The WG 21 repeater power supply is used to supply intrinsically safe 2-wire transmitters. It supplies the transmitter with power and transmits the measurement signal to the output galvanically isolated and with high accuracy. In addition to the analog signal, the WG 21 also optionally transmits data protocols for SMART transmitters (HART). It allows for bidirectional communication between the field device from every point of the wiring.
The high supply voltage, the good hazardous-area ratings and the broad-range power supply allow for universal use. Cables up to 1400 m in length can be used without any problems. Thanks to a new transformer-based transmission technique, the WG 21 achieves an extraordinarily high transmission accuracy for hazardous-area applications. The encapsulation provides maximum operating safety, long-term stability, and disruptive strength even under extreme ambient conditions.
