Passive Isolator DH 18

Separation of 0(4) to 20 mA Standard Signals

The input loop-powered isolator DH 18 is used for the electrical isolation of 0(4) to 20 mA standard signals.

  • 1- and 2-channel versions
    Economical separation for standard applications
  • Only 60 mm installation depth, 11.2 mm wide
    Can be installed in economical standard terminal boxes
  • Galvanic isolation across input and output
    Protection against erroneous measurements due to parasitic voltages or ground loops
  • High reliability and long-term stability
    New APT technology for signal processing
  • Protective Separation acc. to EN 61140
    Protects service personnel and downstream devices against impermissibly high voltage
  • No power supply required
    Saving costs since wiring is reduced and line influences are omitted
  • 5 Years Warranty
    Defects occurring within 5 years from delivery date shall be remedied free of charge at our plant (carriage and insurance paid by sender)

The DH 18 transfers the measuring signal to the output with a high degree of accuracy and avoids interference voltage carry-over and suppressing interferences effectively. The slim housing with 11.2 mm wide for one or two channels saves significant space on the DIN-rail.

Intelligent design and their consequential avoidance of highly integrated components result in extremely long service lives and reliability without any falsification of the measurement signal.

To protect both maintenance personnel as well as downstream equipment against impermissibly high voltages, the DH 18 offers Protective Separation in according to EN 61140.

The DH 18 requires no additional power supply since the auxiliary power is obtained from the input signal without distorting it. This not only saves costs during installation, but also increases reliability.
