Description

3-way electrical isolation
TRMS measurement
Adjustable voltage ranges
ZERO/SPAN adjustment 20%
MCR voltage transducers measure DC voltages in
several signal ranges 024 V DC to 0550 V DC
and convert them into standardized analog signals. DC
voltages can be can be processed with both positive
and negative polarity.
The input voltage ranges of input terminals

1

7


can be adjusted by 20% using an adjustment
potentiometer.
Upon delivery, the voltage transducer is set to
024 V input and 010 V output and is ready for
operation. If you set the device to other input/output
values you must carry out a ZERO/SPAN adjustment
using the potentiometer on the front plate.

2. Method of Operation

The input circuit divides the DC voltage at terminals

1

7

. The resultant signal is transmitted electrically
isolated to the output circuit and is available as a
standardized analog signal at the output.

3. Area of Application

When using the voltage transducer, ensure that the
potential difference between terminal

1

7

and
ground potential PE, and terminal

8

and ground
potential PE does not exceed U = 660 V (prerequisite
for ungrounded circuits).
In DC voltage networks, this potential difference
should not exceed U = 100V (prerequisite for
grounded circuits).
If all of these conditions are met,

safe isolation

is
provided between the input, output, and supply.

Caution: Never carry out work when the
power is turned on, this is highly
dangerous.
If the voltage signal exceeds the voltage
range specied at the input signal
terminal by more than 15% (with
0...660 V by more than 5%), the input
circuit may be damaged.
Every time the input or output range is modied, a
ZERO/SPAN adjustment must be carried out.

6. ZERO/SPAN Adjustment

Upon delivery, the module is set to 0...24 V input
and 010 V output.
Two potentiometers are available on the front side of
the module for adjustment (Fig. 08):

ZERO:

Zero point adjustment

SPAN:

Final value adjustment

d) Zero point adjustment

Connect a calibration source to the input terminals
(U

(1-7)

and GND1) and specify a voltage of 0 mV.
Set the output signal value using the

ZERO


potentiometer.
Voltage output (010 V): U

OUT

= 0 V
Current output (020 mA): I

OUT

= 0 mA

b) Final value adjustment

Use the calibration source to specify the maximum
voltage used in the framework of the input voltage
range (table 1).
Set the output signal value (U

OUT

= 10 V and I

OUT

=
20 mA) using the

SPAN

potentiometer.
Allow the module to warm up for 4
minutes before starting the adjustment
