Product short description:
  • DC current and low voltage input
  • 4-20mA outputs (sink/source)
  • 7-32V DC loop power

The SP236 model is a high-performance signal splitter that converts one DC current or millivolt input into two isolated proportional 4-20mA control signals. Power is received from one or both output loop currents.

SP236: Two-Wire Current / mV Input Signal Splitter Description

The SP236 model is a high-performance signal splitter that converts one DC current or millivolt input into two isolated proportional 4-20mA control signals. Power is received from one or both output loop currents.

Setup is fast and easy with a USB connection to your PC and our Windows software. Acromag’s Agility™ mobile app enables configuration on an Android smart phone or tablet.

Software simplifies I/O range scaling, calibration, and advanced signal processing capabilities.

High-voltage isolation separates the input from each output circuit. The isolation protects from surges, reduces noise, and eliminates ground loop errors.

These rugged instruments withstand harsh industrial environments to operate reliably across a wide temperature range with very low drift. They feature high immunity to RFI, EMI, ESD, and EFT, plus low radiated emissions.

IMPORTANT: To prevent ground loop error between a grounded PC and a grounded input signal, Acromag strongly recommends use of a USB isolator like Acromag’s USB-Isolator when configuring a SP230 Series transmitter.

How to Re-transmit and Isolate 4-20mA Signals from Remotely-Mounted 3-Wire Gas Detection Sensors - 8400957
Defining the Problem: Signals from 3-wire remote sensors that monitor combustible and toxic gases are typically transmitted directly to the remote gas monitor or controller. However, in some cases, it’s desirable to send the signal to more than one destination. This can either be accomplished by re-transmitting the existing signal to additional locations; or by...
