Selection Suggestions and Precautions
Selection Criteria
-
Choose the IS220PAICH1B for new Mark VIe installations requiring the highest accuracy.
-
Upgrade from IS220PAICH1A to IS220PAICH1B if ±10 V output or improved accuracy is needed.
-
Ensure Mark VIe Toolbox version supports the IS220PAICH1B (v8.0 or higher).
-
Verify adequate +24 VDC field power for loop-powered transmitters.
Critical Precautions
-
Field Wiring – Use shielded twisted-pair cables for all analog connections to the IS220PAICH1B to prevent noise pickup. Terminate shields at field device end.
-
Terminal Block – The IS220PAICH1B requires specific terminal blocks (e.g., IS200STAIH1B). Verify compatibility.
-
Loop Power – The IS220PAICH1B does not provide loop power for 4–20 mA inputs. Use external power supplies.
-
Output Loading – Ensure loads do not exceed drive capability: 500Ω for current, 2 kΩ for voltage.
-
ESD Handling – Use grounded wrist straps when handling the IS220PAICH1B to prevent static damage.
-
Hot-Swap – Verify system is properly configured for live insertion of the IS220PAICH1B.
-
Configuration – Use Mark VIe Toolbox to configure input/output ranges, filtering, and diagnostics for each channel.
-
Calibration – The IS220PAICH1B is factory-calibrated. Re-calibration is generally not required in the field.
-
Obsolescence – The IS220PAICH1B is in active production. For future-proofing, evaluate the IS220PAICH1C when available.
