Netbotz 750 4-20ma input sensors wiring

[MattTripp]

Can you provide a wiring example on how to wire a 4-20ma temperature transmitter utilizing the 24v DC output on the Netbotz 750 as the power source feeding the temperature transmitter and the 4-20ma input from the temperature sensor/ transmitter? I assume it would work like the drawings below.

Hello @MattTripp,

This would depend on the specs of the sensor.  If you have the specs/manual of the sensor, someone here may be able to provide assistance.  4-20mA sensor wiring could be 2 wire, 3-wire, or 4 wire.  Usually the manual of the sensor will outline exactly how the electrical connections must be installed and any safety precautions or warnings with the installation/use of the sensor.

The voltage output can also only put out 75 mA of current, which often is not enough for the sensor depending on the 4-20mA sensor requirements.

Kind Regards,

Cory

Thank you for your response Cory. I have uploaded the tech info and install info for a sensor that I am considering. It appears to be 2 wire application and draws 20ma max power. Therefore, I assume it could be wired as previously shown, would you agree?
