Overview
The passive signal isolator TRIL0
is a compact and reliable 2-wire
analog current-to-current transmitter,
providing optical isolation between
the input and the output current loops
of up to 3750 VAC, and allowing
direct 4...20 / 4...20 mA conversion.

Mounting
TRIL0 for DIN-rail mounting
is designed to be easily mounted
on every 35 mm rail conforming
to EN50022.
Wiring
♦Connect the input and
the output current loops
according to the left diagram.
♦In order to minimize
measuring errors, make sure
the connecting screws
are tightened enough.
Maximum line load
The maximum output load
at different output loop supply
voltages is given on the left chart.
Adjusting and Calibrating
Important note:
To protect the device
from damages
as a result of ESD,
always ground
yourself and the tools
and instruments
you are working with!

S
Default adjustment
The device is factory calibrated
and does not require initial user calibration.
Calibration kit
♦current source with an accuracy
of at least ± 0.02%;
♦milliammeter with an accuracy
of at least ± 0.02%;
♦24 VDC power supply.
Calibration
It is recommended that the calibration
be checked at least once a year as well as
after any malfunction and/or repair.
We recommend calibration
at COMECO
CALIBRATING LABORATORY.
Nevertheless, if you intend to do
calibrations on your own, you can do so
via the ZERO ('Z') and SPAN ('S')
adjustment potentiometers, accessible
through the device front panel,
by following the procedure below:
♦Connect TRIL0 to power supply,
input source, and milliammeter
as shown on the wiring diagram
(see 'Mounting and Wiring').
♦Apply an input signal of 12 mA
and leave the unit for 15 minutes,
if possible at the ambient temperature
it is intended to work at.
♦Apply an input current of 4 mA
and adjust the 'Z' potentiometer
to get Iout = 4.00 mA.
♦Apply an input current of 20 mA
and adjust the 'S' potentiometer
to get Iout = 20.00 mA.
♦Repeat the previous 2 steps
until readings converge.
♦Secure the potentiometers with lacquer.
