Please be informed that the data shown in this PDF Document is generated from our Online Catalog. Please find the complete data in the user's documentation. Our General Terms of Use for Downloads are valid (http://phoenixcontact.com/download) 

Current measuring transducer for 1 A and 5 A AC, the output signal 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA, can be configured using a DIP switch with an operating mode indication through an LED 

The figure shows 2810625 MACX MCR-SL-CAC-5-I-UP 

## Product description 

The MACX MCR-SL-CAC-5-I(-UP) current measuring transducers convert sinusoidal alternating currents of 1 A or 5 A into standard analog signals 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA. The DIP switches, which can be accessed on the upper side of the housing, can be used to configure the input and output current. 

The MACX MCR-SL-CAC-5-I current transducer contains a supply voltage range of 19.2 V DC to 30 V DC. 

The MACX MCR-SL-CAC-5-I current transducer contains a long range version with a supply voltage range of 19.2 V AC/DC to 253 V AC/DC. 

## Product Features 

Input/output can be configured via DIP switches
