Product catalog summary
Overview: The DH 18 is a passive isolator designed for the electrical isolation of 0(4) to 20 mA standard signals. It ensures high accuracy in signal transfer while preventing interference and voltage carry-over. The device is compact, with a width of 11.2 mm, suitable for DIN-rail installation.
Key Features:
  • Design: Available in 1- and 2-channel versions, the DH 18 is economical and space-saving.
  • Isolation: Provides galvanic isolation between input and output, protecting against erroneous measurements due to parasitic voltages or ground loops.
  • Reliability: Utilizes APT technology for high reliability and long-term stability.
  • Protective Separation: Complies with EN 61140, safeguarding personnel and equipment from high voltages.
  • No External Power Required: Operates without an additional power supply, reducing installation costs and increasing reliability.
  • Warranty: Offers a 5-year warranty covering defects.
Technical Specifications:
  • Input: 0(4) to 20 mA signal, start-up current < 100 µA, voltage drop < 3.0 V, overload ≤ 50 mA, 15 V.
  • Output: 0(4) to 20 mA signal, load < 600 Ω, cut-off frequency -3 dB at 100 Hz, response time T99 5 ms, residual ripple < 10 mVrms.
  • General Data: Transmission error < 0.1% full scale, load error < 0.05% of measured value per 100 Ω load, temperature coefficient < 0.004%/K, test voltage 3 kV, working voltage 600 V AC/DC.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operating temperature -20 to +60 °C, storage temperature -35 to +85 °C.
  • Construction: 11.2 mm housing, IP 20 protection class, DIN rail mounting.
Connection Details: The device features captive plus-minus clamp screws with a maximum wire cross-section of 2.5 mm² and a stripped length of 6 to 8 mm.
Product Variants: Available as DH 18 P 1-channel and DH 18 P 2-channel models.

Passive Isolator DH 18Separation of 0(4) ... 20 mA Standard SignalsThe input loop-powered isolator DH 18 is used for the electrical isolation of 0(4) ... 20 mA standard signals. The DH 18 transfers the measuring signal to the output with a high degree of accuracy and avoids interference voltage carry-over and suppressing interferences effectively. The slim housing with 1 1.2 mm wide for one or two channels saves significant space on the DIN-rail. Intelligent design and their consequential avoidance of highly integrated components result in extremely long service lives and reliability without any falsification of the measurement signal. To protect both maintenance personnel as well as downstream equipment against impermissibly high voltages, the DH 18 offers Protective Separation in according to EN 61140. The DH 18 requires no additional power supply since the auxiliary power is obtained from the input signal without distorting it. This not only saves costs during installation, but also increases reliability. • 1 - and 2-channel versions Economical separation for standard applications • Only 60 mm installation depth, 11.2 mm wide Can be installed in economical standard terminal boxes • Galvanic isolation across input and output Protection against erroneous measurements due to parasitic voltages or ground loops • High reliability and long-term stability New APT technology for signal processing • Protective Separation acc. to EN 61140 Protects service personnel and downstream devices against impermissibly high voltage • No power supply required Saving costs since wiring is reduced and line influences are omitted • 5 Years Warranty Defects occurring within 5 years from delivery date shall be remedied free of charge at our plant (carriage and insurance paid by sender) DRAGO Signal Converter - Isolation Amplifiers - www.drago-automation.de
