DESCRIPTION
ThefieldconfigurableDRG-SC-ACis
a DIN rail mount, AC input signal
conditioner with 1800VDC isolation
betweeninput,outputandpower.The
field configurable input and output
offersflexible,wideranging capability
for scaling, converting or buffering
AC inputs ranging from 5mA to
100mAACor50mVto200VAC. The
DCoutputoftheDRG-SC-ACispro-
portional to the average of the of the
fully-rectified AC input signal, and is
calibratedforsinewavesbetween40-
400Hz.
Forcurrentinputsabove100mAAC,it
is recommended that an input shunt
resistorbeusedandtheDRG-SC-AC
be configured for the proper input
range. Forexample,a5AACcurrent
transformer output can use a 0.1Ω,
5Wshuntresistorandsettheinputof
the DRG-SC-AC for 0-500mVAC.
APPLICATION
TheDRG-SC-ACisusefulinapplica-
tionsrequiringanisolated,conditioned
DCoutputfromanACsignal. Typical
applicationsincludeenergymanage-
ment, load shedding, motor current/
load monitoring, locked rotor detec-
tion, isolation and data acquisition.
The output of the DRG-SC-AC can
driveadigitalmeterfordirect display
orcaninterfacewithalarmingorcon-
troldevicesincludingPLCsandcom-
puters.
DIAGNOSTICLED
The DRG-SC-AC is equipped with a
dualfunctionLEDsignalmonitor. The
green, front mounted LED indicates
bothDCpowerandinputsignalstatus.
Active DC power is indicated by an
illuminatedLED. If the inputsignalis
morethan110%ofthefull-scalerange,
theLEDwillquicklyflashat8Hz. Ifthis
continues to occur, you may wish to
change your full-scale input range
setting.
Note1: All DRG-Series modues are designed and tested to operate in ambient temperatures from 0
to 55
°
C, when
mounted on a horizontal DIN rail. When five or more modules are mounted on a vertical rail, circulating air or model
DRG-HS01 Heat Sink is recommended.

range with a zero offset as large as
50% of the full scale range (e.g. 100
to 200VAC range).
Unlessotherwisespecified,the
factory presets the Model
DRG-SC-ACasfollows:
InputRange: 0-500mVAC
Output: 4-20mA
The DC power input accepts any DC
sourcebetween9and30V,typicallya
12V or 24VDC source is used
Refer to Tables 1 through 3 for the
proper switch settings. With power
disconnected, use the switches on

switches on SW3, select the desired
type of output.
