C-HCL-A

CURRENT LOOP CHECKER

Functions & Features
• Used to perform a loop test during a maintenance, inspection or testing of an instrumentation system or plant
• Generates simulated signals at the receiver side in place of an on-site transmittter
• Compact and light weight to fit into a pocket
• Provides 4, 12, and 20 mA switchable as required
• Selectable between 2-wire and 4-wire systems

MODEL: C-HCL-A

ORDERING INFORMATION

• Code number: C-HCL-A

NOTICE

The C-HCL-A realizes stable constant current outputs; however, it is not suitable for adjustment and calibration of measuring instruments or precision instruments. Select appropriate instruments for adjustment and calibration according to rquirements.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Connection: 2 mm (0.08") diameter test plugs
Housing material: ABS resin
Mode switch: Switchable between 2-wire loop mode and 4-wire mode
The 2-wire loop mode controls current signals supplied from the power source such as a current loop supply, to perform a loop test (sink capability), whereas in the 4-wire mode, constant current is supplied to the transmitter
(source capability).
Output range: 0 – 24 mA DC
Output monitoring: Directly measure output current
Monitor jack: 2 mm (0.08") diameter
Power LED: Red LED turns on when the power is supplied.
Continuous operating hours: Approx. seven hours with load resistance 750 Ω, output 12 mA, and when three new alkaline AA cells are used.
Usage: Stand ot strap holder
