Compact convertors isolate and transmit

An Amalgamated Instrument product story

Up to four channels of conversion and isolation capacity are now available in a standard DIN rail mount enclosure.

Up to four channels of conversion and isolation capacity are now available in a standard DIN rail mount enclosure.

Models are available to take input from RTD temperature sensors, three-wire slidewire sensors, AC voltage (up to 250V AC) or AC current (up to 5A AC) and convert them to an isolated 4-20mA output.

Another model takes an analogue DC milliamp current or DC voltage and transmits it as a scalable, isolated 4-20mA output.

The products are designed to be powered by a two-wire 4-20mA loop.

The devices are extremely compact.

Up to four channels can be housed in an enclosure measuring 44 x 91 x 135mm that mounts on a standard DIN rail.

These isolators can be ordered in the capacity required.

An optional dual-output 24V DC power supply is available to "slot into" the case with one- or two-channel models.

The same power supply is available as a stand-alone unit for the three- and four-channel convertors if required.

These power supplies are only required in situations where the processing equipment cannot provide a loop voltage.

Isolation is 2kV between input and output on the AC models and 1kV on the other models.

Signal isolation is achieved using optoisolators.

These isolator/convertor/transmitters offer a compact, economical solution to conversion and retransmission requirements for a host of applications.
