For Milliamp Output
The Ultima Gas Monitor may be connected to any device
capable of accepting 4 to 20 mA analog signals such as the:
• Model 5000 unit (with 4 to 20 mA inputs)
• MSA Quad Gas unit
• Programmable controllers
• DCS’s, etc.
Table 1-1. Cable Length and Wire Size,
Toxic Gas or Oxygen Sensor, Frequency Signal Output
In all installations twisted, three-conductor instrument quality cable is required.
In applications where interferences from RFI or EMI or other noise sources exist,
shielded cable is recommended.
