Oak USB Sensor Generic 4-20mA Current (Isolated) (V1.3a)

Generic USB Precision Current Sensor for Industrial Systems

The Oak 4-20 is a USB attached precision current sensor. It is designed to be used with off-theshelf sensors and instruments that offer a standard 4-20mA interface.
The external measuring interface is completely isolated from the USB circuit. In addition, Oak 4-20 provides a galvanically isolated 24V power supply, so the majority of external sensors can be attached without any additional hardware, using only two single wires.
To simplify installation, each Oak 4-20 has a disconnectable interface on the external side. The mating connector has screw terminals to allow for a quick attachment of bare wires.

The Oak 4-20 can be integrated in a custom application very easily. The operating power as well as real time sensor data and uncritical sensor configuration data are all transferred through a simple USB cable. The very low power consumption, including automatic entering into sleep mode, allows using the device not only in fixed installations, but also in mobile applications.
