Yokogawa SC4A-S-PR-NN-0 10-10-T1

Product Category: Universal Analog Signal Converter

Product Overview:
The SC4A-S-PR-NN-0 10-10-T1 is a universal signal converter from Yokogawa’s SC4A product line. It converts various analog process signals into isolated standardized outputs. The configuration code indicates: S = Standard type, PR = Process recording support, NN = No network communication, 0 = Base configuration, 10-10 = Specific range setting, T1 = Terminal block type.

  • Power Supply Voltage24 VDC (±10%)
  • Accuracy: ±0.1% of span
  • Temperature Drift: ±0.005%/°C
  • Insulation: Triple isolation (input / output / power supply)
  • Insulation Resistance: ≥100 MΩ at 500 VDC

  • Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (EN 50022)
  • Width22.5 mm

Functional Features:

  • Universal input/output — accepts and outputs current or voltage signals
  • Triple galvanic isolation — input, output, and power are fully isolated
  • No communication function (standalone operation)
  • Process recording support (PR) — compatible with SCADA recording systems
  • DIP switch configuration for input/output type selection
  • Zero and span adjustment via front-panel potentiometers

Material Composition:

  • HousingFlame-retardant polycarbonate/ABS blend (UL94 V-0)
  • Terminal BlocksPhosphor bronze, tin-plated
  • PCBConformal-coated epoxy glass

Structural Characteristics:

  • Dimensions: 22.5 mm × 90 mm × 112.5 mm (W × H × D)
  • Terminal Type: T1 screw clamp terminals (AWG 22–12)
  • Weight: Approximately 150 g

Working Principle:
The SC4A accepts an analog input signal (current or voltage), conditions it through precision signal conditioning circuitry, and outputs a proportional isolated analog signal. The triple isolation barrier uses transformer/optocoupler technology to ensure complete electrical separation between input, output, and power circuits.

Key Advantages:

  • ±0.1% high accuracy — superior to most competitors
  • Triple isolation eliminates all ground loop issues
  • Universal I/O — one device replaces multiple converter types
  • Front-panel adjustment — zero and span accessible without removing from panel

Applicable Industries:

  • General Industrial Process Control
  • HVAC Systems
  • Building Automation
  • Power Plants
  • Pulp & Paper

Installation Requirements:

  • Install on 35 mm DIN rail (EN 50022)
  • Use shielded cables with shield grounded at one end only
  • Set input/output ranges via DIP switches before commissioning
  • Verify polarity on all connections

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not connect input and output grounds together
  • Maximum ambient temperature is +55°C — do not exceed
  • Do not apply signals exceeding 30 VDC or 25 mA to any terminal
  • Ensure adequate ventilation spacing (10 mm minimum above/below)
