Simultaneous Current and Voltage Output
 
The terminal block is removable and each of the terminals is labeled underneath the 
terminal block on the circuit board. Positive polarity is indicated by VOUT. The VDC 
terminal and a DC power supply must be used for simultaneous current and voltage 
output. The voltage output and the power supply must have separate wire leads that 
are  only  joined  at  terminal  2  of  the  transmitter. Additional  error  may  occur  for  the 
voltage output if a single wire is used or if the wires are joined at the power supply or 
receiver.
For  the  current  output,  the  maximum  allowable  loop  resistance  (wiring  +  receiver 
resistance) is dependent on the power supply. The maximum loop voltage drop must 
not reduce the transmitter voltage below 17 V. The maximum loop resistance (R
MAX) 
for a given power supply voltage (V
PS) can be calculated using the following equation:
The equation  uses  17.0  instead of  10.0  as  seen in  the  equation earlier  with  Figure 
1. This represents the minimum voltage supply which is higher on the simultaneous 
output conguration due to the requirements of the voltage outputs.
Shielded  4-wire  cable  is  recommended  for  control  loop  wiring.  Ground  the  shield 
at  the  power  supply  end  only.  Should  the  polarity  of  the  transmitter  or  receiver  be 
inadvertently reversed, the unit will not function properly, but no damage will be done 
to the transmitter.
For  voltage  outputs, the  minimum  receiver  load  is  1  kΩ. The  resistance  due to  the 
wire should be low compared to the receiver load resistance. While the voltage at the 
terminal block remains unchanged with a 10 mA current ow, resistive losses in the 
wiring do cause errors in the voltage delivered to the receiver. For a 1% accurate gage, 
the resistance of the wires should be less than 0.1% of the value of the receiver load 
resistance. This will keep the error caused by the current ow below 0.1%.
 
The output across VOUT and COM will be either 0-5 V or 0-10 V depending on the DIP 
switch setting. See DIP Switch Settings Section for more information.
Power Supply
Refer to the following tables for the required supply rating.
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
DIP switch settings are marked directly on the PCBA as shown in Figure 5. Switches 
are factory-set, based on the order conguration. You can also use a small screwdriver 
or pen to change the position of the switches. 
 
Key To DIP Switch Settings
Switches are numbered 1 to 8 beginning on the left.

boards, while similar, will vary from the below. 
NOTICE
There are no hazardous  voltages  if  supplied  power  is within the 
specied range. However, it is a good idea to shut control systems 
down while changing DIP switches to prevent erratic control system behavior.
