LOOP-POWERED ISOLATORS - OPERATING MANUAL V1.0x D
INTRODUCTION
The TxIsoLoop-1 and TxIsoLoop-2 are 0(4)-20 mA signal isolators
with one and two channels respectively. They provide signal
protection by electrically isolating the input signal from the output.
The 4-20 mA input is measured and an identical isolated signal is
produced at the output. Its power is obtained from the 0(4)-20 mA
input loop, dropping the need for an external power supply.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
For proper operation, the TxIsoLoop requires some minimum
voltage in the input loop. This voltage can be found in two ways:
1. In type source devices (transmitters, controllers, etc), this voltage
is provided by the device itself.
Fig. 1 – TxIsoLoop typical connections
The minimum operating voltage can be calculated by the equation
below:
V1 = Vin
Where: Vin = Vdrop + ( Iout(máx) x RL )
Iin = Iout
2. In sink type devices (2-wire transmitters) the energy is provided by
an external power supply in series in the loop, as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 – TxIsoLoop used to isolate a 2-wire transmitter
In this arrangement, the power supply must provide enough voltage
such as power both the 2-wire transmitter and the TxIsoLoop.
The minimum voltage required to allow proper operation can be
obtained from the equation below:
V1 = Vb +
Vin
Where: V1= Power supply voltage
Vb= Voltage required by the 2-wire
transmitter
Vin = Vdrop + ( Iout(máx) x RL )
Iin = Iout
