Simultaneous Current and Voltage Output Operation

The terminal block is removable, and each of the terminals are labeled underneath the 

terminal block on the circuit board. The voltage output and the power supply must have 

separate wire leads that are only joined at terminal 2 of the transmitter, as shown in 

Figure 3. Additional error may occur for the voltage output if a single wire is used or if 

the wires are joined at the power supply or receiver. The connections to the transmitter 

are made to terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4 (PWR, GND, IOUT, and VOUT respectively) on 

the terminal block as shown in Figure 4, which reflects both the 4-20 mA and 0-5/10 

VDC outputs in the same circuit. Details of each output are detailed in their electrical 

connection sections. 

ANALOG DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

The analog output DIP switches (SW1) are located above the terminal blocks on the 

left are as shown in Figure 4. A small screw driver or pen can be used to change the 

position of the switches as required. 

Factory Default Settings (DIP SW1 – All Switches ON)

Range = Highest Range Setting (400 FPM)

Units = Imperial (FPM)

Voltage Output Range = 0-10 VDC

Direct / Reverse Output Action = Direct

Setting the Air Velocity Range

The range of the instrument is selected by using DIP switches 1 and 2 on SW1. Table 

1 shows the maximum full scale value for the selected range and unit. Refer to Setting 

the Engineering Units section for information on setting the unit.

Setting the Engineering Units

The  Series AVLV  can  be  configured  to  indicate  velocity  in  imperial  (FPM,  CFM)  or 

metric (m/s, m

3

/h) units using DIP switches 4 and 5 on SW1, and Table 2 shows the 

values. The units will be displayed on the optional LCD display if connected.

The  default  operating  mode  is  velocity,  but  changes  can  be  made,  such  as  flow 

mode, via the menu system while an optional display or remote display accessory is 

connected. Please refer to Appendix VI for a full menu flow chart.

Setting the Output Voltage Range

Voltage Output can be either 0-5 VDC or 0-10 VDC depending on the position of DIP 

Switch 6 ON SW1. 

•  When the switch is in the ON position, the output will be 0-10 VDC.

•  When the switch is in the OFF position, the output will be 0-5 VDC.

Setting the Input / Output Action

The output will either follow the process directly (DIRECT) or inverted (REVERSED) 

based on the position of DIP Switch 7 on SW1.

•  When the switch is in the ON position, the output directly follows the input (i.e. output 

  increases as the input increases).

•  When the switch is in the OFF position, the output acts in reverse of the input (i.e. 

  output decreases as the input increases).
