SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the 

manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to 
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If 
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection 
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

SPECIFICATIONS

1. 

POWER

: 12 to 42 VDC *(Loop powered). The power supply must have a 

30 mA min. capacity.
[* Min. voltage must be increased to include the drop across any current 

display indicator]

2. 

INPUT

: RTD 2, 3, or 4 wire, 100 ohm platinum, alpha=0.00385 (DIN 

43760), alpha=0.00392, or resistance [selectable via DIP switch]

Excitation

: 0.170 mA nominal

Lead resistance

: Less than 0.5°C with 15 ohms max. per lead

Note: There is no lead compensation for 2 wire input. Field calibration 

should be accomplished with equivalent series resistance.

3. 

OUTPUT

: 4 to 20 mA Linear output with Temperature or resistance input.

Ripple

: Less than 15 mV peak-to-peak max., across 250

 load resistor (up 

to 120 Hz frequencies).

4. 

RANGE & ACCURACY

: (12 Bit resolution)

Accuracy

: ± ( 0.075% Range + 0.1°C [Conformity]) at 23°C after 20 min. 

warm-up, conforming to ITS-90.

Note: RTD conformity does not apply to resistance input.
Relative Humidity

: Less than 85% RH (non-condensing)

Span

: The input span can be set to a min. of 1/8 of the full scale range, 

anywhere within that range.

DESCRIPTION

The IRMA accepts a 2, 3, or 4 wire RTD or resistance input and converts it 

into a 4 to 20 mA current output. The 4 to 20 mA output is linearly proportional 
to the temperature or the resistance input. This output is ideal for interfacing to 
indicators, chart recorders, controllers, or other instrumentation equipment. 

The IRMA is loop-powered which means that the same two wires are 

carrying both the power and the output signal. The unit controls the output 
current draw from 4 to 20 mA in direct proportion to the input while consuming 
less than 4 mA for operation. The conversion to a current output signal makes 
the IRMA less susceptible to noise interference and allows accurate transmission 
over long distances. Two-Way isolation allows the use of grounded RTD’s 
which can provide additional noise reduction benefits.

The IRMA uses an eight position DIP switch to accomplish the input sensor 

configuration, range selection, and unit calibration. A simple range setting 
technique (Field Calibration) is used so the actual input signal adjusts the output 
current for scaling. This technique eliminates the need for potentiometers which 
are vulnerable to changes due to vibration.

The unit is equipped with a universal mounting foot for attachment to 

standard DIN style mounting rails, including top hat rail (T) according to EN 
50 022 - 35 X 7.5 and 35 X 15, and G profile according to EN 50 035 - G 32.
