Red Lion AIMI Data Sheet
MODEL AIMI - 0 (4) TO 20 MA PASSIVE LOOP POWERED ISOLATOR
DESCRIPTION
The AIMI0202 passive isolator is used for the electrical isolation and
processing of analog 0(4) to 20 mA standard current signals. The AIMI0202
provides electrical isolation between the control electronics and process I/O. In
addition, interference signals above 75 Hz are effectively suppressed.
Input and output circuit do not require separate auxiliary power. The
AIMI0202 obtains power from the input signal. The modules are snapped onto
symmetrical DIN rails in accordance with EN 50022.
VOLTAGE DROP AT INPUT
When using the AIMI0202, ensure the voltage supply is sufficient for
handling both the voltage drop of the input and the output load voltage drop. The
AIMI0202 input resistance will create around a 1.7 V drop.
The following formula calculates the total voltage drop (input and output).
Total voltage drop = (1.7 V + (20 mA * RLOAD))
Where:
1.7 V = Input voltage drop
20 mA * RLOAD = Output load voltage drop

WIRING CONNECTIONS
Connect transducer to input (Terminals 1 & 2), observing polarity. A power
supply may be required for loop powered transducers.
The energy for the supply on the input side is taken from the analog input
signal. Due to the dynamic input resistance, a power loss of approximately 1.7 V
drops at the module input. The module’s output is self-powered (active), which
is also derived from the input signal.
