ICP tM-AD5C is a 5-channel isolated current input module that provides a programmable input range on all analog inputs (+/- 20 mA, 0 ~ 20 mA, 4 ~ 20 mA). This allows you to connect a variety of sensors and transducers to the module, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
The tM-AD5C also features 4 KV ESD protection and 2500 Vrms intra-module isolation, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. The module's sampling rate is adjustable and is available in either fast or normal mode, allowing you to optimize the module's performance for your specific application.

1. Introduction
The tM-AD5C is an analog input module that includes 5 differential analog input
channels and provides a programmable input range on all analog inputs (+/- 20 mA, 0 ~
20 mA, 4 ~ 20 mA). The sampling rate of the tM-AD5C is adjustable and is available in
either fast or normal mode and It also provides 4 KV ESD protection as well as 2500
Vrms intra-module isolation.

3. Block/ Wiring Diagram
• Use 26-12 AWG wire for signal
connections.
• Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm.
• Use a crimp terminal for wiring.
• Avoid high-voltage cables and power
equipment as much as possible.
• For RS-485 communication, use
insulated and twisted pair 24 AWG
wire, e.g. Belden 9841.

5. Configuration
To install the module, follow the steps below:
1. Connect the thermistor analog input.
2. Connect the module to the RS-485 network using the DATA+ and DATA- terminals.
3. Connect the module to the power supply using the +Vs and GND terminals. Note that
the voltage supplied should be in the range of +10 to +30V DC.
