Tips & Tricks

Here you will find instructions on how to set up and operate our products, as well as trouble­shooting tips.

Reuse of the measuring signal

You use the standard signal splitter to split the standard signal into 2 signals. This enables you to direct the measuring signal to different downstream devices without any retroactive effects and without mutual interference.

Example:

  • A measuring transducer delivers the 4 - 20 mA input current
  • Output I is configured for 4 - 20 mA and transmits the measured value to the process control
  • Output II is configured for 0 - 20 mA and controls a regulator

Additional measuring option for process signals

The standard signal splitters from the High Functionality series can be configured as current or voltage outputs on the output side. This makes it possible to create a shunt for measuring the process variable in a 4 - 20 mA current loop using a 0 - 10 V scale. Without breaking the current loop, at output II you can observe the current measured value using a voltage indicator, a chart recorder or a DVM.

Use in customised mechnical engineering

A universal isolation amplifier is especially good to use in customised mechanical engineering with all its individual measuring functions. The many input and output ranges and the universal long-distance power pack make it possible to use just one type of device in numerous applications thanks to many possible signal combinations.

Our DK 8000 special signal isolation amplifier, which can process other unipolar and bipolar input and output signals is available in different versions for isolating and converting customer-specific special signals.
