Isolated Analog Signal Converter Pt 100
Isolated Analog Signal Converter Pt 100 AC-PT100-420
The AC-PT100-420 (VW-ST-TR1P1) is an industrial DIN-rail temperature transmitter engineered to convert Pt100 RTD sensor inputs into an isolated standard analog signal (4–20mA, 0–20mA, or 0–10V DC). Built with advanced 3-way galvanic isolation (1,500V AC between input, output, and power supply), it effectively eliminates ground loops, suppresses common-mode electrical noise, and protects downstream PLCs, DCS controllers, and SCADA data acquisition hardware in electrically harsh plant environments. It supports both 2-wire and 3-wire RTD configurations with automatic lead resistance compensation, customizable temperature ranges across -200 °C to +850 °C, and high Class 0.2% measurement accuracy.
