1/8 DIN ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE METER

NEWPORT goes BEYOND INFINITY® with the all new INF-B. The NEWPORT INFINITY set the world standard for accuracy, performance and quality in digital panel meters. The all new INF-B raises the bar even higher with accuracy of up to ±0.005% of reading, and up to 166 readings per second.

The versatile NEWPORT INF-B handles a broad spectrum of dc voltage and current ranges, nine thermocouple types, multiple RTD's, and signals from strain gauge transducers such as load cells and pressure transducers, as well as potentiometric inputs. It also features ten point linearization of input signals, progammable by the user for custom applications.

Built-in excitation to power virtually any sensor or transmitter, and four isolated open collector outputs for control or alarms are standard. The big, bright, 6 digit patented LED display can be programmed to change color between Red, Amber, and Green at any set point. The digits are 58% bigger than the typical display. Output options include: Isolated programmable analog voltage or current and four relays.

With the Serial Communications option, the user can select from a push-button menu between RS-232, RS-485, and either a straightforward ASCII protocol or MODBUS. With NEWPORT’S award-winning Ethernet/Internet option, the new INF-B connects directly to an Ethernet network and transmits data in standard TCP/IP protocol. It is possible to monitor and control a process through a web browser from anywhere on the Internet.

Embedded Internet and Serial Communications
Featuring optional "Embedded Internet" (specify EI option) the INF-B connects directly to an Ethernet network and transmit data in standard TCP/IP packets, or even serve Web pages over a LAN or the Internet. The INF-B is also available with serial communications. With the C24 option, the user can select from the push-button menu between RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, with straightforward ASCII commands or MODBUS.

Programmable Color Display
The NEWPORT INF-B has totally programmable color displays. The display can be programmed to change color at any set point or alarm point.

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. INF-B LED displays are considerably bigger, brighter and therefore more visible than displays for conventional instruments with the same DIN size.

QUALITY and TECHNOLOGY
Designed and manufactured in the USA, the innovative NEWPORT® INF-B meters feature an extended five (5) YEAR warranty at no extra charge. The INF-B packs a wealth of power and features using COB (chip-on-board) and SMT (surface mount technology) assembly techniques and automation. Every INF-B instrument is thoroughly calibrated and tested at several stages throughout production. The INF-B offers the highest accuracy for industrial instrumentation at 0.005% of reading. The analog-to-digital conversion utilizes patented algorithms and smart filtering.

Universal Inputs
The innovative INF-B 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 or ethernet communications.

9 Thermocouple Types
The INF-B handles NINE (9) thermocouple types: K, J, T, E, R, S, B, N, and J DIN. The patented thermocouple linearization algorithms employed in the INF-B produce the highest standard of accuracy.

Most Accurate RTD Measurements
The INF-B works with the widest selection of RTD's and produces the most accurate RTD measurements. Handles 100 ohm Pt both 0.00385 and 0.00392 curves. Any 6 to 6000 ohm NIST or DIN Pt and any linear RTD (10 ohm Cu, etc.). A choice of 2-, 3- and 4-wire RTD connections ensures the absolute highest degree of accuracy.

Process Voltage and Current
The NEWPORT® INF-B measures process voltage: 0-100 mV, 0-1 V, 0-10 V, 0-100 V (unipolar), ±50 mV, ±500 mV, ±5 V, ±50 V (bipolar) ranges, and process current: 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA.

Strain Gauge
The INF-B measure inputs from Load Cells, Pressure Transducers, and most any strain gauge sensor. Input can be linearized over 10 pts on ranges. 0-100 mV, 0-1 V, 0-10 V, 0-100 V (unipolar), ±50 mV, ±500 mV, ±5 V, ±50 V (bipolar), in addition to 0-20mA. Excitation for transducers of 10 Volt and 24 Volt is standard.

The INF-B displays feature unique 9-segment LED characters, which greatly improves alphanumeric representations. The 7-segment LED characters found on most instruments are adequate for presenting numbers, but not letters. Words are easier to read with the unique 9-segment LED characters on the INF-B, which makes operating and programming simpler and easier.

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

Free ActiveX Controls
Free ActiveX Controls are provided for the INF-B, making it easy to integrate the INF-B 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, iconics, and Wonderware among others.

Free Factory Setup and Configuration
Make installing your INF-B 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 "FS" and configuration option requires the serial communication "-C24" option or Ethernet "-EI" option.
