4-20mA Sensors
Theory of Operation
Industry standard 4-20mA sensors can be used with the EA800. However, it is important to verify that this type of
sensor will operate properly over the entire output range.
Figure 6 shows an example of the loop circuit for a 4-20mA sensor whose minimum operating voltage is 8V or less
when connected to an EA800 base unit that is powered with 12VDC.

Figure 7 shows an example of the loop circuit for a 4-20mA sensor whose minimum operating voltage is greater
than 8V when connected to an EA800 base unit that is powered with 12VDC.
