The DT4261 … current meter measures and displays the AC current in the range 0–5 AAC / 0–10 AAC / 0–25 AAC / 0–50 AAC / 0–75 AAC * connected to its input. The measuring range can be expanded as desired with an external current transformer with a ratio of x/5.
The displayed value is proportional to the true effective value (TRMS) of the input signal. The device displays the measured value on a 4-digit, 14.2 mm high LED display that is easy to read even from a long distance.
An analog output with a signal level of 0–20 mA / 4–20 mA can be ordered as an option, which is galvanically isolated from the device input and power supply. The type of output signal (0–20 mA / 4–20 mA) can be selected using a front-panel pushbutton, and the output end value (20 mA) can be assigned to any input current value. The output can be active or passive, depending on the order.
The device is available with two types of power supply:
