TT237: Voltage Input, Loop-Power, 2-Wire Transmitter

TT237: Voltage Input, Loop-Power, 2-Wire Transmitter Description

The TT237 model is a space-saving two-wire transmitter that isolates and converts a process level DC voltage input to a proportional 4-20mA control signal. A single unit supports multiple voltage input ranges for extra flexibility. Power is received from the output loop current or a local DC supply when using a three-wire connection.

High-voltage isolation separates the input from the output circuit. Isolation protects from surges, reduces noise, and eliminates ground loop errors.

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.

Performance Specifications

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.
