1. Read first and then ...
The proper and safe operation of the device
assumes that the Operating Instructions are
read carefully and the safety warnings given
in the sections
5. Mechanical coding of the
plug-in module
6. Electrical connections
are observed.
The device should only be handled by appro-
priately trained personnel who are familiar
with it and authorised to work in electrical
installations.
Unauthorized repair or alteration of the unit
invalidates the warranty.

3. Brief description
The signal isolator SIRAX SI 815 serves to electrically insulate
the 4...20 mA input circuit of a two-wire transmitter. It
performs two tasks at the same time. Firstly it provides
electrical insulation and secondly it conducts the power
supply needed for measurement to the two-wire transmitter
without injecting into the circuit itself. Thus the isolator does
not require an power supply connection itself.
Some versions of the SIRAX SI 815 are designed for FSK
communication. They are used in conjunction with "intelli-
gent" two-wire transmitter which are capable of dialogue and
operation according to the FSK principle and the HART or
user-specific protocol.
