4-20mA 2-Wire Output

Loop powered or 2-wire transmitter

Loop powered or 2-wire transmitter

Loop powered or 2-Wire transmitters are connected in series with all instruments driven by the same signal or current loop.

Loop powered transmitters must have a live zero output signal (4mA) as the power to operate the transmitter is taken from the output signal. This is achieved by tolerating a voltage drop of up to 12V across the output of the transmitter.

  • The obvious advantage of loop powered transmitter lies in the reduction of cabling and installation costs.
  • Loop powered transmitters are available with and without Input to output isolation.

4-20mA 4-Wire Output

Separately Powered or 4-wire transmitter

Separately Powered or 4-wire transmitter

Four wire output transmitters have two wires the power the isolator / transmitter and two wires tho connect the output signal. The energy to drive the 4-20mA output signal comes from the separate power wires. Please refer to section dc mA/V 4-Wire Output for further details of 4-Wire transmitters.

 

4-20mA Input Powered

Input Powered Transmitters

The 4-20mA input signal powers the output drive.

Circuit loss is characteristic of input signal powered isolators. Two important factors to remember are;

  • Input drive voltage:
    The sensor or transmitter sending the signal to the isolator must be capable of producing more than 9.5V at 20mA output (480 ohm load maximum).

  • Output load range:
    The output of the isolator cannot drive into a load of greater than 250 ohms.

Because Signal powered isolators require no separate power supply, there is minimal effect on the wiring resulting in the lowest installed cost. As long as the input device has sufficient drive.
