Description
The DMD4008 accepts a resistance input from potentiometer,
slidewire, linear position, displacement, or rotational devices and
provides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output that is
linearly related to the potentiometer position.
The DMD4008 will accept any potentiometer with a value of
0-100 Ω through 0-1 MΩ without recalibration and without
affecting accuracy. A stable 1 VDC source excites the potenti-
ometer. The voltage division ratio is measured using the three
input connections. This measurement method allows the use of
almost any potentiometer without the need for calibration.
The DMD4008 output can be field-configured via external rotary
and slide switches. Offsets and/or input ranges other than 0 to
100% of the potentiometer range can also be selected. Zero and
span potentiometers are provided to fine-tune the output signal.
The full 3-way (input, output, power) isolation makes this module
useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejec-
tion or noise pickup reduction.
Sink/Source Output
Sinking/sourcing versatility allows the DMD4008 to produce
a powered or unpowered mA output allowing it to work with
unpowered or powered mA devices respectively.
The DMD4008 has a 20 VDC loop excitation supply available for
mA outputs. This power supply can be used to power a passive
mA device. If the mA device receiving the output signal already
provides loop power, the DMD4008 output can be wired as a
passive output.
LED Indicators
Two LEDs (green for input, red for output) vary in intensity
with changes in the process input and output signals. These
provide a quick visual picture of your process loop at all times
and can greatly aid in saving time during initial startup and/or
troubleshooting.
Output Test
An output test button provides a fixed output (independent of the
input) when held depressed. The test output level is potentiom-
eter adjustable from 0 to 100% of output span.
The output test button greatly aids in saving time during initial
startup and/or troubleshooting.

Summary of Contents for Omega DMD4008

  • Page 1 The DMD4008 has a 20 VDC loop excitation supply available for e-mail: info@omega.com mA outputs. This power supply can be used to power a passive mA device.
  • Page 2 For most applications 0-100% of the potentiometer range is 2. Set the input potentiometer to its minimum value to provide used. The DMD4008 can be set up to use part of the potenti- an input to the module equal to the minimum input required ometer range.
  • Page 3 DMD4008, DMD4008-DC Potentiometer to DC Isolated Conditioners DMD4008 Range Selection Table The module side label lists common ranges. Use the table below Switch B controls the percent of potentiometer range to use. For ranges that fall between the listed ranges use the next high- for a complete selection of I/O ranges for your application.
