1 General Description
Model D10096-000 Master Reference Unit is designed to handle a variety of applications in which signal conditioning and multiple outputs are required while maintaining input to output circuit isolation. Each Model D10096-000 can supply four separate outputs that are each isolated from the master reference signal and also from each of the other outputs. If more than four outputs are required, two or more units may be ganged together. A variety of outputs are acceptable as sources for the master reference signal. A +10 VDC voltage is available to allow the master signal to be sourced from a 2,000 to 10,000 Ohm, 2 Watt potentiometer. The potentiometer signal is supplied through a linear acceleration/deceleration circuit with two selectable ranges. A customer-supplied contact closure enables the acceleration/deceleration circuit and allows the reference to accelerate to a level set by the input potentiometer. The deceleration circuit operates whenever the reference is lowered. When the enable contact opens, the reference is zeroed immediately. Four selectable voltage ranges may also be used as master signals. The input impedance is greater than 1,000,000 Ohms for each voltage range. The available input ranges are 0 to 25 VDC, 0 to 50 VDC, 0 to 100 VDC and 0 to 200 VDC. Three selectable current ranges are available to handle various process control signals. The approximate input impedance for each range is listed in the chart below. Input Range 1 to 5 mA 4 to 40 mA 10 to 50 mA Impedance 1,000 Ohms 270 Ohms 100 Ohms

The final input is for a sine or square wave with a frequency range from 0 to 2,000 Hz. A buffer circuit with an input impedance of approximately 100,000 Ohms is supplied to limit loading on the frequency source. The circuit switches at a threshold level of approximately 0.5 VDC. Four identical output circuits are sourced from the master signal. Each output has separate OFFSET, GAIN, and BIAS adjustments to tailor the output signal. An optional Trim potentiometer input is also provided to allow the output to be remotely ratioed.

3 Adjustments
Select the type of input signal to be used and use the appropriate procedure listed below.

3.1 Potentiometer Input

Connect per drawing D10098 for the Potentiometer Input Mode. Select either the 1 to 5 or 4 to 40 second Accel/Decel range using jumper J1. Select the Pot. Mode with jumper J2. Select the V/I Mode with jumper J5. The position of jumpers J3 and J4 are not impor tant for this mode of operation. Set JA, JB, JC, and JD to the FAST position. Apply A.C. power to the unit. Close the enable contact to allow the Accel/ Decel circuit to function. Begin with the master pot. full counter-clock wise (ccw), and make the following adjust ments to Output Sections A through D. Make voltage readings with respect to COMMON of each output section (terminal 4). Adjust the Gain pot. full clockwise (approxi mately 20 turns). Adjust the external Trim pot. full clockwise if used. Adjust the Offset pot. for 0.0 VDC at the Trim Pot. CW terminal (terminal 3). Adjust the Bias pot. for 0.0 VDC or the minimum output level desired at the OUTPUT terminal (terminal 5). Adjust the Gain pot. full ccw (approximately 20 turns). Turn the master pot. to full clock wise. After allowing time for the Accel circuit to settle, adjust the Gain pot. for the maximum output level desired.

If the Trim pot. is connected, it can be turned counter-clockwise to trim the output to a smaller percentage of the input. Monitor the voltage at one of the OUTPUT terminals (terminal 5) and cycle the Master pot. clockwise and counter-clockwise several times. Adjust the Accel pot. for the desired accel time and the Decel pot. for the desired decel time. Clockwise rotation of each pot. increases time.

3.2 Voltage Input

Connect per drawing D10098 for the Voltage Input Mode. Select the Voltage Mode with jumper J2. Select the input voltage range desired with jumper J3. Select the V/I Mode with jumper J5. The position of jumpers J1 and J4 are not important for this mode of operation. Set JA, JB, JC, and JD to the FAST position. Apply A.C. power to the unit. The Enable con tact has no effect in this mode. Also the Accel and Decel pots. are not functional. Begin with the input voltage at 0.0 VDC and make the following adjustments to Output Sections A through D. Make voltage readings with respect to COMMON of each output sec tion (terminal 4). Adjust the Gain pot. full clockwise (approxi mately 20 turns). Adjust the external Trim pot. full clockwise if used. Adjust the Offset pot. for 0.0 VDC at the Trim Pot. CW terminal (terminal 3). Adjust the Bias pot. for 0.0 VDC or the min imum output level desired at the OUTPUT terminal (terminal 5). Carotron Model D10096 page 3

 Adjust the Gain pot. full ccw (approximately 20 turns). Apply the maximum voltage input and adjust the Gain pot. for the maxi mum output level desired. If the Trim pot. is connected, it can be turned counter clockwise to trim the output to a smaller percentage of the input.

3.4 Frequency input

Connect per drawing D10098 for the Frequency Input Mode. Select the Frequency Mode with jumper J5. The position of jumpers J1, J2, J3, and J4 are not important for this mode of operation. Set JA, JB, JC, and JD to the SLOW position for best performance. The FAST position can be used, but an increase in ripple voltage will result in the ouput. Apply A.C. power to the unit. The Enable con tact has no effect in this mode. Also the Accel and Decel pots. are not functional. Begin with the input frequency at zero or minimum and make the following adjustments to Output Sections A through D. Make voltage readings with respect to COMMON of each output section (terminal 4). Adjust the Gain pot. full clockwise (approxi mately 20 turns). Adjust the external Trim pot. full clockwise if used. Adjust the Offset pot. for 0.0 VDC at the Trim pot. clockwise terminal (terminal 3). Adjust the Bias pot. for 0.0 VDC or the minimum output level desired at the OUTPUT terminal (terminal 5). Adjust the Gain pot. full ccw (approximately 20 turns). Apply the maximum frequency input and adjust the Gain pot. for the maxi mum output level desired. If the Trim pot. is connected, it can be turned counter clockwise to trim the output to a smaller percentage of the input.

3.3 Current input

Connect per drawing D10098 for the Current Input Mode. Select the Current Mode with jumper J2. Select the input current range desired with jumper J4. Select the V/I Mode with jumper J5. The position of jumpers J1 and J3 are not important for this mode of operation. Set JA, JB, JC, and JD to the FAST position. Apply A.C. power to the unit. The Enable con tact has no effect in this mode. Also the Accel and Decel pots. are not functional. Begin with the input current at minimum for the range selected and make the following adjustments to Output Sections A through D. Make voltage readings with respect to COM MON of each output section (terminal 4). Adjust the Gain pot. full clockwise (approxi mately 20 turns). Adjust the external Trim pot. full clockwise if used. Adjust the Offset pot. for 0.0 VDC at the Trim Pot. CW terminal (terminal 3). Adjust the Bias pot. for 0.0 VDC or the min imum output level desired at the OUTPUT terminal (terminal 5). Adjust the Gain pot. full ccw (approximately 20 turns). Apply the maximum current input and adjust the Gain pot. for the maxi mum output level desired. If the Trim pot. is connected, it can be turned counter-clockwise to trim the output to a smaller percentage of the input.
