TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTERS

INTRODUCTION TxBlock is a fully customer programmable head mount temperature transmitter. In-the-field configuration of input type and working range can be achieved by means of a cable and an RS232 port from a PC. TxRail represents the utmost technology in DIN rail mount temperature transmitters. Input type, working range and output calibration can be achieved by means of a cable and an RS232 port from a PC.

FEATURES
TxBlock and TxRail comprehends a family of head mount and DIN rail mount 4-20mA temperature transmitters for the most common temperature applications. One single model can be configured to accept several thermocouple types and Pt100 RTDs.

SPECIFICATIONS
! Programmable input: thermocouples type J, K, T, E, N, R, S, and Pt100 RTD with programmable working range. ! 2-wire loop powered 4-20 mA output. ! Linearized 4 to 20 mA or 20 to 4 mA output for t/c and Pt100. ! Cold junction compensation for thermocouples. ! Optional 0 to 10 Vdc for TxRail only. ! 2 or 3-wire Pt100 with linearization. ! Windows configurator (optional). ! Configuration with a PC via an RS232 cable. ! Manual zero (offset) adjustment can be done by means of a wire jumper simulating a keyboard for the TxBlock or with 2 front keys in the TxRail. ! Digital filter can be set for best 50 or 60 Hz performance. ! Power supply: 12 to 30 Vdc. ! Accuracy: Pt100 and 0 to 50 mV 0.2% full scale. Thermocouples 0.3% max. of full scale ! Temperature effect: 0.003% SPAN/C. ! Working temperature: -40 to +85C (-40 to 185F). ! Sensor failure protection: programmable burnout upscale or downscale. ! Dimensions: ! TxBlock: 44 mm (Diam.) x 25 mm (H including bornes) ! TxRail: 72 mm (H) x 78 mm (D) x 19 mm (W).

CONFIGURATION
Configuration is achieved by means of an RS232 cable connected to a PC with the convenient configurator software.
