Detectors with 4-20mA output
Detectors with 4-20mA analog output are connected to the unit via remote 8-input modules
STG/IN8-S. The modules are connected on the panel's bus to be field mounted far from the
control panel.
A 4-20mA transmitter requires a 3-core wire for connections: 2 wires for power supply (usually
12 to 28 Vdc but refer to the gas detector technical manual) and one wire for the 4-20mA signal.
A 3x0.75mm
2
shielded wire is recommended since it can cover a 100 m distance between the
gas detector and STG/IN8-S input module.

The following diagram explains connections between a 4-20mA gas detector and a STG/IN8-S
input module. When starting the system, make sure minimum 12Vdc
voltage reaches each gas
detector.
