Introduction

The SG-3383 DC current signal splitters accept one 4 to 20 mA current input and provide three optically isolated 4 to 20 mA current outputs that are linearly related to the 4 to 20 mA current input. This provides an economical solution when one signal must be sent to three different devices. Typical applications include isolation, output splitting, output device separation and redundancy (i.e. to prevent failure of the entire loop if one device fails), or a combination of these. The input signal is filtered, amplified, split, and then passed through an opto-coupler to the output stages. Full 3-way isolation (input, output, power) , 4 kV EFT Protection for Power Line and 8 kV ESD Protection make this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection,and noise pickup reduction. The SG-3383 includes an LED display that can be used to indicate whether the module is functioning correctly, and also includes VRs (Zero, Span) that can be used to calibrate the output range accuracy. The input bandwidth of the SG-3383 is typically 2.5 kHz.
