  • Page 6: General Description

    1.3 General Description The transmitter is normally powered by an unregulated power supply as shown in Figure 1-1. The proportionally-transmitted signal begins at 4mA, at the low end of its temperature range, and increases to 20mA, at the high end of its temperature range. (There are various temperature ranges available for the transmitter.
