AC INPUT TRANSMITTERS
PLUG-IN MODULES, FIXED RANGE

JH6010I: AC Voltage Input, Isolated
JH6010IR: AC Voltage Input, Isolated, with True RMS Response
JH6020I: AC Current Input, Isolated
JH6020IR: AC Current Input, Isolated, with True RMS Response

The JH6010I/6020I series provides an isolated DC output proportional to an AC voltage or current input. Applications range from power monitoring to millivolt-level AC signals from sensors. Input/output isolation is standard to guard against shock hazards in power measurements and against ground loop errors.

The standard transmitter is average responding, calibrated to provide accurate RMS readings with sine wave inputs. Accuracy is better than 0.5% of span, but will be degraded with nonsinusoidal waveforms such as from SCR/Triac speed and power controllers or pulse-modulated motor drives. For accurate readings with nonsinusoidal waveforms use the true-RMS style.

Red-green Quick-Check LEDs give a quick indication of the relative output. Red is brighter at the low end, green at high, while at mid-scale both are approximately equal. Red-only indicates offscale low while green-only indicates offscale high.

Available options include AC or DC power choices and reverse-action Option RT (decreasing output with increasing input).

ORDERING INFORMATION
Model Number:   Select from the list above.  Add suffix -AC for AC power or -DC for DC power.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

These transmitters plug into any standard 8-pin circular ("octal") relay socket. JH Technology offers a socket suitable for DIN-rail or surface mounting  (see the Accessories page). Pin connections are:

Pin 1: Power (AC or, if DC power option, DC plus).
Pin 2: No connection.
Pin 3: Power (AC or, if DC power option, DC minus).
Pin 4: No connection.
Pin 5: AC signal input.
Pin 6: AC signal input.
Pin 7: Output plus.
Pin 8: Output minus.

APPLICATION NOTE – CURRENT TRANSFORMER INPUTS

When monitoring the output of a current transformer never use current-input Model JH6020I. Unplugging the module will remove the transformer’s secondary load, resulting in potentially damaging or dangerous voltage spikes (up to several hundred volts).

Instead, use voltage-input Model JH6010I with an appropriate precision external shunt resistor. For 0/5 amps we recommend specifying a 0/250mVac input range with a 0.05 ohm, 0.1% 3 watt external shunt. We offer Part No. R0.05/DS008, a precision shunt resistor assembly preassembled to socket DS008. The socket snaps onto DIN rail or may be surface mounted using screws.
