Introduction
PS-1020 Analog Transmitters are electronic devices utilizing
solid-state integrated components. They provide the user with
a selectable voltage or current output directly proportional to
the input signal within a specified linearity.
Description
The transmitters are intended for field mounting close to the
vessel site, thereby reducing installation costs. An integral
20-connector terminal strip provides connections for up to
four transducers, thus eliminating the need for a separate
summing junction box.
Two screw type terminal strips provide connections for the
supply voltage, transducer wiring, and analog outputs.
The zero and span adjustments for the analog outputs are
accomplished with two sets of dip-switches and trim pots.
The units also include an adjustable filter which can be used to
stabilize the output. Filtering is used to minimize the effects of
vibration caused by agitators or other devices.
The standard packaging is an ABS plastic DIN-Rail mounted
enclosure.
The transmitters are available with an optional 24 Vdc power
supply enabling the unit to be operated with 115 Vac.
