PR Electronics 4179 – Universal AC / DC Transmitter

Application

  • The 0 to 5 AAC RMS range enables precise measurement of typical current transformer outputs.
  • The 0 to 300 VAC RMS range ensures accurate monitoring of supply voltages.
  • PR Electronics 4179 supports standard input ranges and can be customized to customer-specified input ranges.
  • Converts narrow AC current/voltage inputs to broader bipolar or unipolar outputs (e.g., 0 to 1 VAMS input = ±10 volts or 4 to 20 mA output), with a minimum span of 0.5 AAC RMS or 0.5 VAC RMS.
  • Detachable 45xx displays provide enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
  • Configurable input limits ensure safe output values.
  • Designed to stringent safety standards, suitable for SIL 2 installations.

Technical Characteristics

  • Incorporates latest analog and digital technologies for maximum accuracy and immunity to interference.
  • Supports safety feedback via selectable S4 to 20 mA output.
  • Current output can drive up to 800 Ohms, with adjustable response time from 0.0 to 60.0 seconds.
  • Exceptional stability of <0.001% of span / 100 Ohms for mA output loads.
  • Complies with NAMUR NE21 recommendations for accuracy in challenging EMC environments.
  • Meets NAMUR NE43 recommendations for easy detection of input errors by control systems.
  • Tested to 2.3 kVAC, 3-port galvanic isolation level.
  • Offers a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 60 dB.
  • Suitable for use in systems up to Performance Level “d” per ISO-13849.

Mounting / Installation / Programming

  • Low power consumption allows for side-by-side mounting without an air gap, even at 60°C ambient temperature.
  • Configuration, monitoring, 2-point process calibration, and other functions are managed using PR’s 45xx detachable displays.
