4 Immersion Temperature Transmitter

Publication 1414-IN008A-EN-P - October 2005

All two wire sensors are polarity insensitive. Three-wire RTD sensors are used in
high temperature range applications (maximum temperature > 212°F). If desired. a
three-wire sensor may be connected as two-wire by connecting together the
EXCitation and SENse lines. If used, wire splices should be made using either
buttsplices or soldering. The use of wire nuts is not recommended.

For 4 to 20 mA loop signal, only the PWR and OUT terminals are used.

High temperature probes have three wires; two wires of one color (usually black)
and the third wire a different color (usually white).

Field Calibration

The unit can be calibrated in the field by using precision resistor values equal to the
zero and span of the transmitter temperature range.

1. Disconnect the sensor from the transmitter and connect the resistor that

represents the zero value to the EXC and NEG terminals.

2. Adjust the ZERO pot until the desired output is achieved.

3. Connect the resistor that represents the span value to the EXC and NEG

terminals.

4. Adjust the SPAN pot until the desired output is achieved.

TIP

If the unit uses a three-wire sensor, a jumper must be placed
between EXC and SEN.
