A ANALOG CARD ( 30919 )
The 4-20 mA ANALOG CARD is a Passive Current Loop Device with 16 Bit
High Resolution Output.
4-20mA Specifications 16 bit resolution +/- .01 integral linearity
Current Loop Voltage
Compliance
•
A PASSIVE DEVICE , as the 4-20 Analog Card is, does not supply any
current loop voltage.
•
Customer’s external source must furnish 7 to 40 VDC power (typical
voltage 24 VDC).
•
The negative (-) power of the supply MUST be isolated from chassis
ground
•
See important CAUTION box below.
•
A separate power supply must be furnished for each output.
Full Scale Setting
Time
8 msecs.
Output Impedance 25 Meg Ohms.
Alarm Current
3.5 to 24mA (underload/overload conditions), Offset at 25°C; +/- .1% of full
scale. Offset drift; +/- 25 ppm of full scale per degree Celsius.
Total Output Error (20mA) at 25°C: +/- .2% of full scale max.
Total Output Drift +/- 50 ppm of full scale per degree Celsius max.

Failure to have an
ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY
WILL CAUSE
CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE!
Above is an example of wiring two (2) passive
nodes with an external power supply.
