System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 9182/20-51-11 operates as a 2-wire loop-powered transmitter within an intrinsically safe circuit (Ex ia). The signal flow is as follows:
- Field Sensor (Hazardous Zone 0/1): RTD or TC connected to transmitter input terminals via Ex ia certified cable
- 9182/20-51-11 Transmitter: Linearizes sensor signal, applies cold junction compensation (TC), converts to 4–20 mA; galvanic isolation barrier separates hazardous and safe circuits
- Safe Area (Zone 2 / Non-Ex): 4–20 mA signal received by PLC/DCS analog input module (e.g., Siemens S7-300 SM331, ABB S800 AI810, Rockwell 1756-IF16)
- HART Overlay: HART master (handheld or asset management system) communicates digitally over the same 4–20 mA loop for configuration and diagnostics
This architecture eliminates the need for a separate Zener barrier or galvanic isolator in the safe area, reducing BOM cost and panel wiring complexity.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 9182/20-51-11 compatible with Pt100 3-wire RTD sensors?
A: Yes. The Series 9182 supports 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD connections. 3-wire Pt100 is the most common field configuration and is fully supported with automatic lead resistance compensation.
Q: Can this transmitter be used without a separate safety barrier?
A: Yes. The 9182/20-51-11 incorporates built-in galvanic isolation and intrinsic safety circuitry, eliminating the need for an external Zener barrier or galvanic isolator on the safe-area side.
Q: What is the HART revision supported?
A: The device supports HART 5/6/7 protocol, compatible with all major HART masters including Emerson 475, Fluke 710, and AMS Device Manager.
Q: Is this product approved for Zone 0 installations?
A: Yes. Ex ia IIC classification permits installation in Zone 0 (the most hazardous gas classification) when used with appropriately rated associated apparatus.
Q: What is the typical lead time for this part?
A: Lead time varies by stock availability. In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical lead time is 4–8 weeks from R. STAHL factory. Contact us for current availability.
