Unique Low Cost Solution
The SC20ALMDC is a 4-20mA direct current
loop powered trip amplifier. The device
derives its power from the input signal and
therefore requires no external power supply.
The output of the SC20ALMDC is a single
pole, normally open, solid state relay which
can be configured to close either above or
below the adjustable setpoint. The
switched output can be connected to any
potential within 1kV of the transmitter
supply, while transients of 2.5kV can be
withstood.
The relay is designed to switch AC or DC.
The trip amplifier is typically used to
activate a warning or control system
override when a sensor output goes above
or below a pre-set limit. Alternatively, the
unit can be used for simple on/off control,
having a built in switching hysteresis.
The device is housed in an ultra-compact
DIN rail mounted enclosure, only 18mm
wide.
