5.0  SERVICE AND REPAIR 

 

CAUTION:

  Risk of Electric Shock - More than one 

disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the 
equipment before servicing. 

 

SERVICE AND REPAIR ASSISTANCE 

 

This module contains solid-state components and requires no 

maintenance, except for periodic cleaning and transmitter 
configuration parameter (zero, full-scale, setpoint, deadband, etc) 
verification.  Since Surface Mounted Technology (SMT) boards 
are generally difficult to repair, it is highly recommended that a 
non-functioning module be returned to Acromag for repair.  The 
board can be damaged unless special SMT repair and service 
tools are used.  Further, Acromag has automated test equipment 
that thoroughly checks and calibrates the performance of each 
module.  Please refer to Acromag’s Service Policy Bulletin or 
contact Acromag for complete details on how to obtain service 
parts and repair. 
 

PRELIMINARY SERVICE PROCEDURE 

 
Before beginning repair, be sure that all installation and 

configuration procedures have been followed.  The unit routinely 
performs internal diagnostics following power-up or reset.  During 
this period, all LED’s will turn ON momentarily, and the green 
“Run” LED flashes.  If the diagnostics complete successfully, the 
“Run” LED will stop flashing after approximately one second and 
remain ON.  This indicates that the unit is operating normally.  If 
the “Run” LED continues to flash, then this is indicative of a 
problem.  In this case, use the Acromag IntelliPack Configuration 
Software to reconfigure the module or download its firmware and 
this will usually cure the problem.  If the diagnostics continue to 
indicate a problem (a continuously flashing green LED), or if other 
evidence points to a problem with the unit, an effective and 
convenient fault diagnosis method is to exchange the 
questionable module with a known good unit. 

 
The IntelliPack Serial Port Adapter also contains a red LED 

visible at the small opening in the enclosure to the right of the 
RJ11 receptacle.  If this LED is OFF or Flashing and power is 
ON, then a communication interface problem exists.  Note that 
the adapter receives its power from the IntelliPack module.  A 
constant ON LED indicates a properly working and powered 
serial interface adapter. 

 
Acromag’s Application Engineers can provide further 

technical assistance if required.  When needed, complete repair 
services are available from Acromag. 
 
 

6.0  SPECIFICATIONS 

 

892M-0500-C

, Two I/V Inputs, Single Process I/V Output 

894M-0500-C

, Four I/V Inputs, Single Process I/V Output 

 

General:

  The IntelliPack Model 89XM-0500 is a DC-powered 

computation transmitter which mathematically combines up 
to four channels of process current or voltage, and provides 
an isolated current or voltage output that is the result of a 
programmed equation that operates on the inputs.  Isolation 
is supplied between the input, output, and power. 

 
Input channels share common and are not isolated from each 
other.  This transmitter is DIN-rail mounted.   

 

The unit is configured and calibrated with our user-friendly 
Window 95/98

 or NT

 IntelliPack Configuration Program.  

All calibration and configuration information is stored in non-
volatile reprogrammable memory in the module. 

 

MODEL NUMBER DEFINITION 
 

Transmitters are color coded with a white label.  The prefix “8” 
denotes the IntelliPack Series 800, while the “M” suffix specifies 
that this device is primarily a computation (Math) transmitter. 

 
89xM:

  Provides a resultant isolated DC current or voltage output 

response to a mathematical equation that combines up to 
two or four DC voltage or current inputs. 

 
-0500:

  The four digits of this model suffix represent the following 

options, respectively: 

 

0 = Relay: No Alarm Relay; 
5 = Output: Transmitter Voltage or Current; 
0 = Enclosure: DIN rail mount; 
0 = Approvals: cULus Listed. 
 

INPUT SPECIFICATIONS 

 

Unit must be wired and configured for the intended input types 
and ranges (see Installation Section for details).  The following 
paragraphs summarize this model’s input types, ranges, and 
applicable specifications. 
 

DC (Process) Current:

  0-1mA, 0-20mA, and 4-20mA.  All input 

ranges are subsets of the 0-20mA input range.  A precision 
49.9

 current sink resistor is placed in the I+ input lead and 

converts the input current to a voltage that is processed by 
the A/D converter.  Input I+ must be jumpered to the V+ 
terminal to utilize current input.  This module also provides an 
excitation supply (15VDC/48mA) for use with 2-wire 
transmitters. 

Current Input Reference Test Conditions:

  4 to 20mA input 

(jumper installed); Ambient Temperature = 25

Supply = 24VDC; Output = 4-20mA, Normal Acting; Output 
Formula = average of combined inputs [(A + B + C + D)/4].

  Bipolar Transient Voltage 

Suppressers (TVS), 18V clamp level typical. 

Input Resistance:
