The DAT512 is a dual-channel, passive loop-powered current isolator designed for 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA analog signals. Each channel operates completely independently, allowing two separate current loops to be isolated and transmitted without requiring an external power supply. This makes the DAT512 an efficient and cost-effective solution for industrial signal isolation.
Designed specifically for isolating analog signals between field equipment and control room systems, the DAT512 is commonly used to isolate instruments such as flow meters, pressure transmitters, pH sensors, or other 4–20 mA devices from PLCs, panel indicators, DCS systems, and other receiving equipment. It ensures reliable signal transmission while eliminating ground loops and minimizing electromagnetic interference.
By supporting two isolated channels in a single compact unit, the DAT512 helps save valuable space on DIN rails and reduces wiring and installation costs. It draws power directly from each 4–20 mA loop, requiring no auxiliary power supply.
The DAT512 complies with EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and is housed in a durable 22.5 mm plastic enclosure suitable for DIN rail mounting (EN-50022 and EN-50035 standards), making it ideal for use in compact or high-density control panels.
