3. Brief description

The signal isolator SINEAX TI 816 serves to electrically insulate 

an

 analogue DC

signal in the range 0...20 mA which depending on version is then converted to a
current or voltage signal (0...20 mA or 0...10 V). It does 

not

 require a separate power

supply.

Safety precautions to be
strictly observed are marked
with following symbols in the
operating instructions:

The instrument fulfils all the important requirements and regulations concerning
electromagnetic compatibility 

EMC 

and 

Safety 

(IEC 1010 resp. EN 61 010). It was

developed and is manufactured and tested in strict accordance with the 

quality

assurance standard

 ISO 9001.

4. Versions

There are two versions of the DC signal isolator SINEAX TI 816 available.
