ORDERING CODE
The ordering code of AI-508T is made up of 8 parts, for example:
AI-701 A N X3 L5 N S4 — 24VDC
① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧
This means an instrument with ① model AI-701, ② dimension A (96x96mm), ③ no module in MIO (multiple input/output) slot, ④ X3 linear current
output module installed in OUTP (main output) slot, ⑤ L5 dual relay output module in ALM (alarm) slot, ⑥ no module in AUX (auxiliary output), ⑦
RS485 communication interface module S4 (with electric isolated power supply) in COMM (communication) slot, and ⑧ 24VDC power supply. The
meanings of the 8 parts of ordering code are as below:
① shows the model of instrument
AI-701 Indicating/Alarming Instrument with measurement accuracy of 0.2%FS
② shows the front panel dimension:
A/A2 Front panel 96×96mm (width×height), cut out 92×92mm, depth behind mounting surface 100mm. A2 has an additional light bar with 25
segments and 4 levels of luminosity which is able to indicate process value
B Front panel 160×80mm (width×height), cut out 152×76mm, depth behind mounting surface 100mm.
C(C3) Front panel 80×160mm (width×height), cut out 76×152mm, depth behind mounting surface 100mm. C3 has an additional light bar with
50 segments and 2 levels of luminosity which is able to indicate process value
D Front panel 72×72mm (width×height), cut out 68×68mm, depth behind mounting surface 95mm
E Front panel 48×96mm (width×height), cut out 45×92mm, depth behind mounting surface 100mm
F Front panel 96×48mm (width×height), cut out 92×45mm, depth behind mounting surface 100mm
③ shows the module types of multiple input/output (MIO). Selectable modules are as follows:
V24/V10 Isolated 24V/10V DC voltage output, can supply power for external transmitter or transducer.
I4 4-20mA or 0-20mA analogue input interface, has 24VDC/50mA power supply for two-wire transmitter.
I31 0-10V or 2-10V linear voltage input, has a 24VDC/50mA power supply for external transmitter or transducer.
④ shows the module types of main output (OUTP): installing X3 current output module can retransmit process value (PV).
⑤ shows the module type of alarm output (ALM): can output alarms by installing L1, L2, or L4 relay output module or L5 dual relay output module.
⑥ shows the module type of auxiliary output (AUX): can output alarms by installing L1, L2, L4 or L5 relay output module.
⑦ shows the module type of communication (COMM): installing S or S4 module can communicate with RS485 interface.
⑧ shows power supply: null indicates 100～240VAC power supply, and “24VDC” indicates 20～32VDC/AC power.
Note 1: 4～20mA or 0～20mA standard current signal can be inputted by converting to 1～5V/0～5V voltage signal with a 250 ohm resistor or installing I4
module MIO slot. I4 can supply 24VDC power to 2-wire transmitter.
Note 2: D dimension instruments have no MIO slot, and its COMM and ALM share the same slot and can’t be installed at the same time. Its ALM only
support AL1 single loop alarm.
Note 3: The instrument applies the technology of auto zero and digital calibration, and is free of maintenance. If the error exceeds certain range,
generally, cleaning and drying the inside of the instrument can fix it. If not, send the instrument back to the factory to examine and repair.
Note 4: Free repair and maintenance will be given in 36 months since the delivery. In order to get full and correct repair, write the phenomena and
causes of the malfunction of the instrument.
Note 5: Current module X3 and RS485 communication module S share the same power supply in the instrument, and are not electric isolated to each
other. Therefore, if X3 current module is installed in OUTP slot and RS485 communication is need at the same time, then RS485 communication
module should be S4 which itself has isolated power supply.

FRONT PANEL AND OPERATION

① Upper display window, displays PV, or code of a parameter
② Lower display window, displays alarming code or parameter value
③ Setup key, for accessing parameter tables, and confirming change.
④ Data shift key ①
⑤ Data decrease key
⑥ Date increase key
⑦ Indicator lamps: OP1, OP2, AL1, AL2, AU1and AU2 indicate the I/O actions of
the corresponding modules. ②
Basal display status : When power on, the upper display window of the instrument
shows the process value (PV), and the lower window shows the setpoint (SV). This ⑦
status is called basal display status. When the input signal is out of the measurable
range (for example, the thermocouple or RTD circuit is break, or input specification
③ ⑥
sets wrong), the upper display window will alternately display “orAL” and the high
limit or the low limit of PV, and the instrument will automatically stop output. ④ ⑤
Parameter Setting: In basal display status, press and hold for about 2
seconds can access Field Parameter Table. If the parameter lock “Loc” isn't locked
(Loc=0), we can modify the value of parameters by 、 or . Press key to decrease the value, key to increase the value,
and key to move to the digit expected to modify. Keep pressing or , the speed of decreasing or inscreasing value get quick.
Pressing can go to the next parameter. Press and hold can return to the preceding parameter. Press (don't release) and then
press simultaneously can escape from the parameter table. The instrument will escape auomatically from the parameter table if no key is pressed
within 30 seconds. Setting Loc=808 and then press can access System Parameter Table.

recommended. 0.000
Define scale low limit of input signal. It is also the scale of the low limit of retransmission output.
SCL Signal scale low limit For example, to transform 1～5V input signal into process value of 0～200.0, we shall set dPt=1,
SCL=0, SCH=200.0 -9999～
Define scale high limit of input signal. It is also the scale of the high limit of retransmission output. +30000
SCH Signal scale high limit For example, to transform 0～5V input signal into process value of 1000～2000, we shall set dPt=0,
SCL=1000, SCH=2000.
Scb is used to compensate the error produced by sensor or input signal.
-1999～
Scb Input shift adjustment PV_after_compensation= PV_before_compensation + Scb. For example, for the same input signal, if
+4000
the measured temperature PV is 500.0℃ when Scb=0.0, then PV should be 510.0℃ when Scb=10.0
The value of FILt will determine the ability of filtering noise.
When a large value is set, the measurement input is stabilized but the response speed is slow.
Generally, it can be set to 1 to 3.
FILt Input filter If great interference exists, then you can increase parameter “FILt” gradually to make momentary 0～40
fluctuation of measured value less than 2 to 5.
When the instrument is being metrological verified, “FILt” s can be set to 0 or 1 to shorten the response
time.
1-20: 0～20mA linear current retransmission output;

4-20: 4～20mA linear current retransmission output.
Addr communication address In the same communication line, different instrument on the same should be set to different address. 0～80
