PA420 Preamplifier
Description The PA420 preamplifier, used with a Spirax Sarco capacitance probe, is a loop powered two wire 4 - 20 mA level transmitter. It amplifies the capacitance measured and converts it to a 4 - 20 mA output proportional to the liquid level. It is compatible with all Spirax Sarco current input controllers/transmitters. The preamplifier consists of a tubular austenitic stainless steel body which screws onto the top of the probe, and has a Type A EN 175301-803 (DIN 43650)/ISO 4400 connector with Pg 11 cable gland. The PA420 has two buttons and a dual coloured light (red and green) for use during commissioning. Principal features: - Compact, rigidly mounted. - Can be removed/replaced without disturbing the probe. - No maintenance needed. - Suitable for all probe lengths (370 - 1 500 mm). Approvals: - TÜV, VdTÜV-Merkblatt, Wasserstand 100 - 2017. - Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU. Caution: The probe is not suitable for outside installation without additional environmental protection.
