Pressure To Current Converter v4 PIC246

DESCRIPTION
The PIC246 is a loop-powered transmitter for use in applications that require
electronic pressure monitoring. Both differential pressure and gauge pressure
versions are available. The PIC246 offers an economical solution combining
compactness with accuracy and flexibility. Standard output is 4 - 20mA with a
minimum supply voltage of 7V. This enables the PIC246 to be used in 12V battery
supply systems or in automotive applications. Other factory set output configurations
are 10 - 50mA loop powered and 0 - 10mA, 0 - 20mA or voltage output in 3-wire
connection. Reference for 3-wire connection is the negative supply. The heart of the
unit is a piezo resistive silicon pressure transducer, providing high accuracy, long life
and total adjust-ability. Double surge protection is standard with all Series 200 loop
powered transmitters to prevent failure due to spikes induced by DC switched
inductive loads. Final calibration is trimmed using the front accessible zero and span
15-turn trim adjustments. A front mounted LED and a test socket verify module
function and assist in calibration checks without disconnection of output wires.

Front Control Explanation


1. Test socket. Output signal access with
reference to terminal (1) loop integrity is
maintained when digital multi meter
Rin <30Ω is used.
