1 DESCRIPTION

1.1 Introduction

The Druck RTX 1000H series is a process pressure transmitter that measures the pressure of liquid, gas or vapor and gives an analog output proportional to the applied pressure. The transmitter is available in a compact and lightweight metal housing with facilities for direct mounting to pipeline installations. The type of housing is specified in the order.

The transmitter uses the HART

communication. The HART

protocol gives easy access to the process data and makes it possible to adjust the transmitter operation. For example: to make accurate adjustments to the zero and span. There are also push-buttons and switches on the electronics module to adjust the transmitter operation.

1.2 About the Electronics Housing (Figure 1-1)

The electronics housing contains a digital pressure module (DPM), electronics module, connecting cables and the terminal block.
