Is the FPM100 or CLM100 compatible with non-Maretron 4-20 mA pressure transducers?

Maretron highly recommends using Maretron pressure transducers to achieve the specified accuracy.

However, the FPM100 and the CLM100 will support other linear 4-20mA transducers even though Maretron cannott guarantee overall system accuracy.

The 4-20mA sensor must be a two wire loop powered 10-15VDC.

If the chosen sensor has a primary power supply add a loop isolator between the FPM100/CLM100 and the sensor.
