4-Wire Operation

- An external power supply delivering

10-35 VDC with minimum current capability of 40 mA DC
(per transmitter) or 16-26 VAC with minimum current capa-
bility of 80 mA AC (per transmitter) is required. See Fig. E for
connection of power supply, transmitter and receiver. The
range of appropriate load resistance (R

L

) for the DC or AC

power supply available is expressed by the formulas and
graphs in Figs. F and G. Shielded cable is recommended for
control loop wiring. Do not employ a separate ground in 4
wire operation. Unit will not function properly and /or dam-
age could result. Control loop polarity must be observed,
terminal 3 is negative and terminal 4 is positive. Power sup-
ply terminals 1 and 2 are not polarized.

Series 604D Indicating Pressure

Transmitters can be easily adapted for receivers requiring 
1-5 VDC or 2-10 VDC input. Insert a 249 OHM,

watt 

(1-5 VDC) or 499 ohm (2-10 VDC) resistor in series with the
current loop but in parallel with the receiver input. Locate
this resistor as close as possible to the input. Because
resistor accuracy directly influences output signal accuracy,
we recommend use of a precision ±0.1% tolerance resistor
to minimize this effect. See Figs. H and J.
