Description
Laureate 4-20 mA output,
AC RMS input
transmitters provide six voltage
ranges and four current ranges, all factory calibrated and jumper
selectable. The 200.00 mV and 2.0000 V ranges provide a high input
impedance of 22 Mohm to minimize the load on the voltage signal. A special 5.000A
range accepts the output of 5A current transformers, with no need for a stepdown 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.

Laureate AC RMS input transmitters
duplicate the performance and programmable features
of their Laureate AC RMS digital panel meter counterparts. Features include optional dual solid state relays for local alarm or control. The
transmitters are housed in a DIN rail case that is only 22.5 mm (0.89")
thick. Signal connections are via detachable screw-clamp plugs.
In addition to the 4-20 mA
output that would typically be used for signal transmission in an
industrial environment, a 0-10V analog output is selectable. Either
selection provides 12-bit (0.025%) resolution of output span and is
ultra-linear to within one bit. The output tracks the reading that would be transmitted digitally. For
AC RMS signals, output accuracy is ±0.1% of full scale input.
Output isolation from signal and power grounds
is provided by a separate on-board transmitter power supply, thereby
eliminating potential problems caused by ground loops. The supply can an
drive 20 mA into a 500 ohm (or lower) load for 10V compliance, or 10V
into 5K ohm (or higher) load for 2 mA compliance.
Transmitter programming is via
a three-terminal RS-232 port using Laurel's PC-based
Instrument Setup Software.
This software can be downloaded from this website at no charge. The required transmitter-to-PC interface cable is available from
Laurel (P/N CBL03).
