G005 Galvanic isolation amplifier

Reliable isolation amplifier for intrinsically safe sensors in hazardous areas with high bandwidth and flexible output options.


Key features

  • Certified for hazardous areas (ATEX, CSA)
  • 4.7 kHz bandwidth for fast control loops
  • Voltage or current output options
  • Wide 12–30 Vdc supply range
  • Three- or five-wire sensor connection
  • 2.5 kV galvanic isolation

Performance highlights G005 Galvanic isolation amplifier

The G005 galvanic isolation amplifier ensures safe and accurate operation of intrinsically safe position sensors in hazardous environments. With a super-fast 4.7 kHz bandwidth, it is particularly suited for servo control loops and other dynamic applications.

Usage conditions

  • Certified for use in hazardous areas: [Ex ia Ga] IIC, [Ex ia Da] IIIC, CSA Class I/II/III Div.1.
  • Operating temperature: -20 °C to +60 °C.
  • Storage temperature: -40 °C to +100 °C.

Possible applications

  • Hazardous area position sensing
  • Process automation
  • Servo control systems
  • Intrinsically safe instrumentation
  • Long cable installations with voltage drop compensation

Advantages of choosing this product

  • Tri-port isolation between power supply, sensor, and output
  • Eliminates need for high-integrity earth connection
  • Compensates for cable resistance up to 15 Ω per conductor in five-wire mode
  • Compact DIN rail mounting housing (22.5 mm width)

Other important features

  • Factory configurable outputs:
    • 0.5–9.5 V or 9.5–0.5 V
    • 4–20 mA or 20–4 mA
  • Compatible with potentiometer inputs
  • Reverse polarity protection on safe area connections
