Working Principle:
The SDV541 connects in series with the 4–20mA HART loop. It uses a precision shunt resistor to measure loop current and a high-impedance input to measure voltage. HART communication is achieved via FSK modulation at 1200/2200 bps superimposed on the 4–20mA signal. The PRP function uses dual Ethernet ports to send/receive frames simultaneously over two independent network paths per IEC 62439-3, ensuring zero-time redundancy switching.

Applicable Industries:
Oil & Gas, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power, Water & Wastewater, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage
Installation Requirements:
- Connect in series with the 4–20mA loop (break the loop and insert the device)
- For PRP testing: connect two Ethernet cables to separate network switches
- Use HART modem or direct connection to DCS/PLC HART port
- Battery: install 4 × AA alkaline batteries (do not mix battery types)
Usage Precautions:
- Do not apply more than 50V DC across the mA/V input terminals
- When simulating mA, ensure the loop is open or high-impedance at the receiver end
- For PRP testing, both network paths must be active and properly configured before testing
- Do not expose the device to temperatures above +50°C
- Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears
- Calibrate annually using Yokogawa CL series calibrator or equivalent

Working Principle:
The PH202G-E uses a high-precision DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) to generate voltage and current outputs. For measurement, a 24-bit A/D converter digitizes the input signal. Thermocouple and RTD measurements use precision cold junction compensation and stored polynomial linearization tables. The microcontroller processes all signals and displays results on the color LCD. Loop power is supplied via an internal DC-DC converter from the battery or AC adapter.
Advantages & Highlights:
- All-in-one calibrator replaces separate mA, V, Ω, TC, and RTD calibrators
- Dual-function (source + measure) reduces calibration time by 50%
- 24V loop power enables in-situ transmitter calibration without external supply

- Accuracy meets ±0.015% standard, suitable for calibration laboratory and field use
Applicable Industries:
Oil & Gas, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power Generation, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage, Water & Wastewater, Manufacturing
Installation Requirements:
- No installation required; handheld portable device
- Connect test leads to device under test (DUT) using banana plug or spade lug connections
- For TC/RTD: use correct thermocouple extension wire or RTD lead wire
- Charge battery fully before field use: 8 hours charging time via included adapter
Usage Precautions:
- Do not exceed 100V DC or 100mA on any output terminal
- When sourcing current, ensure the load resistance does not exceed the compliance voltage limit
- Do not short-circuit the voltage output terminals
- For TC measurements, ensure cold junction temperature is stable; avoid drafts
- Store in dry environment; do not expose to rain (IP54 is splash-proof, not submersion-proof)
