MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL EQUIPMENT RATINGS For complete specifications, please refer to the enclosed Specification Sheet. This equipment operates optimally at +32 to +120°F (0 to +50°C), in an environment having <85% relative humidity. These models require 100 to 240 VAC / 47 to 63 Hz to operate. In turn, they supply 24 VDC 2 to 20 mA, excitation to connected ICP®...
MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 1-3. Block Diagram Figure 1 Typical Block Diagram 1-4. Installation These signal conditioner models comes in a standard 19-inch rack mount enclosure with a 1U (1.75”) height. The enclosure should be located in such a way as to allow convenient access to the power outlet for disconnect purposes. Since these models have low power consumption, they can be located in confined environments.

MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 2-3. Input Fault Detection These models monitor two input fault conditions; “short” and “open,” which indicate problems with sensor input and is displayed through the front panel LEDs. Either case implies that the sensor is NOT functioning properly. An input is shorted when it has a ground path for the sensor excitation and open when the sensor fails to draw the excitation.
MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 2-5.1. Programmable Gain Adjustable incremental gain (from 0.1 to 200) is standard in these models. The steps in the incremental gain are 0.1. This is particularly useful in the standardization of groups of sensors. Consider the following example, wherein the user desires to normalize sensitivities to 1 V/unit for each channel.
MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 2-7.1. Autoscaling To avoid overload, these signal conditioners feature autoscaling for gain adjustment. It first sets maximum gain on all channels, then decreases the gain setting of any channel on which an overload has occurred. The gain autoscale continues until there is no overload with respect to the preset overload threshold level (standard ±10 volts) and sensed signal of the channel.
MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 2-9. Non-Volatile Memory This feature provides a mechanism to save and restore a programmed configuration. The programmable settings are saved when the unit receives a SAVS command and restored when the unit powers up. The unit’s non-volatile memory may be reset to the factory default settings by using the RSET Command.
MODELS 483C30, 483C50, 482M179 AND 483M217 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 2-11.2 Input Filtering The Model 482C can also be ordered with low pass or high pass Input Filters installed. Input filters are located at the front end of the signal path, before any gain has been applied. This location may be advantageous for applications where gain is used and there is significant signal content outside the passband which could overload the signal conditioner.

Introduction Individual commands are subject to feature availability on the particular unit. The Ethernet Interface enables these models to be fully controlled by a computer or handheld controller. With this interface, the unit is able to become part of a fully automated system.
