3. The Eco Line Signal Converter provides a way of doing this without the need for you to have an expensive Process Calibrator to simulate the required input voltage All you will need is a basic accurate multi meter and you can use the Eco Line Signal Converter itself to generate the required input signal range or you can use a process signal calibrator if you have one Please note that the product version you receive may not exactly match this picture as we plan to add a few more features early in 2013 These are Alarm and Input Status LED operation and serial communications When you change the input or output ranges you must recalibrate the input and output as exact analogue values are slightly different internally for each range The DIP switches Push Button Link and setup LEDs are accessed by removing the covering stickers Call 011 792 1239 support danntech weeueg EMS Byuog nano g Basic gt Input ranges from 50 mV to 100 V Input ranges from 50 mV to 100 V aie 1 mA up to 10 ADC 1 mAup to 10ADC E cero amp Span Normal gt Output ranges from 0 100mV to from 0 100mV to ON Cero S Wide __ 10 V 0 mA to 22 mA ae Output 10 V 0 mA to 22 mA gt DIP Switch Peel off sticker See Filename Filename Eco Line Signal Converters User Manual docx 26 October 2014 Version 1 16 danntech PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION Page 3 of 22 How it Works A microcontroller forms the central part of the signal
