Range Selection

It is generally easier to select ranges before installation. See the 
model/serial number label for module information, options, or if 
a custom range was specified.
Set input selector switch A to “I” for a current input or to “V” 
for a voltage input. 
Switch settings B and C determine the input range. 
Switch D determines the alarm configuration.

Electrical Connections

WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified electri-
cian or instrumentation engineer. See diagrams for terminal 
designations and wiring examples.
Avoid shock hazards! Turn power off to signal input, relay wiring, 
and module power before connecting or disconnecting wiring.

Module Power Terminals

Check white model/serial number label for module operating 
voltage to make sure it matches available power.
When using DC power, either polarity is acceptable, but for 
consistency with similar products, positive (+) can be wired to 
terminal 13 and negative (–) can be wired to terminal 16. 

Signal Input Terminals

Polarity must be observed for input wiring connections. If the input 
does not function, check switch settings and wiring polarity.
Voltage inputs are connected as shown in the table below. 
The input can be used with either sinking or sourcing milliamp 
devices. Only one device must provide power to the current loop.
For a transmitter with a current output, determine if it provides 
power to the current loop or if it must be powered by the DMD 
1080 module. Use a multi-meter to check for voltage at the 
transmitter’s output terminals. Typical voltage may be in the 
range of 9 to 24 VDC. In this case, wire the device to terminals 
9 and 11. 

Relay Output Terminals

See wiring diagrams for connections. The module does not 
provide power to the relay contacts. 
Inductive loads (motors, solenoids, contactors, etc.) will greatly 
shorten relay contact life unless an appropriate RC snubber is 
installed.
The DMD1080 operates two sets of relays in unison with a 
single setpoint. 
The dual DPST contact sets are in a Form A (NO) and a Form B 
(NC) configuration. 
They may be field wired for Form C operation as required.
