One of the most common types of pressure transducers used in Australia is a transducer with a 4-20mA electrical output.
This type of electrical output is used in many different industrial and process automation applications, where the measurement, or monitoring of pressure is necessary.
If you are looking for a pressure transducer with a 4-20mA output, then contact ADM Instrument Engineering on 1300 236 467. We have a wide range of pressure transducers in stock with a 4-20mA output.

Displays for 4-20mA Pressure Transducers
In many applications it is likely that the pressure transducer will be feed its output signal directly into a PLC.
However, sometimes a localised read out is required, or the application at hand is a standalone project, where there is no PLC, or system controller.
In either case ADM can offer a solution.
Localised Display
For a localised readout, the ESI PM1000 is a very simple solution. This is compatible with 4-20mA pressure transducers with a DIN43650 connector. This plug-on display simply fits between the transmitter plug and connecting cable socket
and is powered from the 4-20mA current loop signal of the transmitter. No additional power source is required.
Process Indicators and Alarms
If you need a standalone display that can give over pressure, or under pressure alerts then we suggest you consider the Eurotherm 32h8i/SG.
This indicator and alarm unit features:
- 2 alarm relay outputs
- 2 off digital inputs as standard
- 240VAC, or 24VAC / VDC power supply options
- Process alarms - four internal alarm setpoints
- Custom text message display for event, alarm or process condition
Why Use a 4-20mA Pressure TransduceR?
Using a pressure transducer with a 4-20mA analogue output signal is usually convenient, because it is compatible with many PLCs that are commonly used in industrial and process applications around Australia.
Also, unlike many of the digital communication protocols, 4-20mA signals can be run over longer distances. If you would like to read more about this please click on the following link:
