3.3.2 4- 20 mA Output
A 4 to 20 mA output signal is provided by the Model IR400 and can be sent to a General
Monitors’ readout/relay display module or any industrial device that can accept a 4 to 20 mA
signal for computer based multi-point monitoring. The Analog Output connection provides a
signal for use in displaying current LEL readings, special operation or fault conditions. The
maximum distance between the IR400 and the device connected to the Analog Output signal is
specified in Section 9.3.5.
To access the 4-20 mA signal, connect the white lead from the IR400 to the signal-in terminal
of the input unit. Refer to the manual of the display or other device being used for detailed
instructions.
Connect the black lead from the IR400 to the device Common. The Common connection
serves both the analog signal and the power connections.
3.3.3 Dual Modbus Interface
To access the Modbus (Modbus-RTU) interface, connect the blue lead from the IR400 to the
Modbus (+) terminal and the blue/white lead to the Modbus (-) terminal on the customer’s
Modbus capable device. For a description of the data available from the IR400 and the
programming interface, please refer to the separate IR400 Modbus manual.
3.3.4 HART Interface
A standard HART interface is available which provides a digital data channel at 1200 baud over
the 4-20 mA current loop. See the IR400 HART Manual Addendum for additional information.
3.3.5 Magnetic Switch
The IR400 also provides a lead for connecting a +24 VDC powered magnetic switch. The
brown lead from the IR400 must be connected to the powered side of the switch so that when
the switch is activated, the brown lead is grounded. General Monitors can supply a junction box
with an integral magnetic switch to ease the connection of the IR400 in the field (Figure ).
