1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Model 10A61-2 accepts one or two independent current signals within the ISA
standard range of 4-20 mA. Both unipolar and bipolar (“zero-center”) inputs are
allowed. Since the 10A61-2 does not provide excitation, the current source must sup-
ply its own power supply, if required.
Chopper-stabilized amplification with active low-pass filtering yields excellent voltage
compliance and make the 10A61-2 suitable for virtually any standard Process Industry
current input.
ADDITIONAL 10A61-2 SPECIFICATIONS
Input Current
: 4 to 20 mA (unipolar) or 4 to 12 to 20 mA (bipolar or “zero-center”);
automatically selected—on an individual channel basis—when the channel is config-
ured; for the System 10 channel “type” codes assigned to 10A61-2 data channels,
see Table 1, below

* Initial (uncalibrated) inaccuracy may be as great as ±0.05% of full scale. Maximum error that
could occur upon replacement of a Model 10A61-2 not followed by calibration is ±0.1% of full
scale.
