Loop Powered Dual Relay Trip Amplifier SEM1636

The SEM1636 loop-powered trip amplifier monitors a 4-20mA process loop and provides two independent changeover relay contacts that can be set to trip at any point within the 4-20mA range. Because it derives its power directly from the monitored current loop, the SEM1636 requires no separate power connection, simplifying installation wherever alarm relays need to be added to an existing 4-20mA circuit.

Each relay output is independently configured for action, set point, and dead band, with six selectable actions available — normal or inverted high, low, and deviation alarms. Additional math filtering and user linearisation functions let the device handle non-linear tank shapes or flow characteristics. Configuration is via a standard USB interface and free Status software, with the unit powered from the USB connection during setup so it does not need to be wired into the loop to be configured.

  • Loop-Powered Operation — Derives all operating power from the monitored 4-20mA loop — no separate supply needed.
  • Dual Independent Relays — Two changeover relay contacts, each trippable at any point in the 4-20mA range.
  • Six Alarm Actions — Normal or inverted high, low, and deviation alarm modes per relay.
  • User Linearisation — Math filtering and linearisation for non-linear tanks or flow characteristics.
  • Independently Configurable Set Points — Each relay has its own set point and dead band configuration.
  • USB Configuration — Free Status software for setup; USB-powered during configuration.

Does the SEM1636 need a separate power supply?

No, it is loop-powered and derives all the power it needs from the monitored 4-20mA loop.

How many relay outputs does the SEM1636 have?

It has two independent changeover relay contacts, each configurable to trip at any point within the 4-20mA range.

What alarm actions can each relay be set to?

Six actions are available: normal or inverted high, low, and deviation alarms.

Can the SEM1636 handle non-linear tank or flow signals?

Yes, additional math filter and user linearisation functions allow it to follow non-linear tank or flow characteristics.
