RIA251

Function and system design

Measurement principle The RIA251 process display is connected directly into the 4 to 20 mA measurement loop, with the required source power drawn from the current loop. The voltage drop of < 2 V has no significant influence on the measurement circuit. Setup of the measurement range, decimal point and offset is done using the 3 front mounted push buttons. Setup can be accomplished while the RIA251 is in operation. The unit is available with hazardous area approvals (FM, CSA, and ATEX; refer to ordering information), allowing the user to mount the display in the hazardous location. (External barrier is still required, depending on environment, location, and/ or regulatory requirements).

Application Example
