The SEM1000 isolator is designed to be series connected into a new or existing (4 to 20) mA current
loop and provide an isolated (4 to 20) mA signal capable of driving into 300 R. The output is powered
from the input loop.
Type Current input 2 wire loop powered
Range (4 to 20) mA (30 mA maximum)
Protection Reverse connection
Voltage Drop 5.5 V + O/P V Drop (O/P V Drop = O/P load x 0.02)
Max Loop Supply 35 V
Type (4 to 20) mA source (Powered from input)
Load (0 to 300) Ω(Open circuit limits at approximately 15 V)
Isolation 500 VAC (flash tested @ 1 kV) (Isolation method, opto-
coupler/transformer)
Electrical Safety BS EN61010-1 Pollution Degree 2; Installation CAT II; CLASS I
Ambient (0 to 70) ºC; (10 to 95) % RH non condensing
Accuracy 0.05 % full range output
Stability 0.01 % / ºC
Response Time Less than 100 ms to reach 63 % of final value.
EMC Compliant with BS EN50081-1, BS EN50082-1
Connection Captive clamp screws
Cable Size Maximum 4 mm² solid/2.5 mm² stranded
Case Material Grey Polyamide
Flammability To UL94-VO VDE 0304 Part 3, Level IIIA
Dimensions (60 x 60 x 12.5) mm (67.5 mm above rail)
Mounting Snap on "Top Hat" rail (DIN EN 50022-35)
Adjustments Zero and Span Adjustment

This unit must be housed within a suitable enclosure that will provide protection from the external
environment, ensuring that the stated temperature and humidity operating ranges are not exceeded. It
is good practice to mount the unit away from sources of electrical noise, such as switch gear and
transformers. The unit enclosure is designed to snap fit onto a standard "Top Hat" DIN rail. To
remove from rail, apply pressure at the bottom face at the back upwards towards the rail to release
the spring clip and tip away from the top. The unit may be mounted in any orientation and stacked
side by side along the rail.
Connections to the isolator are made via screw terminals. Wire protector plates are provided inside
each terminal. To maintain CE compliance twisted pair (screened) cables are recommended. It is also
good practice to ensure that all (4 to 20) mA loops are grounded at a single point in the loop. Before
installation, care must be taken to ensure enough voltage is available in the loop to drive the total loop
load. Refer to the specifications listed for the voltage drop. In the case of the SEM1000 the additional
voltage drop of the load connected in the isolated circuit, will be added to the loop drop of the isolator,
for example a SEM1000 isolator driving into a 250 Ωload will have a total loop drop of 10.5 V
maximum.
Refer to the SEM1000 series data sheet for further information on applications of this series of
isolators. Please note the isolation provided by this device is only suitable for providing isolation
between two process signals and therefore must not be used to provide isolation from hazardous
voltages, such as mains supplies.

This isolator requires no user adjustment during commissioning. Minor adjustments can be made to
the calibration of the device by means of the two front panel accessible calibration potentiometers.
Incorrect connection in the loop will not damage the device as long as the specified maximum
currents/voltages are not exceeded. If the isolator fails to operate, check loop for bad connections.
Ensure enough voltage is available in the loop to power the isolator. In the unlikely event of the
isolator not working, it should be returned to the supplier for repair or replacement.
1. Connect a precision current calibrator to the input and a precision current meter to the
output of the device to be calibrated.*¹
2. Inject 4.000 mA ± 0.001 mA into the input and adjust ZERO potentiometer for 4.000 mA ±
0.001 mA output.*²
3. Inject 20.000 mA ± 0.001 mA into the input and adjust span potentiometer for 20.000 mA ±
0.001 mA output.*²
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until both points are in calibration.
*Notes:
1. Current calibrator must be capable of driving the expected loop drop.
2. Please note that the above reading accuracies quoted in 2 and 3 are absolute values and
do not include test equipment tolerances.
