Z170REG Signal Splitter or Signal Duplicator from Ucontrol Australia

Ucontrol Pty Ltd is a pioneer in the distribution of various types of signal splitters or signal duplicators. The extremely flexible and cost-effective Z170REG signal splitter can not only be used as a signal duplicator but also as a signal doubler or signal isolator for analog signals.

The Z170REG signal splitter has a dimension of 17,5 x 100 x 112 mm with DIN rail mounting. Only one model number for almost all analog inputs ( 4-20mA, mV, 0-10V, PT100, Pt1000, Pt500, Ni100, Thermocouple, and Ohms ) and this can be programmed by the user via on board dip switches or via computer using free of cost EASY_Z109 wizard programme software. The EASY_Z109 wizard software allows very simple configuration by wizard based prompts.

The auxiliary power supply provides option of active or passive 4 to 20 mA connections on the output side. Channels number includes 1 input and 2 outputs. Moreover, Z170REG signal splitter has 1.5 kVac, 4-way galvanic isolation with 14 bits A/D resolution and easily removable 3-way screw terminals.

Maximum power that this splitter can consume is 2W. Dipswitch configuration is possible for most standard ranges, and it is a very quick method and comes handy if no PC access is available.

Z170REG Signal Splitter or Signal Duplicator is made of Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), a thermoplastic engineering polymer ideal for use as an insulator in the electrical and electronics industries. PBT is a thermoplastic semi-crystalline polymer resistant to solvents and shrinks very little during forming. Z170REG is extremely heat-resistant to up to 150 °C; thanks to PBT for this. The device weighs 110 g and comes with a black housing.

The operating temperature of Z170REG is -10°C... +65°C, and it has a humidity of 30... 90% to 40°C not condensing (during operation). Its storage temperature is -20°C... +85°C.

Ucontrol Pty Ltd Australia pays utmost importance to protection of signal splitters, and so the Z170REG signal splitter or signal duplicator comes with IP20 protection class which is an international standard. The device has also received CE, EN 61000-6-4, EN 64000-6-2, EN 61010-1 approvals for best use in diverse industries.

Z170REG has a supply voltage: 10 – 40 Vdc or 19 – 28 Vac (50Hz-60Hz) and minimum and maximum power consumption of 0.5 W and 2 W respectively. It is possible to configure response time between: 11 ms («Fast» rejection=max velocity), 22.66 ms (rejection to 60Hz) or 26 ms (rejection to 50Hz).

Configurable input voltage scale ranges from 0-10V with input impedance of 120kW while output voltage scale ranges from 0 to 10 V with minimum resistance that can be connected: 20kOhm. The current input voltage scale range configurable from (0) 4-20mA while configurable current output voltage falls in the range of 0/4-20 mA.
