must be proceeded in
3-wire-measurement, whereas the not used fourth wire may not be connected..
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 Pt100.
The signal cable should be installed separated from power leading wires.

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.

For adjustment of zero and end value per channel. Only available at versions WTAU – 100 / 200.
At the Pt100 – isolation amplifier WTAU – 200 – U0 both output signals (output 1 and output 2) are changed uniform by the
configuration switches and by the trimmer channel 1.
The output 2 can be additionally separately changed in the zero value by  3% and in the end value by  6% by the further
trimmer at the front side (channel 2).
For an accurate results the adjustment zero value – end value must be proceeded repeatedly with connected signal,
because zero and end value adjustment effects each other.
Configuration switches
The configuration of the input and output signal ranges is made per dip switches inside the housing.
Dangerous voltage
Ensure a safe switching off the supply voltage when opening the housing
For configuration release the upper housing part at top and bottom side behind the terminals by using a screwdriver and pull
it out of the housing. Drop-in pin's avoid a complete pulling out. Following the respective dip switches can be set according to
the desired functions to ON or OFF.
The switch S3 of switcher block S3 must be set to position ON. The position of all other not described switches are without
importance.
