Description
The 20ALM is a 4-20mA loop powered trip amplifier. The device derives its power from the input signal and therefore requires no external power supply. The output of the 20ALM is a single pole, normally open, solid state relay which can be configured to close either above or below the adjustable setpoint. The switched output can be connected to any potential within 1kV of the transmitter supply, while transients of 2.5kV can be withstood. The relay is designed to switch AC or DC. The trip amplifier is typically used to activate a warning or control system override when a sensor output goes above or below a pre-set limit. Alternatively, the unit can be used for simple on / off control, having a built in switching hysteresis. The device is housed in an ultra-compact DIN-Rail mounted enclosure, only 18mm wide.

2.5kV for 50µS Transient of 10kV / µS Setpoint is adjusted by 20 turn potentiometers on the front panel. Setpoint can be checked by measuring the 0.4 to 2V (4 to 20mA) voltage on the front panel terminals. High or low alarm is selectable using internal link. Closed output contact is indicated by a red LED on the front panel.
