TT231

Description

Setup and calibration are fast and easy with a convenient USB connection to your PC and Acromag’s Windows configuration software.

Advanced signal processing capabilities, variable range input, and convenient USB programming make this instrument a very versatile temperature measurement device. These transmitters can withstand harsh industrial environments and operate reliably across a wide temperature range with very low drift. They feature RFI, EMI, ESD, EFT, and surge protection plus low radiated emissions.

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage or errors from grounded PCs and surges, Acromag strongly recommends the use of their USB-ISOLATOR when configuring a TT230 Series transmitter.
