Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What signal conditioner does the CA202 require?
  The CA202 needs a charge converter like the IPC70x series for signal processing.
• Can I use the CA202 in a hazardous area?
  Yes, select the appropriate Ex-certified version for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• What is the lower frequency limit?
  The lower cutoff frequency is determined by the connected signal conditioner.
