CR1000 SDM-AO4A 0-10V valve control, no output voltage


MikelisD Jan 4, 2018 10:14 AM

Hello, 

I am trying to use SDM-AO4A to control valve actuator with temperature. Wanted to check the output voltage before connecting to actuator, but cannot read any voltage at the outputs. As I understand 20 degC should give 2000 mV between output 1 and ground. And that is what the monitoring tab says, but there is nothing at outputs when I measure with voltmeter. And also there is no response code - sits at 0.

Check your wiring between the SDMAO4A and the datalogger. Also check the SDM address of the device.

Wiring is fine - using CR1000 12VDC output, C1 and G. Adress dial is set to 0 on the unit.

SDM requires C1, C2, and C3.

My bad, thank you very much
