Cost-effective transducers

February 2003 Sensors & Transducers

Timecount now holds a range of transducers that offer all the state-of-the-art features and quality of manufacture, with good value for money.

The RishDucers are manufactured by the largest producer and exporter in India, Rishabh Instruments, which namebrands for several top European companies. The manufacturing facility is certified to full operational requirements of ISO 9001. The range includes current and voltage transducers with or without true RMS, power, frequency, power factor and multitransducer types, which can replace up to 4 conventional transducers saving on wiring and panel space.

These compact 4 to 20 mA, two or four-wire products are DIN rail or surface mount, suitable for solid wire or multistrand connection. Accuracies conform to class 0,2 or 0,5 as per IEC 688. Features include output short circuit and open circuit proof, electrical isolation between all transducer connections, insulation rated at 4 kV and able to withstand an impulse voltage of 5 kV.

The multifunction units are available in four types: four analog outputs and two digital outputs; two analog outputs and four digital; four analog outputs and RS485 (Modbus) interface or Lon interface. Digital outputs can be configured as limit mounting for controlling applications or as pulse outputs for energy measurement. Outputs can be simulated for test purposes and are available in different characteristics, ie, linear, live zero or exponential.
