4.1 ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The analog output module consists of eight only 4-20 mA output channels. These
outputs are current sourced. Each channel can be independently scaled using the
code menu system on the PDC controller. These channels can also be assigned to an
individual sensor or to a group of sensors through zoning. If zoned, the output will
always be from the sensor with the highest output in the zoned group of sensors.
Once power has been applied to the analog output module circuit board, any enabled
outputs without connected loop wiring will illuminate the channel specific red LED.
This circuit utilizes eight red LEDs as “open loop” indicators. If a red LED open loop
indictor is illuminated, even though the wiring for that specific 4-20 mA output channel
has been terminated, it means there may still a problem with the wiring connection or
one of the output channels has been enabled but not utilized. Double check the wiring
or disable any unused output channels.
The analog output module is shipped pre-programmed and calibrated from the factory,
as long as the desired operational details have been supplied to us. Without opera-
tional details, we input a basic generic program providing one analog output per chan-
nel for systems with eight or less sensors. We require operational details for systems
with more than eight sensors.
The analog output module is programmed from the PDC controller programming push-
buttons. Reference the table of codes and their descriptions on the following pages.
This optional device will work only with PDC systems that have software version
“PDCa020.726” or later. Earlier version of the PDC software must be updated to utilize
this optional module. Contact the factory for information and costs associated with
updating your PDC controller.
IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN UPDATING THE MAIN SOFTWARE IN THE PDC MAIN
CIRCUIT BOARD, ALL PREVIOUS PROGRAMMING WILL BE LOST. TAKE WRIT-
TEN NOTE OF THE DETAILS OF THE PREVIOUS PROGRAMING. IT WILL BE
REQUIRED TO SET P THE SYSTEM AGAIN, AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE
NEW SOFTWARE.
5.0 PROGRAMING GENERAL
The PDC controller has an extensive menu system that allows the user maximum
flexibility, through programming, to achieve a wide range of system functions. Please
carefully read through the programming section of this manual before attempting to
make programming changes.
The following table indicates available programmable functions and the codes for the
analog output module only. Detailed descriptions for each function code can be found
on following pages.

3.1 WIRING ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE
The analog output module can be powered from three alternative sources.
a) Daisy-chain, 4-wire run from the system power.
b) Remote 24VAC power source
c) Remote 24VDC power source
Incoming Wiring
a) Daisy-chain, 4-wire run connection:
Place a jumper on “J3” and connect the power, 24V and common, to “24V” and
“COM” at either of the 4-position
terminal strips located along the bottom edge of the
circuit board. Either one can be utilized as the incoming terminal strip with the second
one assuming the position of outgoing terminal strip. These terminals are clearly
marked as “COM”, “B”, “A”, “24v’.
Connect the twisted-pair, communications cable to “B” and “A” of the same terminal.
MPORTANT: ENSURE THAT THE COMMUNICATION CABLES ARE CONNECTED
CORRECTLY. IF A
AND B ARE CONNECTED WRONG, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT
COMMUNICATE WITH THE ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE AND COMMUNICATION
WITH DEVICES FURTHER DOWN THE WIRE RUN MAY BE INTERRUPTED.
b) Remote 24VAC Power Source:
Ensure that no
jumper is installed at “J3”. Connect the two wires from the remote 24
VAC power source to the first two
terminal positions of the 3-position, terminal strip
located at the centre, bottom edge of the circuit board. These terminal positions are
clearly marked “24VAC”.
Connect the twisted-pair, communications cable to “B” and “A” of the same terminal.
MPORTANT: ENSURE THAT THE COMMUNICATION CABLES ARE CONNECTED
CORRECTLY. IF A
AND B ARE CONNECTED WRONG, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT
COMMUNICATE WITH THE ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE AND COMMUNICATION
WITH DEVICES FURTHER DOWN THE WIRE RUN MAY BE INTERRUPTED.
c) Remote 24VDC Power Source:
Ensure that no
jumper is installed at “J3. Connect the positive wire from the remote
power source to terminal position one
of the 3-position, terminal strip located at the
centre, bottom edge of the circuit board. Connect the negative wire from the remote
power source to terminal position three
of the 3-position, terminal strip located at the
centre, bottom edge of the circuit board. These terminal positions are clearly marked
“24VAC/DC”.
Connect the twisted-pair, communications cable to “B” and “A” of the same terminal.
MPORTANT: ENSURE THAT THE COMMUNICATION CABLES ARE CONNECTED
CORRECTLY. IF A
AND B ARE CONNECTED WRONG, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT
COMMUNICATE WITH THE ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE AND COMMUNICATION
WITH DEVICES FURTHER DOWN THE WIRE RUN MAY BE INTERRUPTED.
