Manufacturer recomendations:

• Use always shielded signal cables

• Install equipment to metall housing
• If plastic housings are used, it must be
installed to unattached wall
• If power line contains inductive peaks,
reduce them with ferrite core

General description
Signal converter 641 is designed to convert standard
process input /output signals. Current inputs 0/4..20
mA can be converted into voltage outputs, -10..+10 V
can be converted to 0..10 V, low mV inputs can be
converted to standard outputs etc. Signal converter
641 accepts 2-wire transmitters without separate power
supply. Potentiometer input as a standard.
Galvanic isolation is made at the same time with the
convertion. Galvanic isolation cuts the noise signals
which may exist when using low voltage signals, f.ex.
thermocouples.
Output selectable via DIP-switches: voltage 0..±5 V,
0..±10 V or current 0/4..20 mA.
Converter 641 gives also the possibility to signal
damping. There is four selectable dampings: 0,1 ms,
250 ms, 500 ms or 750 ms. Selecetion via DIP-
switches. (Notice output rise times for high frequensies,
page 8.)
Operating voltage 24 VDC is also isolated from input
and output.
The common inputs and outputs are selected via DIP-
switches. Fine adjustment is made with front panel
zero and span potentiometers.

Range selection
Input and output can be selected via DIP-switches.
Table 1B contains ranges that can be selected without
special actions (resistor changes etc.).
Table marking SW stands for DIP-switchs postion ON
or OFF. J2 is a short cut jumper, ON means that the
pinns are short cutted (see table below).
You can find switch and jumper locations from the
component picture on this page. When selecting stan-
dard ranges, note the following jumper settings: J6
OFF, J7 1-2, J8 OFF.

Special range selection

It is also possible to select inputs and outputs other
than standard ranges, simply by DIP-switches. Special
range selection is made via jumpers J2, J6, J7, J8 and
different combinations of resistors R8, R32, R33, R34.
Zero adjust and special dampings are also possible
with those components.
Table 2 contains part of special ranges and convertions.
Other combinations are also possible, refer to manu-
facturer on this matter.
Note: DIP-switches SW1-SW6 must be in OFF-posi-
tion when selecting below ranges.

Potentiometer inputs:
641 can also be used as a position transmitter for
P otentiom eter / Ω R8 / Ω
potentiometers. Standard output ranges are in table 3
and special ranges in table 4. Potentiometer input is 500 750
delivered to ordered potentiometer size, which can be 1 000 1 500
changed later by selecting new range resistor R8. 2 000 3 000
When modifying 641 to potentiometer, cut resistor R3 5 000 7 500
from the PCB-board. Also serial resistor R8 should be 10 000 15 000
added, its size is depending to potentiometer size, see
20 000 30 000
table 5. If the converter is already delivered to poten-
tiometer, these modifications are made in factory. 50 000 75 000
Select new size for R8 from table 5. If You have other 100 000 150 000
potentiometer than in the table, serial resistor is 1,5 200 000 300 000
times greater than the potentiometer used. When 500 000 750 000
selecting the output, notice the following jumper set-
