Model 9110TH NOx Analyzer

Getting Started

The analyzer is now ready to have a voltage-sensing, recording device attached to that output. Calibrate the analog output as described in Section 5.9.3.2.

3.3.1.5. Connecting the Status Outputs

The status outputs report analyzer conditions via optically isolated NPN transistors, which sink up to 50 mA of DC current. These outputs can be used interface with devices that accept logic-level digital inputs, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Each Status bit is an open collector output that can withstand up to 40 VDC. All of the emitters of these transistors are tied together and available at pin D.

ATTENTION

COULD DAMAGE INSTRUMENT AND VOID WARRANTY

 

Most PLC’s have internal provisions for limiting the current that the input

 

will draw from an external device. When connecting to a unit that does

 

not have this feature, an external dropping resistor must be used to limit

 

the current through the transistor output to less than 50 mA. At 50 mA,

 

the transistor will drop approximately 1.2V from its collector to emitter.

The status outputs are accessed via a 12-pin connector on the analyzer’s rear panel labeled STATUS (Figure 3-4). Pin-outs for this connector are:
