Description:

The Current Converter accepts a 24VDC power supply (nominal) and a 4-20mA input signal converting it to a current output. A voltage to current converter model provides conversion from +/-5VDC or +/-10VDC to a bipolar current output. Outputs can include: 0-50 mA, 0-100 mA, 0-200 mA and several user selectable output ranges from +/-10 mA to +/-310 mA (in 10 mA steps). Span and zero are user adjustable. Diagnostic LEDs indicate operational status. The load should be floating, isolated from ground. The unit is either encapsulated or conformal coated. It is packaged in a DIN rail mount housing. OEM versions are available.

Application:

  • mobile equipment
  • industrial hydraulics
