TT508/TT518 Programmable

Temperature Transmitter

Overview
This transmitter amplifies a signal from a RTD or linear resist-
ance, and it turns the signal into a current which increases from
4 to 20 milliamperes as the temperature or input signal increas-
es. This industry-standard 4-20mA signal travels thousands of
feet over a pair of wires, ignoring electrical interference and
bringing the temperature, accurately, into your computer or
controller. Drawing power directly from the signal line, only 2
wires are needed for power and signal.
