Features:

  • Prevents problems due to voltage differences (ground loops) between the measurement point and signal processing
  • Powers sensors/conditioners (<20 mA) and outputs a 1 V/mA voltage signal proportional to the loop current
  • Replaces Zener barriers, avoiding additional voltage drops, and preserving transmission line length and system dynamic range
The GSI130 244-130-000-204 is an advanced industrial-grade galvanic separation unit designed to mitigate ground loops in complex control systems . In industrial facilities, sensors and controllers often operate at different ground potentials, leading to voltage differences that corrupt measurements and cause noise. The GSI130 provides electrical isolation (2kV) between the measurement point and the signal processing equipment, breaking these unwanted ground paths . This ensures that the signal transmitted to the monitoring system accurately represents the physical measurement, free from electrical interference.

The GSI130 244-130-000-204 serves as a dedicated power source and signal conditioner for 2-wire sensor systems . It supplies a regulated 18 V (±1 V) to the sensor or conditioner, capable of delivering up to 20 mA . Simultaneously, the GSI130 reads the loop current consumed by the powered device and translates it into a high-level voltage signal via a factory-set transfer function (1 V/mA) . This allows the system to analyze the sensor's output by simply measuring the voltage output of the GSI130, simplifying integration with controllers.

The GSI130 244-130-000-204 is designed as a superior alternative to traditional Zener diode safety barriers for powering sensors in hazardous areas . Zener barriers introduce undesirable voltage drops that can reduce the available voltage for the sensor and limit the length of the transmission line, potentially affecting the performance of the measurement system. The GSI130 overcomes these limitations by using active isolation technology. By replacing the passive Zener barrier, the GSI130 ensures the sensor receives sufficient power over long cable runs and maintains full system dynamic range, while still providing safe, intrinsically safe power for sensors in explosive environments .

The GSI130 244-130-000-204 Vibro-meter Separation Unit may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
