GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Apollo Intelligent Serial Slave Display (IMA) accepts ASCII data from
either a terminal, host computer, or Red Lion Controls product with serial
communications, and displays the received data. The data may be numeric,
alphabetic and/or punctuation, the parameters of how the data is interpreted by
the IMA is covered in detail in the 20 mA current loop serial communications
section. Serial communication is accomplished via two 20 mA current loops.
The IMA provides two 20 mA current sources. The first source is dedicated to
the output loop (TBA #12) and can power up to seven units on its loop. The
second source (TBA #7) is a quasi current source (1KΩ resistor to +18 VDC)
which can power up to three units on its loop. Note: One source is required to
transmit and one source is required to receive. The peak and valley (max/min)
values can be recalled at the touch of a button. A full 6-digit, 7-segment display
accommodates virtually any process engineering unit. English-style display
prompts and front panel buttons aid the operator through set-up and operation.
A front panel lock-out menu protects set-up data from unauthorized personnel.
Programmable E1-CON can be utilized for alarm, display hold and reset
operations. All set-up data is stored in E
minimum of 10 years without power. All values are retained at power-down.
Optional dual relays with parallel solid state outputs are fully programmable
to operate in a wide variety of modes to suit many alarm applications.
The IMA has several built-in diagnostic functions to alert operators of most
any malfunction. Extensive testing of noise interference mechanisms and full
burn-in makes the IMA extremely reliable in industrial environments. The die-
cast front bezel meets NEMA 4/IP65 requirements for washdown applications
when properly installed. Plug-in style terminal blocks simplify installation and
wiring change-outs.

SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use this unit to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so, can be potentially harmful to persons
or equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.
CAUTION: Read complete
instructions prior to installation
and operation of the unit.

    INSTALLATIONS & CONNECTIONS INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT Before installing the IM into the panel, the user should first become familiar The bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap product. with the unit. It may also be desirable to program the unit for the application. Do NOT use solvents.
  • Page 4: Wiring Connections

    To reduce the chance of noise spikes entering the AC line and affecting the IMA, the AC power should be relatively “clean” and within the specified +/-10% variation limit. Drawing power from heavily loaded circuits or circuits which also power loads that cycle on and off, (contactors, relays, motors, machinery, etc.) should be avoided.
  • Page 5: Quick Programming

    PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS Programming of the IMA is divided into modular steps. Each module is a short sequence of data entries. The front panel buttons “UP” and “DOWN”, (shown as “arrows” on the front panel) are used to change the data and set-ups, while the “P”...

Although the IMA has been programmed at the factory, the set-ups will generally have to be changed.

  • Page 8 MODULE #5 - PROGRAM ALARM/SETPOINT If the alarm option is installed, this module is used to configure the operation of the alarms to a variety of combinations. The programmable options are HI/LO acting, auto/manual reset (latching), tracking, display alarms, alarm ALARM #1 HIGH OR LOW ACTING values and hysteresis (deadband) values.

Current loop connections are made so that the IMT is in transmit mode only and the IMA is in receive mode only.
