The PDA6420 Current Transducer Device (CTD) converts the current flowing through a cable or wire to a 4-20 mA signal and can be set up in the field to handle inputs of 30, 60, or 120 Amps. This nonintrusive device features split core convenience for easy installation and is a cost-effective solution for monitoring load or proof of operation. The current transducer is ideal for monitoring current loads on pumps, driving fans and blowers, and sensing the status of heating coils and lighting. Current Transducer Devices used for load trending over time are effective sensors for predictive maintenance programs. The PDA6420 requires 24 VDC power and this power can be provided by many Precision Digital meters or by the Precision Digital PDA1024-01 24 VDC power supply.
IMPORTANT:Ā The CTD Current Transducer Device is intended to provide an input to equipment under normal operating conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the current transducer device could lead to personal injury or property damage to the controlled equipment or other property, additional precautions must be designed into the control system. Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit controls, intended to warn or protect against failure or malfunction of the current transducer device.
