ISOCON-6 USERS GUIDE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Hardware Features
The ISOCON-6 is a universal input Isolating Signal Converter. It can accept
virtually every type of analogue input signal from millivolts to 40Vdc, mA,
thermocouples, RTD’s etc. It also produces 3 types of analogue output; voltage,
mA source, or mA sink.
The unit can be powered by any DC voltage between 12 and 36Vdc or 12 and
32Vac. For mains AC voltage the ISOCON-3 is available which can be powered
from any supply from 90Vac to 264Vac at 50 or 60Hz.
The instrument is packaged in a very compact 12.5mm wide enclosure which can
be mounted on standard TS35 DIN-rail.
The unit can also be equipped with 1 digital output which can be either a relay or
an open collector output, or a second analogue output (see DUALCON-6). Note,
units with above options are housed in a 17.5mm wide box.
1.1.1 Isolation Details
The ISOCON-6 has full 3 port isolation of 1000V between the Input Stage,
Output Stage and Power Supply for functional reasons.
2. UNPACKING

If the instrument has been factory configured the input and output details will be
listed on the Serial number label on the side of the unit. If this label is blank then
the unit will be set to its default configuration which is 4-20mA input and 4-
20mA source output. Please check that the details on the side label are correct,
especially the power supply voltage.
If re-configuration is required please refer to Section 4 of this manual.
