4.5 System Design Specifications
Supply Voltage:
10 to 30 volts
Power Consumption:
•
Catalytic Combustible Sensors (requires DTR-10-0233 I/O Power Supply and 3-wire operation):
100 mA @ nominal 24 VDC
•
Toxic/Oxygen Sensors without Relays / Modbus Option (2-wire 4-20mA operation): 25 mA
@ nominal 24 VDC.
•
Relays / RS-485 Modbus Option Board (requires DTR-10-0233 I/O Power Supply and 3-wire
operation): 40 mA per relay (120 mA total with all 3 energized); RS-485 use adds 20mA
Memory:
Non-volatile E2 memory retains configuration values in the event of power outages.
Loop Resistance at nominal 24 VDC power:
650 ohms maximum in 2-wire mode
750 ohms maximum in 3-wire mode.
Relays (Optional):
Three configurable form C (SPDT) relays rated for 5 amp at 30 VDC or 250VAC RESISTIVE.
Relay 1 and Relay 2 level alarms are configurable for HIGH or LOW trip, for normally energized
(Failsafe) or normally de-energized and for latching or non-latching.
Relay 3 is always normally energized for failsafe operation so loss of power to the AMC-DTR
will be indicated as a “FAULT” condition. Relay 3 is always non-latching.
CAUTION:
Relays are rated for RESISTIVE loads. Inductive loads, such contactor coils or motors may
cause contact arcing, which emits RFI into the sensor signals. Use appropriate snubbers and
MOV’s across inductive loads and keep wiring away from signal wires.

Modbus
For other field wiring setups, contact the factory for further information. Note when using
modbus communication feature total wire loops should not exceed 1000ft/300M remote power
supplies may be necessary for some configurations to ensure a minimum of 10VDC.
