The Yokogawa UT155-VR/RS is a specialized single-channel intrinsically safe (IS) isolator designed for installation in Yokogawa UTSX Series rail-mounted housings. It combines the functionality of a repeater-type isolator with a remote reset (RS) capability, making it suitable for critical safety applications where remote alarm management is required. The module accepts an active 4-20 mA signal from an externally powered device (e.g., a 4-wire transmitter) in a hazardous area and provides an isolated 4-20 mA output to the safe area. The "VR" suffix indicates operation with a 24 V DC power supply, while "RS" denotes the remote reset functionality for alarm conditions.
