    DATA SHEET

Model JH4305 provides 24Vdc loop excitation for a remote 2-wire transmitter, takes the signal from that transmitter and provides a proportional DC voltage or current output. It also may be used with DC-powered "3-wire" sensors and transmitters whose supply currents do not exceed 25mA. Input/output isolation overcomes the ground loop problems sometimes encountered with nonisolated DC-powered transmitters.

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.

The JH4305 is a fixed-range device, precisely calibrated at the factory. AC and DC power choices are available.

ORDERING INFORMATION

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

The JH4305 plugs into any standard 8-pin circular ("octal") relay socket. JH Technology offers two sockets: DS008 for DIN-rail or surface mounting and ST008 for Snap-Track 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: 

+24Vdc power to input transmitter.
For 2-wire loop, connect to transmitter’s plus output terminal.
For 3-wire transmitter, connect to transmitter’s plus power terminal.
Pin 5: 

Input plus.
For 2-wire loop, connect to transmitter’s minus output terminal.
For 3-wire transmitter, connect to transmitter’s plus output terminal.
Pin 6: 

Input common.
Not used with 2-wire loop.
For 3-wire transmitter, connect to transmitter’s minus (common) terminal.
Pin 7: 

Output plus.
Pin 8: 

Output minus.
