zOutputs are isolated from each other and from the
backplane
zOutputs are software configured and fully scalable
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The model GMOUT is an analog output module designed for
use with the Graphite products. The module provides four
isolated outputs that are independently programmable for output
ranges of 0-5V, 0-10 V, +/-10 V, 0-20 mA, or 4-20 mA. Internal
scaling is provided to accommodate virtually any application.
The modules connect and communicate via proprietary USB
connection to the various Graphite devices. The Graphite devices,
equipped with serial ports as well as an Ethernet port(s), allows
the system to share data with PCs, PLCs, and SCADA systems.
The maximum number of modules various for each Graphite
device, see specific models for details.
Once programmed, the module will continue to operate/
control independent of the Graphite device as long as power is
applied. Remove power from the host device before installing or
replacing any modules.
CONFIGURATION
The Graphite is configured with Windows®compatible Crimson®
software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which
provides a means of configuration and commissioning of new
systems, as well as routine module re-calibration.

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Although Red Lion Controls products are designed with a high
degree of immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), proper
installation and wiring methods must be followed to ensure
compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical noise,
source or coupling method into a unit may be different for various
installations. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are
very important and can mean the difference between a successful
or troublesome installation. Listed are some EMI guidelines for a
successful installation in an industrial environment.
1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is
properly connected to protective earth.
2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The
shield connection should be made as short as possible. The
connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the
application. Listed below are the recommended methods of
connecting the shield, in order of their effectiveness.
a. Connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one
end where the unit is mounted.
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable,
usually when the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.
3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or
raceway with AC power lines, conductors, feeding motors,
solenoids, SCR controls, and heaters, etc. The cables should
be run through metal conduit that is properly grounded. This
is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long
and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if
the installation is near a commercial radio transmitter. Also,
Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed
as far away as possible from contactors, control relays,
transformers, and other noisy components.
4. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than
short cable runs.
5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI
suppression devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for
signal and control cables is effective. The following EMI
suppression devices (or equivalent) are recommended:
Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (Red Lion #FCOR0000)
Line Filters for input power cables:
Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (Red Lion #LFIL0000)
6. To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to
minimize radiated and conducted noise (EMI), some type of
contact protection network is normally installed across the
load, the contacts or both. The most effective location is
across the load.
a. Using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or
metal oxide varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is very
effective at reducing EMI and increasing relay contact life.
b. If a DC inductive load (such as a DC relay coil) is controlled
by a transistor switch, care must be taken not to exceed the
breakdown voltage of the transistor when the load is
switched. One of the most effective ways is to place a
diode across the inductive load. Most Red Lion products
with solid state outputs have internal zener diode
protection. However external diode protection at the load is
always a good design practice to limit EMI. Although the
use of a snubber or varistor could be used.
Red Lion part numbers: Snubber: SNUB0000
Varistor: ILS11500 or ILS23000
7. Care should be taken when connecting input and output
devices to the instrument. When a separate input and output
common is provided, they should not be mixed. Therefore a
sensor common should NOT be connected to an output
common. This would cause EMI on the sensitive input
common, which could affect the instrument’s operation.

guidelines, Safety and CE issues as they relate to Red Lion
products.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION

modules order in Crimson. Torque screws to 6.0 pound-force inch

WIRING
WIRING CONNECTIONS
All conductors should meet voltage and current ratings
for each terminal. Also, cabling should conform to
appropriate standards of good installation, local codes and
regulations and be suitably rated for the temperatures of
the environment to which it is being installed. When wiring
the module, use the numbers on the label to identify the
position number with the proper function. Strip the wire,
leaving approximately 1/4" (6 mm) of bare wire exposed.
Insert the wire into the terminal, and tighten.

LEDs
STS - STATUS LED
The Status LED is a green LED that provides information
regarding the state of the module. This includes indication of the
various stages of the start-up routine (power-up), as well as any
errors that may occur.
Startup Routine
Off Module is currently running the boot loader and/or
being flash upgraded by Crimson.
Flashing Green Module switching to configuration.
Green Module performing normally.
Error States
Flashing Green Module is controlling properly, but has lost
communication with the Host.
ALM - ALARM LED
The Alarm LED indicates the presence of an input fault condition.
FIRMWARE UPGRADE
The module’s firmware is stored in flash memory so that
software/hardware conflicts are avoided, and so features can be
added in the future.
During a download, Crimson compares its own library of
firmware files with those stored in the module. If they do not
match, Crimson will download the necessary firmware.
CONFIGURATION
Programming is done via Crimson®software, a Windows®
compatible configuration interface. Please see the Crimson
manual for more information.
