The NEWPORT® i8 is a 1/8 DIN size (96mm x 48mm) Digital Panel Meter featuring the big iSeries color-changing display. The digits are twice the size of typical 1/8 DIN panel meters. The iSeries meters feature the only LED displays that can be programmed to change color between Green, Amber, and red at any set point or alrm point. The “i8” model is available as an extremely accurate programmable digital panel meter with no outputs or with dual outputs for controlling or alarming functions. Other options include isolated programmable analog output, serial communications, Modbus and Ethernet. The user can easily program the i8 for any control or alarming requirement from simple on-off to full autotune PID with a choice of Form C SPDT relays, Solid State Relays, DC pulse, and Analog (voltage and current) outputs.

Fully Isolated Analog Output for retransmission of the process value is available in addition to the control and alarm relays (specify model i8A33).

The i8 covers a broad selection of transducer and transmitter inputs with two input models:

The Universal Temperature & Process instrument (model "i") handles ten common types of thermocouples, multiple RTD's, and several Process (DC) Voltage and Current ranges. This model also features built-in excitation, 24 Vdc @ 25 mA. with it's wide choice of signal inputs, this model is an excellent choice for measuring or controlling temperature with a thermocouple, RTD, or 4-20mA transmitter.

The Strain & Process instrument (model "iS") measures inputs from Load Cells, Pressure Transducers, and most any strain gauge sensor as well as Process Voltage and Current ranges. The "iS" has built-in 5 or 10 Vdc excitation for bridge transducers, 5 Vdc @ 40mA or 10 Vdc @ 60mA. (Any excitation voltage special order.) This "iS" model supports 4 and 6 wire bridge configurations, ratiometric and non-ratiometric measurements. The "iS" features fast and easy "in-process" calibration/scaling of the signal inputs to any engineering units. This model also features 10 Point Linearization which allows the user to linearize the signal input from extremely nonlinear transducers of all kinds.

The NEWPORT® i8 1/8 DIN enclosure has a NEMA 4 (IP65) rated front bezel and removable rear connectors for easy installation and wiring. The i/8 series panel meter features plug/removable connectors and a sturdy panel mounting sleeve with adjustable thumb nuts for easy secure installation.

i/8 and i/32 FAMILY
The NEWPORT^® iSeries is a family of microprocessor-based instruments offered in two true DIN sizes with NEMA-4, IP65 rated front bezels. All of the instruments share the same set-up and configuration menu and method of operation, a tremendous time saver for integration of a large system.

Programmable Color Display
The NEWPORT® iSeries are the first complete series of 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 DIN process control instruments with totally programmable color displays. The display can be programmed to change color at any set point or alarm point.

iSeries Change Color at any Setpoint

For example, the instrument can be programmed to display the process value in GREEN during warm-up, switching to AMBER to signal the normal operating range, and in RED to signal an alarm condition. The changes in color are quickly seen from a distance, and machine operators can intuitively react to changing conditions. The colors can be programmed to change back when the value drops back below the alarm point or to "latch" on until being reset by the operator.

The instrument can also be programmed to display only one unchanging color: GREEN, AMBER, or RED. This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a glance, process values in three separate locations, or to display three different measurements such as Temperature, Pressure, and Flow.

Designed and Manufactured in the USA
The innovative NEWPORT^® iSeries of meters/controllers features an extended Five (5) YEAR warranty at no extra charge. The iSeries packs a wealth of power and features into the smallest of packages, utilizing COB (chip-on-board) and SMT (surface mount technology) assembly techniques and automation. Every iSeries instrument is thoroughly calibrated and tested at several stages throughout production. The iSeries offers the highest accuracy for industrial instrumentation at 0.03% of reading. The analog-to-digital conversion utilizes proprietary 20-bit ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) patented algorithms and smart filtering.

Universal Inputs The innovative iSeries offers the broadest selection of signal inputs available on one industrial instrument. The choices are easily selected from the Menu with four front panel pushbuttons, or by serial communications.

Process Voltage and Current
The NEWPORT^® iSeries measures process voltage: 0-100 millivolt, 0-1 Volt, 0-10 Volt ranges, and process current: 0-20 mA.

Analog Output
The optional analog output can be programmed within a range of 0-10 Vdc or 0-20 mA. It is selectable as either a control output or as a calibrated retransmission of the process value-a unique feature among controllers.

Built-in Excitation Standard
The iSeries comes standard with built-in 10 Vdc @ 60 mA or 5 Vdc @ 40 mA excitation for transmitters or other devices. Built-in excitation is not available with optional Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Serial communications.

Control Functions
The iSeries can control simple manual operation to ON-OFF and full Autotune PID control. (Selectable preset tune, adaptive tune, PID, PI, PD control modes.) The dual control outputs can be configured for a variety of independent control and alarm applications. The ramp-to-setpoint feature allows the user to define the rate of rise to setpoint, minimizing thermal shock to the load during start-up. Maximum ramp time: 99.59 (HH.MM), Soak: 00.00 to 99.59 (HH.MM), Damping: 1 to 8 in unit steps. Input types: 0 to 20 mA, 0 to 100 mV, 0 to 1 V and 0 to 10 Vdc.

Free Software
Free software is provided for easy set-up, configuration and data acquisition with the NEWPORT^® iSeries.

Free ActiveX Controls
Free ActiveX Controls are provided for the iSeries, making it easy to integrate the iSeries with information systems using "ActiveX Containers" such as Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Excel as well as with popular OLE and OPC compliant data acquisition, process control, and industrial automation software from NEWPORT^®, GE Fanuc, Intellution, Rockwell Automation, Object Automation, iconics, and Wonderware among others.

Optional Isolated RS-232 and RS-485 Serial Communications
The iSeries are the first intelligent industrial instruments to offer both RS-232 and RS-485 serial communications in one instrument which can be selected from the menu.

The iSeries features both the iSeries serial protocol and MODBUS serial protocol.

Free Factory Setup and Configuration
Make installing your iSeries meter or controller easier by ordering it preconfigured by the factory, at no extra charge. You specify the input types, scaling if applicable, set points, alarm points, etc. and we will program the instruments to your specific requirements in our calibration lab prior to shipment. For a checklist of factory setup parameters, please consult your NEWPORT^® applications engineers. The Factory Setup and configuration option requires the serial communication "-C24" option.

Custom Configurations
Custom color bezels and enclosures are available for Original Equipment Manufacturers. Enhance the appearance of your equipment design with custom colors. Consult the NEWPORT^® OEM Group. iSeries LED displays are considerably bigger, brighter and therefore more visible than displays for conventional instruments with the same DIN size. The segments in the i/8 are 21 mm (0.83") high.
