Solid Core Current Transducer SENTRY 200-1

Q1: What are some advantages and/or benefits of using the SENTRY 200-1?
A: The SENTRY 200-1 AC current transducer 4 20ma has many advantages such as:
• The simple and cost-effective solid core design is rugged and offers value
• It uses the common 4 to 20 mA loop signal
• The AC current transducer 0…50 amp sensing range can be used in most industrial environments

Q2: How does the SENTRY 200-1 facilitate easy integration into existing AC current circuits?
A: The SENTRY 200-1 is of solid core design. Installation within an existing AC current circuit is made easy; simply thread the process wire through the aperture of the transducer. Furthermore, wiring the AC current transducer 4 20ma loop requires only affixing the two wires of the loop to the terminals on the unit. A split-core version (SC 200-1) is available of this model removing the need to disconnect any existing wiring.

Q3: What are the benefits of the 4-20mA output feature in the SENTRY 200-1?
A: The SENTRY 200-1 uses the versatile 4 to 20 mA automation standard. This AC current transducer 4 20ma output allows for precise process control measurement without any loss of accuracy, even at transfer distances many hundreds of meters long. Also, the 4 to 20 mA signal is resistant to interference or noise, which can be common in an industrial location.

Q4: How does the SENTRY 200-1 enhance precision in AC current measurement with its 4-20ma output?
A: The SENTRY 200-1 utilizes the very common 4 to 20 mA automation standard. This AC current transducer 4 20ma output allows for precise process control measurement because there is no loss of accuracy over the transmission distance. The resiliency against interference, or noise, is also important to ensure an accurate signal.
