TT235: Isolated RTD Input, Loop Power, 2-Wire Transmitter

TT235: Isolated RTD Input, Loop Power, 2-Wire Transmitter Description

The TT235 model is a space-saving two-wire transmitter that isolates and converts an RTD sensor input to a proportional 4-20mA signal. Power is received from the output loop current or a DC supply when using a three-wire connection.

The transmitter provides sensor excitation plus performs linearization, lead-wire compensation, and lead-break detection.

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.

*Note 1: Linear resistance input range approaches but does not include 0Ω and 500Ω. If exactly 0Ω or 500Ω is measured, break detection is triggered.
**Note 2: Rated accuracy (in °C and % of span) applies for input spans greater than 5% of input full-scale.

Input Scaling Adjust:
Zero: 0 to 95% of range, typical.
Full scale: 5 to 100% of full scale range, typical.

Lead Break (Sensor Burnout) Detection: Configurable for either upscale or downscale.

Output

Output Range: 4 to 20mA DC.
Under-range capability 3.5mA.
Over-range capability 24mA.

Output Compliance:
Rload = (Vsupply – 11V) / 0.020A.
Rload = 0 to 650 ohms @ 24V DC.

Output DAC Resolution: 16-bit D/A converter.

Output Accuracy: Better than ±0.05% of span, typical (±0.1% max) for nominal input spans. Includes the effects of repeatability, terminal point conformity, and linearization, but does not include sensor error.

Ambient Temperature Effect: Better than ±0.008% per °C of input span or ±80ppm/°C, typical. Includes the combined effects of zero and span drift over temperature.
