TT273 Field Rangeable RTD

Temperature Transmitter

Overview
Model TT273 is a 2-wire temperature transmitter for 2 or 3-lead
100 platinum RTDs. The transmitter converts the RTD
temperature into a linearized 4 to 20 mA DC current signal.
Because this current signal is immune to leadwire and electrical
noise, the TT273 lets you obtain accurate temperature readings
from RTDs thousands of feet away. An ordinary twisted pair of
wires carries both the temperature signal and power for the
transmitters electronics.

TT273 RTD
Temperature Transmitter

Ambient temperature effects:

0.018% of span/C (0.01% of span/F).

An LED conveniently indicates the status of the control loop.

The brightness is directly proportional to the loop current. A
very bright LED indicates an open RTD; a dark LED signals a
shorted RTD or loss of current loop power.

Warmup drift: 0.1% of span max., assuming

Vsupply = 24 VDC and Rloop = 250 .
Stable within 15 minutes.

4 to 20 mA current signal

TT274 Field Rangeable Thermocouple

Temperature Transmitter

Overview
Model TT274 is a 2-wire temperature transmitter for types J
and K thermocouples. The transmitter converts the thermocouples millivolt signal to a 4 to 20 mA DC current signal. Because
this current signal is immune to leadwire and electrical noise,
the TT274 lets you obtain accurate temperature readings from
thermocouples thousands of feet away. An ordinary twisted
pair of wires carries both the temperature signal and power for
the transmitters electronics.
With the isolation option, the mV input signal from the thermocouple is electrically isolated from the 4 to 20 mA output,
allowing use of grounded thermocouples with multiple TT274s
operating from the same power supply.
An LED conveniently indicates the status of the control loop.
The brightness is directly proportional to the loop current. A
dark LED signals an open sensor or loss of current loop power.
4 to 20 mA current signal
Fits standard 35 mm DIN rail
