Field mounted Type 2-wire Potentiometer Transmitter

We plan to replace an actuator at field. We are going to convert the actuator’s feedback potentiometer signal to a standard 4-20 mAdc signal and then we are going to transmit the 4-20 mA to control room for monitoring. Does M-System have field-mounted 2-wire potentiometer transmitter? With regard to a power supply for the transmitter, we are going to use the current loop supply, the M5DY.

We recommend you to use M-System’s field-mounted two-wire potentiometer transmitter, model 6M and the outdoor enclosure, model 6BX-E.
This weather-tight enclosure protects the transmitter against dust and water. Environmental protection level of the enclosure is NEMA 4X, IP65.
In addition, you can choose an outdoor housing made by stainless steel as option.
