SPECIFICATIONS 

 

Model Number 

 

uBSP-P-1:

 uB Module Signal 

Splitter w/dual isolated 
current/voltage outputs, plus an 
AUX voltage output. 

 

This carrier is DIN-Rail mounted and allows one plug-in microBlox® module to 
drive two separately isolated voltage and/or current outputs. 

 

The model “uB” prefix denotes 

this as a member of the popular Acromag 

microBlox® 

family, while “

SP

” denotes 

the SPlit output function, its 

-P

” 

suffix 

denotes a Panel type carrier, and the trailing 

-1

” 

suffix denotes a single 

microBlox® module channel.  This carrier is DC-powered and includes CE and 
UL/cUL Class I, Division 2 Approvals. 

 
This carrier/splitter is normally mounted on standard 35mm 

“T” Type DIN 

rail.  

The reconfiguration of splitter I/O for a module plugged into this carrier can be 
done using a wired USB connection to a Windows-based computer or laptop 
running USB reconfiguration software for the input module, or may optionally 
use a USB-OTG cable connection to an Android smartphone or tablet running our 
free Agility App to set up an input module plugged into the carrier channel. 
 

Analog (Field) Input 

The Splitter input connects to TB1 terminals of this carrier.  Input connections use 
the same convention as modules mounted on uB back-panels and alarm carriers 
(refer to your plug-in module instructions for wiring). 

 

 

Accuracy:

  Better than 

0.05% of span typical relative to the installed module 

plus an additional 

0.05% of span relative to its operation on this carrier, for a 

net combined accuracy of ±0.1% of span.  This includes the effects of 
repeatability, terminal point conformity, and linearization, but does not include 
sensor error. 

 
Input (field) specifications are specific the microBlox® input module plugged into 
this carrier.  Refer to your module

’s

 instructions for detailed field connections.  

The following uB input model types are compatible with this alarm carrier (the 
uB45 frequency model is not compatible with this carrier for splitter 
functionality): 
 

 

The input to this carrier belongs to 
the specific uB input module 
plugged into it.  Refer to your 

module’s instructions fo

r detailed 

input and connection 
specifications.

 

Table 1:  uB Plug-In Module Types That May Utilize this Carrier 

uB Model 

Nominal Module Input  

uB31/uB41 

±1V to ±60V 

uB30/uB40 

±10mV to ±100mV 

uB32/uB42 

4-20mA/0-11.17mA DC  

uB34/uB35 

2/3/4-Wire Pt RTD 

uB37/uB47 

J/K/T/R/S Thermocouple 

 

 

The uB module must be configured and set up for use on this carrier using either 
a wired USB to Windows PC interface, or a USB-OTG connection to an Android 
smartphone or tablet running Agility software. 

 
Module field input, carrier power, and each isolated output must be wired and 
configured for its intended input/output type (see Electrical Connections section 
for details).  

 

I/O Cable Length:  

For rated performance, I/O port interface cables should not 

exceed 30m in length.
