Each DSCP62 Thermocouple Converter provides a single channel of thermocouple input which is amplified, linearized and converted to a high-level current or voltage output. Thermocouple type, measurement range, filter, output type and range, and fault indication may be configured by dip-switch. An auxiliary relay output is provided to generate an alarm or act as a thermostat. Power can be applied directly to the converter’s terminals or through a DIN rail mounted bus connector accessory, eliminating the need to wire power to each individual converter.
The DSCP product series is a complete family of loop and universal AC/DC powered isolator and transmitter models in component, DIN rail, panel, and head-mount packages. The product range includes loop-powered isolators, wide-range AC/DC powered isolators and transmitters, fixed-gain models and hardware and dip-switch configurable models. Depending on the model, they accept a wide range of voltage, current, thermocouple, and RTD input signals, then filter, isolate, amplify, linearize, and convert them to high-level analog outputs for use in data acquisition, test and measurement, and control system applications. They protect measurement and control signals and connected equipment from noise, transient power surges, internal ground loops, and other hazards present in industrial environments.
