Series 5000 Transmitter 
General 
The General Purpose loop 
powered universal transmitter measures the 
sensor output current, conditions it, and converts it to a 4 – 20 mA 
current output.  The Freedom™ 5000 requires a minimum of 3mA to 
operate and thus this is the lowest output the transmitter can output.  The 
only exception is a failure which could cause it to go to 0mA. 
This output is proportional to the toxic gas monitored in PPM, PPB, or 
%v/v (percent by volume) for the type and range of a specific GasPlus 
sensor. 
Please note that ±3% of full scale is “clipped” to 4mA/zero reading. 
This is done to eliminate low level “flicker”. 
The sensor type and range is automatically recognized and displayed 
when the instrument is powered up. 
The 4 – 20 mA loop can be customer wired to any current input device  
(e.g. Alarm, PLC, DCS systems etc.). 
Specific 
The Freedom™ 5000 unique electron
ic circuitry design provides a high 
degree of RFI immunity. 
See Figure 3 for enclosure dimensions. 
A LCD is provided for the toxic gas concentration and the units of 
measure; PPM, PPB, or %. Also furnished are self – diagnostic alarms
