Press Release Summary:
DIN-rail-mount Model WV108 provides 2 selectable relay output functions. It is powered by 9-30 Vdc and is field-configurable via DIP switches for DC voltages from ±20 mV to ±200 V and dc current inputs of ±10 or ±100 mA. Alarm outputs can be set as high or low alarms to operate in failsafe or non-failsafe modes. TouchCAL(TM) technology provides electronic stability of microprocessor, enabling 100% adjustment of setpoints and deadbands.
Original Press Release:
Eurotherm, Action Instruments Announces New, Field Configurable, DC Input Limit Alarm with TouchCAL(TM) Technology, WV Series Model WV108
SAN DIEGO, CA, USA - June 10, 2003 - Action Instruments, a division of Eurotherm, a leading manufacturer and supplier of industrial instrumentation for the process control and data acquisition industries, and a unit of Invensys plc, announces the immediate availability of the new WV Series model WV108, DC input, dual setpoint limit alarm with TouchCAL(TM) technology. This high density, field configurable, DIN rail mount device accepts most DC current and voltage inputs and provides two selectable relay output functions.
Model WV108 is powered by a flexible 9 to 30 V DC and is field configurable via DIP switches for DC voltage inputs from ±20mV to ±200V and DC current inputs of ±10mA or ±100mA. The dual relay alarm outputs are also field configurable via DIP switches and can be set as high or low alarms to operate in failsafe or non-failsafe modes. This outstanding flexibility ensures that the device is available off-the-shelf, just when you need it, thereby reducing your inventory carrying costs. Configuration via DIP switches is remarkably simple and enables maximum setpoint resolution. An additional advantage of the WV108 is the provision of a 24V DC excitation source to power a two-wire transmitter.
TouchCAL(TM) technology, a standard feature on the WV108, replaces the mechanical and thermal variability of potentiometers with the electronic stability of a microprocessor. This enables 100% adjustment of setpoints and deadbands and carries with it a string of benefits. It provides a reliable, digitally stable circuit ensuring better long-term performance and reliability. Calibration is as quick and easy as inputting the setpoint and deadband levels and pressing a recessed button to store the values in non-volatile memory.
There are two standard versions of the WV108. The WV108-0000 utilizes standard relays in that when power is removed, the relay transitions to its OFF state. The WV108-0001 incorporates latching relays. When a power loss occurs, the relay remains in its current state. A manual reset is required after power is re-applied in order to reset the relay and clear the alarm. The WV108-0001 does not support failsafe/non-failsafe operation. Both models are supported by a LIFETIME WARRANTY.
