The universal transmitter ALMEMO 8390-1 is a new member in our family of ® unique measuring devices ® - all equipped with Ahlborn GmbH’s patented ALMEMO connector system. The intelligent ALMEMO ® connector offers decisive advantages when con- necting sensors and peripherals because all parameters are stored in an EE- PROM on the connector itself;...

Universal transmitter 8390-1 SENSOR PROGRAMMING The measuring channels are automatically and completely programmed by the ® ALMEMO sensor connectors. Programming can, however, be modified or supplemented, as and when necessary, via the interface. Measuring ranges Appropriate measuring ranges are available for all sensors with a non-linear characteristic, e.g.

Universal transmitter 8390-1 Sensor locking All sensor data stored in the connector EEPROM can be protected by means of a graduated locking function against undesired access. MEASUREMENT For each transducer up to four measuring channels are available; i.e. it is also possible to evaluate double sensors, individually scaled sensors, and sensors with function channels.

Universal transmitter 8390-1 cycle are available. The measuring operation can be started and stopped via the interface. Date and time-of-day When the measuring instrument is switched on, the date and time-of-day are set to 01.01.00 00:00:00. For the purposes of logging a measuring operation these must be reset each time.
Universal transmitter 8390-1 2. PUTTING INTO SERVICE Connect transducer to socket M0 (1); (see Section 4). Ensure the power supply is connected via the mains adapter; (see Sections 3.1, 3.2). Connect analog output to socket A1 (6) using recording cable ZA 1601-RK. or option R2/3 to socket 2 pins 6 and 7 (see Manual, Section 5.1.1) Programming or data output via interface Connect computer via interface cable to socket A1 (6) (see Man., Section 5.2).
Universal transmitter 8390-1 3. POWER SUPPLY As power supply there are the following possibilities : • mains adapter 12 V / 200 mA ZB 1012-NA1 • DC voltage supply, 7 to 13 V DC • DC voltage supply, 9 to 30 V DC, electrically isolated OA 8390-U 3.1 Power supply via the mains adapter On the rear of the device there is the socket (5) for connecting an external power sup-...
Universal transmitter 8390-1 4. CONNECTING THE TRANSDUCERS ® ® Virtually any ALMEMO sensor can be connected to the ALMEMO input socket M0 ® (1). To connect your own existing sensors you simply need the appropriate ALMEMO connector. 4.1 Transducers ® The ALMEMO Manual includes detailed descriptions of the comprehensive ALME- ®...

Universal transmitter 8390-1 sensors channel 4 channel 3 channel 2 channel 1 8390-1 Sensors combined within one connector and sensors with their own power supply are electrically interconnected and must therefore be opera- ted in isolation. The voltage applied to the measuring inputs themselves must not exceed ±5 volts (between B, C, D, A and - ).
Universal transmitter 8390-1 5. SENSOR PROGRAMMING ® ® Since on ALMEMO devices all sensor programming is stored in the ALMEMO con- nector, ® you can connect any ALMEMO sensor without needing to reprogram. To connect cer- ® tain sensors you can even order ALMEMO connectors that have already been appro- priately programmed.

Universal transmitter 8390-1 In network operation consecutive numbers between 01 and 99 should be used; this ensures that device 00 is not addressed unnecessarily in the event of in- terruption to the power supply. Before each attempt to communicate with a device the desired address must be output (see Manual, Section 6.2.1).
Universal transmitter 8390-1 8. TROUBLE-SHOOTING ALMEMO 8390-1 transmitter can be configured and programmed in many ® versatile ways. It is suitable for connecting a wide variety of very different sensors, additional measuring instruments, and peripheral equipment. Given these numerous possibilities the device may in certain circumstances not be- have quite as expected.
