PR 4116 Universal Transmitter

The PR 4116 Universal Transmitter is a flexible, industrial-grade signal conditioning solution for simplifying process measurement and automation control. This multifunctional transmitter, the 4116 from PR electronics, accepts virtually any sensor input, including RTDs (resistance temperature detectors), thermocouples (TC), resistance (Ohm), potentiometers, mA and voltage (V) signals. Thus, users can standardize diverse field signals into reliable analog outputs for controllers, PLCs, and data acquisition systems.

Whether you’re converting temperature, resistance, or process signals, the PR 4116 Universal Transmitter delivers precision, safety, and adaptability. As a result, the 4116 reduces inventory complexity and improves system uptime across industrial automation applications.

• Linearized, electronic temperature measurement with RTD or TC sensor.
• Conversion of linear resistance variation to a standard analog current / voltage signal, for example, from solenoids and butterfly valves or linear movements with attached potentiometer.
• Power supply and signal isolator for 2-wire transmitters.
• Process control with 2 pairs of potential-free relay contacts and analog output.
• Galvanic separation of analog signals and measurement of floating signals.
• The PR 4116 provides the required failure data (SFF and PFDAVG) for SIL 2 applications as per IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.
• Failure rates for the 4116 correspond to Performance Level "d" according to ISO-13849.

PR 4116 Universal Transmitter from PR electronics

Built for demanding industrial environments, the PR 4116 Universal Transmitter features a universal AC/DC supply, current and voltage outputs, and two potential-free relay contacts for versatile control and alarm functions. FM approval for Division 2 hazardous area installations and advanced safety design make it suitable for mission-critical applications, including those requiring SIL 2 and PL "d" performance levels.

• When the PR 4116 is used in combination with the PR 4500 display series, all operational parameters can be modified to suit any application.
• As the 4116 features electronic hardware switches, it isn't necessary to open the device for setting of DIP-switches.
• A green / red front LED indicates normal operation and malfunction.
• A yellow LED is ON for each active output relay.
• Continuous check of vital stored data for safety reasons.
• 4-port 2.3 kVAC galvanic isolation.

Easy Mounting, Installation, and Programming

Installation and configuration are straightforward with the detachable PR 4500 series programming interface, thus enabling easy setup, two-point calibration, and password-protected parameter control without internal access. Low power consumption supports dense DIN-rail mounting even at high ambient temperatures, while robust galvanic isolation minimizes electrical noise and also enhances signal integrity.

• Very low power consumption means units can mount side by side without an air gap – even at 140˚F (60˚C) ambient temperature.
• Configuration, monitoring, 2-point process calibration and more are accomplished using PR's 4500 series of detachable displays.
• All programming can be password-protected.
• Features approval for  marine applications.
