About this manual

The 3B45 and 3B46 are single‑channel isolated frequency input modules that provide simultaneous precision voltage and current outputs. They accept a variety of analog sensor signals such as thermocouples, RTDs, strain gages, and frequency transducers, and are designed for industrial signal conditioning, isolation, and filtering.

Key features include hot‑swappable plug‑in design, up to +1500 V peak isolation, dual outputs (0‑+10 V and 4‑20 mA), and configurable input ranges via an external AC1310 ranging card. The modules can operate from a +15 V to +16.5 V supply and are rated for harsh environments from –28 °C to +85 °C.
