Introduction This manual covers the installation and operation of the RM3-AV AC volts true RMS transmitter . The RM3 accepts inputs in the ranges 1.5V, 15V, 150V or 250V RMS (link selectable) and produces a loop powered 4-20mA output which is zero and span adjustable. For voltages above 250V RMS an external voltage transformer can be used to lower the input voltage to a suitable range.

Input range links To gain access to the input range link settings remove the four front bezel screws and the single screw which passes through the side of the instrument then slide out the bezel and circuit boards. If more than one board is fitted they are joined via a single multi way connector and can be pulled apart.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 until the output at both 4 and 20mA are correct to the required tolerance. Note: The RM3-AV is able to be spanned over a part of its input range if required. A table giving span range for each input is given below.
Specifications TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Input: Link selectable 0-1.5, 0-15, 0-150 or 0-250VAC with DC link to allow DC component of the waveform to be taken into account if required. Output: 4-20mA (true RMS measurement) Supply: Loop powered. Loop supply voltage required 9 to 34VDC Accuracy: 0.5% of full scale (pure sinewave input) Linearity:...
