DC Power Transmitter (Low Voltage)

The device uses the voltage being monitored to power itself. The current input can be self-contained up to 15 A DC or higher using an external current shunt.The current input can be bi-polar for charging and discharging applications.

The DC Power Transmitter (DCPT) has multi-way galvanic isolation (1000 VAC) between the voltage input, the current input, the output and the communications. The output can be analogue - current 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA or voltage 0-10 V, 0-5 V, ±10 V. Digital or pulse outputs can be provided with an opto-isolated transistor output up to 1 kHz or a relay for a pulse output. The digital output can also be
configured as Power Trip/Alarm.

The facility for galvanically isolated serial communications has been included for configuration and for remote access to all the measurements and internal settings.

Serial communications option to access Input Voltage, Input Current and Output Power using simple ASCII communications.
