Description
Product Description
Overview
The 8202-HO-IS from Emerson is an analog output module designed for both standard and hazardous area deployments. Part of the PAc8000 modular I/O family, this unit provides eight intrinsically safe analog output channels, each capable of delivering 4–20 mA signals to field devices such as I/P converters, actuators, and transmitters.
It supports HART pass-through communication, enabling device diagnostics, advanced monitoring, and status reporting. The module’s intrinsically safe design ensures safe operation in Zone 2/Class I Div. 2 hazardous locations, complying with international safety standards. Its modular design allows seamless integration into PAc8000 systems, while built-in fault detection simplifies maintenance and enhances operational reliability.
