3. Brief description
The signal isolator SINEAX TI 816 serves to electrically insulate an analogue DC
signal in the range 0...20 mA which depending on version is then converted to a
current or voltage signal (0...20 mA or 0...10 V). It does not require a separate power
supply.

Safety precautions to be
strictly observed are marked
with following symbols in the
operating instructions:
The instrument fulfils all the important requirements and regulations concerning
electromagnetic compatibility EMC and Safety (IEC 1010 resp. EN 61 010). It was
developed and is manufactured and tested in strict accordance with the quality
assurance standard ISO 9001.
4. Versions
There are two versions of the DC signal isolator SINEAX TI 816 available.
