1Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The signal conditioner incorporates two bright easy to read LCD Displays
which indicate Process Value (PV) and user selected parameter. It is powered by an 11-26 or
90-250 VDC /VAC supply. It is fully programmable for Linear Voltage, Linear Current, PT100
and thermocouple types J, K, T, E, B, R, S, N, L, U, P, C, and D input. The input signal is
digitized by using an 18-bit A to D converter. Its fast-sampling rate allows the signal conditioner
to retransmit the signal faster. It can do a maximum of 3 retransmission with one input.
1.2 Features
The new generation of signal conditioner has a lot of unique features.
The unique features are listed below.
Optional LCD Display
High Accuracy 18 Bit A-D Conversion
Up to 3 retransmission outputs with 15 Bit resolution
Fastest Sampling Rate of 200 msec
Universal Input
RS-485 Communication
Event Input
Lockout Protection
Bidirectional Menu Navigation
SQRT Function for PV
LCD Display
This signal conditioner will be equipped with high brightness LCD Display.
Digital Communication
RS-485 Digital communication is available as an additional option. These
options allow the units to be integrated with supervisory control systems and software.
A Micro USB programming port is available for automatic configuration,
calibration and testing without the need of access the keys on display board.
High Accuracy
This signal conditioner is manufactured using an innovative technology which
contains an 18-bit A to D converter for high-resolution measurement (true 0.1°F resolution for
thermocouple and PT100 sensors) and a 15-bit D to A converter for a linear current or voltage
control output. The innovative technology provides improved operating performance, enhanced
reliability and higher density with low cost.
Fast Sampling Rate
The sampling rate of the input A to D converter reaches 200 msec. This fast-
sampling rate allows the signal conditioner to retransmit faster.
Digital Communication
The controllers can be equipped with an optional RS-485 interface to provide
digital communication. By using twisted pair wires, up to 247 units can be connected together
via an RS-485 interface to a host computer.

RSC_User_Manual_01C12_01-20-21 Page 7of 45
Programming Port
A Micro USB programming port is available for automatic configuration,
calibration and firmware upgrades without the need to access the keys on the front panel.
1-1.Programming Port
Lockout Protection
According to user security requirements, one of four lockout levels (NONE,
ALL, USER, SET) can be selected to prevent certain settings from being changed.
Digital Filter
A first-order low-pass filter with a programmable time constant is used to
improve the stability of the process value (PV). This is particularly useful in certain applications
where the process value is too unstable to be read.
Event Input
Event Input is available as an option to change certain function.
Analog Retransmission
This signal conditioner can do a maximum of 3 Analog retransmission
with one input.
Bidirectional Menu Navigation
This controller has bidirectional menu navigation. This will allow the user to
access previous menu settings easily by using keys.
SQRT Function
The signal conditioner is having PV SQRT function
