Input Signal
Point-to-Point:
Analog Input Signal: 4 to 20 mA dc, nominal
Minimum Voltage Available at instrument terminals
must be 11.5 Vdc for analog control, 12 Vdc for
HART communication (see instrument instruction
manual for details)
Minimum Control Current: 4.0 mA
Minimum Current w/o Microprocessor Restart: 3.5
mA
Maximum Voltage: 30 volts dc
Overcurrent Protection: Input circuitry limits current
to prevent internal damage (Hardware revisions 4
and 5 only. Instruments with earlier hardware
revisions may be damaged if connected directly to a
voltage source while in point-to-point mode.)
Reverse Polarity Protection: No damage occurs
from reversal of loop current
Multi-drop:
Instrument Power: 12 to 30 volts dc at
approximately 8 mA
Reverse Polarity Protection: No damage occurs
from reversal of loop current

per IEC 801-1 and 801-3, 27 to 1000 MHz with field
strength of 30 V/m (volts per meter)
These instruments have the CE mark in accordance
with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Directive. They meet the requirements of
EN50081-1 (emissions for light industry) and
EN50082-2 (immunity for industrial environment).
