SIGNAL CONVERTER 

I4P

Signal converter for process and temperature signals, isolated, industrial applications

Isolated signal converter for process and temperature signals. Accepts a wide range of process signals including 4/20 mA, 0/10 Vdc, potentiometers 

and resistance measurements, providing excitation voltage to power the transducer when needed. Accepts a wide range of temperature signals, 

including Pt100, Pt500, Pt1000, thermocouples J, K, N, E, T, R, S, C and B, NTC sensors from 44004 to 44008 and from 44030 to 44034, and a 

configurable NTC range with configurable R

25

 and ß parameters.

Configurable output in 4/20 mA (active or passive) or 0/10 Vdc. Universal power supply from 18 to 265 Vac/dc. 3 way isolation between input, output 

and power circuits. Circuit isolation prevents ground loops and transient propagation, protecting remote equipment and signal integrity. 

Predefined configuration codes available for fast and easy configuration. 

Advanced configuration menu available to customize input and output 

signal  ranges  to  specific  values  required.  Configuration  through 

front  push-button  keypad.  Front  information  displays  available  for 

configuration and system information (input signal value, output signal 

value, configured label, signal percentage and process value). 
Built-in  ‘

force

’  functions  to  manually  generate  low  and  high  output 

signals,  to  validate  remote  instrumentation  during  installation.  ‘

SOS

’ 

mode to help on critical maintenance and repairs. Configurable power 

frequency  rejection  filter.  ‘

Password

’  function  to  block  non-authorized 

access to ‘

configuration menu

’.

Designed for industrial use, with potential integration into a wide range of 

applications, reduced cost, excellent quality and available customization.
