2.3. CURRENT LOOP TRANSMITTER
In ADA-4020A converter has been used active Current Loop transmitter on base power source generating the+/-20mA or 0-20mA.
The transmitter has current limiting short circuit and surge protection on TX+ and TX- lines. Review diagram of the transmitter is
shown on figure below.
2.4. CURRENT LOOP RECEIVER
In the ADA-4020A converter has been used passive RX receiver consisting of optoisolator (optical coupler) and protective elements.
The receiver circuit has RX+, RX- terminals as well as the terminal marked as RX-*. In the circuit with RX-* terminal has been used
additional resistor (1000 ohms or 560 ohms depend on the converter version) to reduce power in the case of connecting the receiver
to transmitter which has NOT short circuit current limit to 20mA.
The RX red LED on front panel of the converter is a signalization of NO current flow through optocoupler. This LED is ON when it is:
- not connect transmitter to receiver,
- wrong connection of transmitter to receiver,
- broken connection of transmitter to receiver.
Review diagram of the receiver is shown on figure below.

2.5. ISOLATION
Converter ADA-4020A has 3-way, 1kV= or 3kV= galvanic isolation (depend on version, described in section VERSIONS).

3. INSTALLATION
This chapter will show how to connect ADA-4020A to computer, RS485 bus, Current Loop line and power supply and how to use it.
To reduce disturbance from environment, it is recommended to:
–
use multipair type shielded cables, which shield can be connected to the earthing on one end of the cable,
–
use the suitable diameter cable for power supply on account of voltage drop,
–
use the powering cable with a suitable section because of the voltage drops,
–
use the interference eliminators for powering the converter,
–
lay signal cables at a distance of not less than 25 cm away from power cables,
–
not powering the converters form the power-circuit of devices generate large impulse disturbance like contactors, relays, inverters.
