Description

The model DRI-DC and DRI-SP-AC are AC powered, DIN 
rail mount, DC input signal conditioners, with 1800V isolation 
between input, output and power. The field configurable input 
and output feature offers flexible, wide ranging capability for DC 
current and voltage signals. 

The DRI-DC is a single channel signal conditioner (1 input/1 
output) and the DRI-SP-AC is a multi-channel signal conditioner 
(1 input/2 outputs). Both models maintain the high 1800V 
isolation level from channel to channel, as well as input to 
output to power.

Touch Calibration Technology

Using a pushbutton instead of potentiometers, improvements 
in calibration resolution and reliability are realized due to the 
elimination of the potentiometers’ mechanical variability.  The 
thermal drift and mechanical variability of the potentiometers 
has been removed and replaced with a digitally stable circuit.  
Additionally, the inherent zero and span interactivity of analog 
amplifier circuitry is removed, providing 100% non-interactive 
adjustment.

The DRI-DC and DRI-SP-AC can be field configured for virtually 
any DC input to DC output within the limits specified. Calibration 
utilizes Touch Calibration technology where the user simply 
configures the input for the current or voltage range via switches, 
then follows the Calibration Flow Chart. The output is set by 
adjusting the input until the desired output is present and then 
pressing the CAL button to store the output level.

Diagnostic LEDS

The DRI-DC and DRI-SP-AC have three diagnostic LEDs.  
The green  (RUN) LED  is used for diagnostics to indicate that 
power is on.  It will flash quickly if the input signal is above the 
calibrated range or slowly if the input signal is below range.  
It is on continuously when the unit is functioning within the 
calibrated range.

The yellow (IN) LED is on while calibrating the input and the red

Configuration

 The DRI-DC and DRI-SP-AC can be configured for input ranges 
from 10mV to 100V or 1mA to 100mA, with >90% input offset 
or will adjust down to <10% of full scale input span (except on 
20mV/2mA range where maximum offset or gain adjustment 
is 50%). Unless a specific custom calibration is specified, the 
factory presets the Model DRI-DC and DRI-SP-AC as follows:
 
 

Input Range:   20mA (Current on)

  Input Configuration:   Unipolar 
 

Calibrated Input:  4-20mA

 

Operation:   Direct (Reverse off)

 

Calibrated Output:   4-20mA

For other I/O ranges, refer to the tables below. 

WARNING: Do not change switch settings with power applied. 

Severe damage will result! 

1. With power off, snap off the faceplate by lifting the right edge 
away from the heatsink. Slide the heatsink forward and off the 
module.

2. The single channel module has two eight position switch 
blocks, one for input and one for output. The dual output modules 
have a second board behind the heatsink. Gently lift this board 
away from the main board, rocking it back while lifting. The one 
input, two output module has one ten position switch block for 
input and channel 1 output, along with a two position switch for 
the second output. 

3. For single channel modules, choose the desired input, 
function and output range from Table 1, 2, and 3. For multi-
channel modules, use Table 4. Set the dip switches for the 
desired I/O.
