AND
CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own
expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the
interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

RS-232 ↔CURRENT LOOP INTERFACE CONVERTER
The RS-232 ↔Current Loop Interface
Converter (CL050) is a bidirectional
self-contained unit that enables the
interconnection of a digital
20/30/60mA unipolar current-loop
interface with an RS-232 interface. The
CL050 cannot be used with an analog
current loop (4 to 20 mA) or bipolar
current loop.
Current loop was designed to transfer
data in a noisy environ-ment with as
much integrity as possible. The
maximum distance that the CL050 can
be placed from other devices on the
current loop (see Chapter 1) is based
on using 24 AWG under ideal
conditions, with the CL050 designated
as the active device in a point-to-point
configuration.
The CL050 can act as either an active
or passive device on the current loop.
As an active device, the CL050 supplies
20, 30, or 60 ma loop current at 18
VDC for operation. As a passive device,
the CL050 will not supply loop current,
but it will operate with 20, 30, or 60 ma
unipolar current at up to 30 VDC.
WARNING!
Only one device on the current
loop may be active. If more than
one device is active, each of the
devices will be permanently
damaged.
Refer to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 for
instructions on testing the current loop
and connecting it to the CL050.
Switch selections allow for half-duplex
or full-duplex operation; 20, 30, or 60
mA loop current; and configuring the
CL050 as either DTE or DCE.
Two LEDs monitor data flow.
If you ordered the CL050A-R2, you
should have received cables with it.
A 220-volt power supply (CL050E) is
also available.

1. Remove the screw located at the
center of the bottom cover.
2. Remove the top cover.
3. Lift the back panel from its guide.
4. Insert the power supply receptacle
into the 4-prong plug (See Figure
7-1 on page 16. The 4-prong plug
is near W1). The receptacle
should be aligned so that the lip is
on the upward side. DO NOT
PLUG THE POWER SUPPLY
INTO AN AC OUTLET!
5. Test your current loop for active
devices. See Section 4.1 on page
11.
6. Connect your current loop to the
CL050. See Section 4.2 on page
12.
7. Insert the back panel into its
guide, making sure the power-
supply cable and current-loop
cable exit through the holes
provided for them.
8. Set switches SWA, SWB and SWC
to the desired positions. The
CL050 is shipped with SWA set to
Full-Duplex, Passive; SWB set to
20mA receive; 20mA transmit; and
SWC set to DTE. See Sections 4.3,
4.4, and 5.2, respectively, on pages
11 and 13 for more information
on these switches.
9. Replace the top cover.
10. Replace the screw.
11. Attach your RS-232C cable.
12. Plug the power supply into an AC
outlet. The CL050 is now ready
for operation.

4.1 Testing for Other Active Devices
on the Current Loop
You must test for an active device on
the current loop if you plan to have the
CL050 supply loop current.
WARNING!
Only one device on the
current loop may be active.
If more than one device is
active at the same time,
each device will be
permanently damaged.
There are two tests that you can run.
Either is sufficient.
4.1.1 LED T
EST
(1) Unplug the CL050 from the AC
outlet.
(2) Set the SWA switch to full duplex,
passive.
(3) Attach the T- of the 4-wire current
loop device (or “-” in a 2-wire current
loop) to R- of the CL050A.
(4) Attach the T+ of the 4-wire current
loop device (or “+” in a 2-wire current
loop) to R+ of the CL050A. See Figure
4-1 (4-wire current loop) or Figure 4-2
(2-wire current loop).
(5) Plug the CL050 into the AC outlet.
