1.0 DESCRIPTION

Figure 1-1. Model 509-1


1.1 DEFINITION/APPLICATION
Model 509 is a signal powered, two-wire current-loop indicator that accepts a 4-20 mA process signal. It computes the square root of the input, normalized to full scale and digitally displays (2000 active counts) the process variable in either percent or in engineering units for such parameters as pressure or flow.

1.2 FEATURES
In-field Programmability
Three decimal points and a dummy right-hand zero are selected by push-on jumpers. Zero and span may be fine tuned with precision, 25-turn potentiometers.

Signal Powered
Model 509 obtains operating power directly from the current loop, requiring a drop of less than 2.5 V.

Electrical Isolation/Overrange Protection
The 509 is electrically isolated from its case and is immune to most sources of electrical noise encountered in process-control environments. In the event of input overrange currents, the 509 can tolerate 250 mA in the forward direction and 1000 mA reverse.

Vibration/Shock/Water Resistance
Low mass and multi-point circuit board support give excellent vibration and shock resistance. Sturdy, die-cast construction, polyurethane paint, and full fluorosilicone gasketing ensure a virtually waterproof case. Circuit boards are conformally coated for added humidity protection.

Mounting Versatility
The 509-1 may be mounted in a control room on either American or European relay tracks with snaptrack adaptors. The unit can be wall mounted using an available bulkhead adaptor or mounted in an explosion-proof enclosure for wiring compatability with other equipment in hazardous environments. Both the 509-2 and the 509-3 may be connected directly to a conduit with a "T" junction box.
