Note:
Model 217 can be wired as a 3-wire device by connecting
– OUTPUT and –EXCITATION and drain wire to a common ground. However, accuracy may be reduced due
to increase in resistance.
3.2 Current Output Units
The Model 217 is a two-wire loop-powered 4 to 20mA current output unit and
delivers rated current into any external load of 0-800 ohms. The Model 217 is
available with 6ft. of multiconductor cable, Bayonet style connector, Mini Din
or D-Sub style connectors. Diagram 3 shows electrical connection wiring
for current output transducers.
The power supply must be a DC voltage source with a voltage range between
10 VDC and 30 VDC measured between the + and - terminals. The unit is
calibrated at the factory with a 24 VDC loop supply voltage and a 250 ohm load.
Current must flow in one direction only - Please observe polarity. (See
Diagram 4.) We suggest that the cable shield Drain Wire be connected to the

3.0 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
3.1 Voltage Output Units
The Model 217 voltage output transducer is supplied with a 6ft. multiconductor cable, Bayonet style connector,
Mini Din connector or D-Sub style connectors. The voltage output is either 5 VDC FSO or 10 VDC FSO.
Diagram 2 shows electrical connection wiring for voltage output transducers, and the excitation required.
