Specifications 
Controller Output 
Types 
Electromechanical Relays (One or Two) 
SPDT contacts. Both Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts are brought out to the 
rear terminals. Internally socketed. 
Resistive Load: 5 amps @ 120 Vac or 240 Vac or 30 Vdc 
Inductive Load (cos
ϕ
 = 0.4): 3 amps @ 130 Vac or 250 Vac 
Inductive Load (L/R = 7 msec): 3.5 amps @ 30 Vdc 
Motor: 1/6 H.P. 
Dual Electromechanical Relays 
Two SPST relays. One Normally Closed contact for each relay is brought out to the rear 
terminals. This option takes the place of one of the above electromechanical relays, and is 
especially useful for Time Duplex or Three Position Step Control or Position Proportional 
Control applications. Instruments with this option can have a total of 4 relays plus one 
current output.  
Internally socketed 
Resistive Load: 2 amps @ 120 Vac, 240 Vac or 30 Vdc 
Inductive Load (cos
ϕ
 = 0.4): 1 amp @ 130 Vac or 250 Vac 
Inductive Load (L/R = 7 msec): 1 amp @ 30 Vdc 
Solid State Relays (One or Two) 
Zero-crossing type SPST solid state contacts consisting of a triac N.O. output. Internally 
socketed. 
Resistive Load: 1.0 amp @ 25°C and 120 or 240 Vac, 0.5 amp @ 55°C and 120 or 240 Vac 
Inductive Load: 50 VA @ 120 Vac or 240 Vac 
Minimum Load: 20 milliamps 
Open Collector Outputs (One or Two) 
Socketed assembly replacing a relay. Opto-isolated from all other circuits except current 
output and not from each other. Internally powered @ 30 Vdc. 
Note:  Applying an external power supply to this output will damage the instrument. 
Maximum Sink Current: 20 mA 
Short-circuit current limit: 100 mA 
Current Outputs (One or Two) 
These outputs provide a 21 mA dc maximum into a negative or positive grounded load or into 
a non-grounded load. Current outputs are isolated from each other, line power, earth ground 
and all inputs. Outputs can be easily configured via the keyboard for either direct or reverse 
action and for either 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA without field calibration. 
Both current outputs can be used in an Auxiliary Output mode. This Auxiliary Output can be 
configured to represent Input, PV, Setpoint, Deviation, or Control output. The range of an 
Auxiliary Output can be scaled per the range of the selected variable and can be set 
anywhere between 0 to 21 mA. The Second Current Output is mutually exclusive with the 
second Digital Input. 
Resolution: 14 bits over 0 to 21 mA 
Accuracy: 0.05% of full scale  
Temperature Stability: 0.01% F.S./°C 
Load Resistance: 0 to 1000 ohms 
Alarm Outputs 
(Optional) 
One SPDT Electromechanical relay. A second alarm is available if the second control relay 
is not used for control purposes or when the Dual Relay Option is used. 
Up to four setpoints are independently set as high or low alarm, two for each relay. Setpoint 
can be on any Input, Process Variable, Deviation, Manual Mode, Failsafe, PV Rate, RSP 
Mode, Communication Shed, or Output. A single adjustable hysteresis of 0.0 to 100.0% is 
provided. The alarm can also be set as an ON or OFF event at the beginning of a Setpoint 
ramp/soak segment. 
Alarm Relay Contacts Rating: Resistive Load: 5 amps at 120 Vac or 240 Vac or 30 Vdc 
Isolation (Functional) 
AC Power: Electrically isolated from all other inputs and outputs and earth ground to 
withstand a HIPOT potential of 1900 Vdc for 2 seconds per Annex K of EN61010-1. 
Analog Inputs and Outputs: Are isolated from each other and all other circuits at 850 Vdc for 
2 seconds. 
Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs: Electrically isolated from all other circuits to withstand a 
HIPOT potential of 850 Vdc for 2 seconds per Annex K of EN61010-1.
