FT5040: DC 4-20mA Input w/ Loop Excitation

  • NEMA 4X Splash Proof Enclosure

  • Optional 3 1/2 Digit Display

  • Provides 24Vdc Power to Input Loop

  • 4/20mA Input Standard - Others Available

  • Input/Output Isolated

  • Urethane-Coated Circuit Boards

  • AC or DC Power Options

The Model FT5040 DIN-Rail Transmitter provides an isolated DC voltage or current output proportional to a 4/20mAdc input. Designed to isolate and convert signals from 2-wire (loop-powered) transmitters, it includes a regulated 24Vdc input loop supply.

A rugged NEMA 4X splash proof, corrosion-resistant housing protects the transmitter in outdoor and industrial environments. The circuit boards are urethane coated for protection against condensation and contaminants. Model FDT5040 includes a 3-1/2 digit user-rangeable display to provide local process indication in engineering units.

Other input ranges are possible. For example, the FT/FDT5040 may be used with DC-powered "3-wire" sensors and transmitters whose supply currents do not exceed 25mA. Input/output isolation overcomes the ground loop problems sometimes encountered with non-isolated DC-powered transmitters.

Available options include AC and DC power choices and reverse-acting transmitter (decreasing output with increasing input).
 
ORDERING INFORMATION

Model Numbers:   FT5040: Transmitter only. FDT5040: Transmitter with display.
Input Range:   Select 4/20mA for use with 2-wire inputs, or any other range allowed by the "Input Capabilities" spec, below.
Output Range:  

Specify any DC voltage or current range allowed by the "Output Capabilities" spec, below.

Display Range:
(optional)
Specify display reading at low end and at full scale, including decimal point if required. See "Display Capabilities" specification, below. Note that reverse-acting display is possible - full scale reading downscale from low end. Display may be re-ranged by user.
Power:  

Add suffix A (Model FT/FDT5040A) for AC power, D for DC power. Specify 115Vac, 230Vac, 12Vdc or 24Vdc.

Reverse-Acting Transmitter  
(decreasing output with increasing input): 

Change last digit of the model number to 1 (for example, JH5041A).

Loop-Powered Output

4/20mA "current sink" output stage for connection to devices whose inputs provide 24Vdc loop excitation. Change the last digit of the model number to 2 (for example, JH5042A).

Conduit Connections:  

Standard: A single 1/2 inch NPT conduit fitting (glass-fiber reinforced nylon) is provided at the bottom of the housing. Other options are possible, including no fitting at all. Contact Us

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Connections are made to 8 terminals within the enclosure:
 
    1: 
Input plus.
    2: 
Input minus.
    3: 
No connection.
    4: 
No connection.
    5: 
Output plus.
    6: 
Output minus.
    7: 
Power (AC or, if DC power option, DC plus).
    8: 
Power (AC or, if DC power option, DC minus).

Display Capabilities:
(optional)
Low end and full scale readings may be anywhere between -1999 and +1999 counts. A fixed decimal point may be added in any position. Minimum span (full scale minus low end) is 10 counts. Reverse-acting display is possible (full scale reading downscale from low end). Display may be re-ranged by user.
