Description

The Micron 4-20 mA output, AC RMS input transmitter provides six voltage input ranges and four current input ranges, all factory calibrated and jumper selectable. A special 5.000A range utilizes a built-in 0.01 ohm shunt to accept the output of 5A current transformers, with no need for a step down transformer. The current readings can easily be scaled digitally as needed.

True RMS precision circuitry is used to determine the root-mean-square of complex waveforms from 10 Hz to 10 kHz. Spikes up to 2.4 times the maximum of each range are accurately measured. This provides a crest factor (Vp / Vrms) of 240 for a signal amplitude of 1% of full scale, decreasing to 2.4 at 100% of full scale.

Three analog transmitter settings are jumper selectable: 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA or 0-10V. The output tracks the reading up to 99,999 counts that would be transmitted digitally. For AC RMS signals, this reading has an accuracy of 0.1% of full scale from 1% to 100%, 10 Hz to 10 kHz, and can be calibrated in software. Output isolation from signal and power grounds eliminates potential ground loop problems. The supply can drive 20 mA into a 500 ohm (or lower) load for 10V compliance, or 10V into a 5K ohm (or higher) load for 2 mA compliance.

Standard features of Micron transmitters include:

  • Analog transmitter output, 16-bit, user scalable and isolated. User selectable 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA or 0-10V levels.
  • Serial communications, isolated. User selectable RS232 or RS485, half or full duplex, Modbus or Micron ASCII protocol.
  • Dual solid state relays for control or alarm, isolated. Rated 120 mA at 130 Vac or 170 Vdc.
  • Universal AC power supply for 85-264 Vac.

Easy Transmitter programming is via Micron's Instrument Setup Software, which runs on a PC under MS Windows. This software can be downloaded from this website at no charge. The required transmitter-to-PC interface cable is available from Micron (P/N CBL04).
