With the WATERLOG® Model H-4161 SDI-12 to 4-20mA interface you can connect any SDI-12 sensor to a PLC, RTU or other device which has a 4-20mA input.
KEY FEATURES
• Precision 16-bit, 4-20mA current transmitter.
• 1000V output isolation from the SDI-12 bus.
• Can monitor the SDI-12 bus for a specified sensor address and data parameter.
• Can initiate measurements to an attached sensor if no data logger is used.
• Programmable Max and Min data set-points for automatic data scaling into 4-20mA units.
• Manual “set” of the 4-20mA output for testing via an extended SDI-12 command.
• Built-in 2-line LCD display shows the current SDI-12 data and milliamp output values.
• Detachable connectors With the WATERLOG® Model H-4161 SDI-12 to 4-20mA interface you can connect any SDI-12 sensor to a PLC, RTU or other device which has a 4-20mA input.
The H-4161 monitors the communication between a data logger and its sensors and captures measurement data from a specified sensor and data parameter. If no data logger is needed, the H-4161 can initiate measurements itself.
