1. SUMMARY
AI-7021 provides two-channel transmitters or signal isolators. It has the following features:
● It provides 2 channels of configurable inputs, and supports multiple voltage, RTD, thermocouple
inputs with auto reference junction compensation. If parallel connected to an external precise
resistance, it accepts current signal input. Each channel has its own digital filtering and can
adjust its filtering degree.
● It generates two isolated current outputs, 4-20mA or 0 – 20mA. The range of retransmission
output can be freely defined.
● This model uses high performance hardware, which leads to greatly decreased temperature
drift and interference among the two channels. As a result, this multi-channel instrument
achieves the same measurement accuracy and anti-interference ability as that of single
channel instrument.
● It generates digital adjusted current output without potentiometer, making the current output
precise and stable.
● The model is DIN rail mounted. Its width is only 22.5mm. The instrument can be easily
configured by connecting to our E8 handset display.
● Universal power supply of 100-240VAC or 24VDC.
● ISO9001 and CE certified and meets EMC standards. Its power and all I/O terminals pass
4KV/5KHz EFT test and can work reliably under interference.

When the light is off, it indicates that the instrument has no power
or it is out of order. When the light is on (for at least longer than 8
seconds), it indicates that the instrument has power on but is out of

4. DISPLAYS AND OPERATIONS

The parameters of AI-7021D5 can be set by an
external E8 display which can be used to configure
AI-7021D5 at the initial set up, as well as remain ①

connected to AI-7021D5 and serves as an external

display.

The functions of the parts of E8 external display panel is as below:

① Upper display window, displays PV of channel 1 or ④

③
parameter code, etc. when display keep flashing or
A/M
the reading abnormal, please check the input
specification set correct or not. ⑤ ⑥

② Lower display window, displays PV of channel 2 or RUN/HOLD STOP

parameter value. When display keep flashing or the

reading abnormal, please check the input specification set correct or not.
③ Setup key, for accessing parameter table and conforming parameter modification.
④ Data shift key.
⑤ Data decrease key
⑥ Data increase key.

Operation Instructions:
Setting parameters:
When the parameter lock “Loc” isn't locked, pressing and holding for about 2 seconds
will bring up the full parameter table. Pressing will bring up the parameters one by one.
Press◄ 、▲ or ▼ to modify the value of a parameter. Pressing ◄ and holding will return to the
preceding parameter. Pressing ◄and holding and at the same time press key will get
out of the parameter table.
When the parameter lock “Loc” is locked, pressing will bring up field parameter table which
just shown INPx, SCLx and SCHx from display and can’t modify.
The instrument will automatically leave the parameter table if no key is pressed in the past 25
seconds, and the change of the last parameter will not be saved.

Note: The 1394 socket of the instrument only supports Yudian ADP1 display.

SCLx Scale low limit SCL and SCH define the corresponding scale range of linear output. For
example, for channel 1, in order to retransmit 0~600℃ to output channel 1, -999~+3000
SCL1 = 0, and = 600. units
SCHx Scale high limit
For channel 2, to transmit 0~1000℃, then SCL2=0, SCH2=1000.
Scb is used to shift input to compensate the error caused by transducer, input signal,
or auto cold junction compensation of thermocouple.
PV_after_compensation=PV_before_compensation + Scb -199~+999.0
Scbx Input offset For thermocouple or three-wire RTD inputs, the units of Sc is 0.1℃. For units or 0.1℃
example, when Scb=-100, the actual offset=-10℃, then the measured
temperature will be 10℃ lower than that when Scb=0.
The value of FIL will determine the ability of filtering noise.
FIL=0, no filtering;
FIL=1, filtering with mean;
FIL=2~40, filtering with mean and integral.
When a large value is set, the measurement input is stabilized but the
FILx Digital filter 0~40
response speed is slow. Generally, it can be set to 1 to 3.
If great interference exists, then you can increase parameter FIL gradually to
make momentary fluctuation of measured value less than 2 to 5.
When the instrument is being metrological verified, FIL can be set to 0 or 1
to shorten the response time.
Retransmission OPn=1, For 1 input 1 output or 2 inputs 2 outputs retransmission
