1. Brief description
The RT-2 converts the position angle of a shaft into a load-independent direct current
signal, proportional to the angle position.
2. Technical data
Measuring input 0..90° or 0..140° (span adjustment –30/+5% of full scale)
Measuring output
Output variable I
A
: Load-independent DC current, proportional to the input
angle.
Standard ranges: 4...20mA, 2 wire connection or
0...20mA, 3 or 4-wire connection adjustable with
potentiometer
a) External voltage: (load voltage)

Example:
System consists of 2 DLQ-ph, 1 VTR-3 and 1 TRI-2
voltage drop
DLQ-ph 0.6V x 2 = 1.2V
VTR-3 0.6V x 1 = 0.6V
TRI-2 3.0V x 1 = 3.0V
ΣLoad

= 4.8V
Loop
res
: Cable resistance ≤ 200Ω
I
A
: System wired as 0...20mA.
This means I

= 20mA.
H[V] > 4.8V + 12V + 0.02A x 200Ω
⇓
H[V] > 20.8V DC
