    Overview

    This signal isolator 4‑20mA accepts 4‑20mA DC current with 75Ω input impedance. It outputs passive 4‑20mA, active 0‑20mA, 0‑10V, or others. Available in 1‑in‑1‑out, 1‑in‑2‑out, or 2‑in‑2‑out, consuming 1.3W or 1.8W. As an analog isolator, it delivers ±0.1% accuracy, ≤2ms response, and 40ppm/°C drift. This atex isolator and explosion proof isolator features [Ex ia Ga] II C certification, 2500VAC isolation (intrinsic/non‑intrinsic), distribution voltage ≥16V @20mA, and IEC 61326‑3‑1 compliance. This galvanic isolator 4‑20mA operates on DC 18‑32V and is ideal for hazardous area signal isolation.

    Feature

    • Explosion-proof approval: ATEX [Ex ia Ga] IIC allows direct Zone 0 installation for hydrogen/acetylene without heavy enclosures.
    • Dielectric strength: 2500 V AC between IS and non-IS sides exceeds 1500 V AC for dual safety barrier.
    • Response time: ≤2 ms delivers ultra-fast analog transmission for emergency shutdown and fast control loops.
    • Distribution voltage: ≥16 V at 20 mA (open ≤26 V) powers IS transmitters directly, eliminating zener barriers.
    • Accuracy & drift: 40 ppm/°C with ±0.1% FS (25°C) maintains precision across ambient changes, reducing maintenance.
    • Output & power: passive/active current and DC voltage outputs, 1.3W/1.8W, match PLC inputs while minimizing heat.

    FAQ

    A: This is the highest level of intrinsic safety certification for explosive atmospheres:

    Ex ia – Intrinsic safety "ia" protection level (two independent faults allowed, still safe)
    Ga – Equipment protection level for Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 (gas environments)
    II C – Suitable for the most explosive gas groups, including hydrogen (H₂) and acetylene (C₂H₂)

    You can install this isolator in Zone 0, Zone 1, or Zone 2 hazardous areas where explosive gas mixtures may be present continuously or occasionally.

    A: Yes – much safer. Dielectric strength is:

    ≥2500VAC between intrinsically safe side and non‑intrinsically safe side
    ≥1500VAC between power supply and non‑intrinsically safe side

    Standard isolators typically offer 1500VAC across all ports – this unit provides an extra level of protection specifically designed for hazardous area applications. Insulation resistance is ≥100MΩ between all ports.

    A: Yes – complies with IEC 61326‑3‑1 – the industrial EMC standard specifically for safety‑related systems. It has passed rigorous testing for both emissions and immunity, so it won't interfere with nearby instruments and is highly resistant to common industrial electrical noise – including surges, ESD, and RF interference.
