GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Failure to follow these installation guidelines may result in
death or serious injury. Make sure only qualifiedpersonnel
perform the installation.
Explosions can cause death or serious injury. Verify that the
operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with
the appropriate hazardous locationscertifications.
Use the Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitter
when the temperature measurement point is remote from the control,
readout, or recording point, or where the measurement point is exposed
to environmental conditions that would be harmful to unprotected
signal conditioning equipment.
Electrical temperature sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples
2-1
Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitters
produce low-level signals proportional to their sensed temperature. Model 444
temperature transmitters convert the low-level sensor signal to a standard 4–20
mA dc signal that is relatively insensitive to lead length and electrical noise.
This current signal is then transmitted to the control room via two wires.
Figures 2-1, and 2-2 show recommended mounting configurations for
transmitter and sensor assemblies. See Section 6 Options for information
regarding Model 444 transmitter accessories.

You can attach the transmitter directly to the sensor assembly as shown in
Figures 2-1 and 2-2. An optional mounting bracket permits the transmitter to be
mounted remotely from the sensor(s), either on a flat surface or attached to a
two-inch pipe (See Figure 2-11 on page 2-13). The choice of mounting method
must take into account a number of factors:
Mounting stability is an important consideration. The transmitter, though
rugged, may require supplementary support under high-vibration conditions,
particularly if extensive thermowell lagging or long extension fittings are used.
In such instances, the pipestand mounting technique shown in Figure 2-11 on
page 2-13 is preferable.
When choosing an installation location and position, take into account the need
for access to the transmitter.
to both compartments.
Make wiring connections through the conduit openings on the terminal side of
the electronics housing. Mount the transmitter so the terminal side is accessible,
and be sure to provide adequate clearance for cover removal.
The transmitter electronics are installed in the circuit side of the transmitter
housing. In case of electronic malfunction, provide adequate clearance for
circuit-side cover removal. Also, be sure to account for additional clearance if a
meter is to be installed. For more information regarding the meter option, refer
to Section 6 Options.

Load Limits.
This section contains information that you should consider when preparing to
install Model 444 transmitters. Read this section carefully before going on to the
installation procedures. Metal conduit should be used to enclose cabling for best
results in electrically noisy environments.
The dc power supply should provide power with less than 2% ripple. The input
voltage versus load limitation relationship for 4–20 mA transmitters is shown in
Figure 2-3. Figure 2-4 shows field wiring for a standard Model 444 transmitter.
Figure 2-5 shows field wiring for Models 444LL and 444LM low-power voltage
output units, which require 100K ohms minimum load. The total R-load is the
sum of the resistance of the signal leads and the load resistance of the controller,
indicators, and related devices. Note that the resistance of intrinsic safety
barriers, if used, must be included in the total load.

Do not apply high voltage (e.g. ac line voltage) to the
transmitter terminals. Abnormally high voltage can damage
the unit.
All power to the transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring. Signal wiring
need not be shielded, but use twisted pairs for best results. Do not run
unshielded signal wiring in conduit or open trays with power wiring, or near
heavy electrical equipment. To power the transmitter, connect the positive power
lead to the terminal marked “+” and the negative power lead to the terminal
marked “–” (see Figures 2-4 and 2-5). Tighten the terminal screws to ensure
adequate contact. No additional power wiring is required.

Highvoltagethatmaybe present on leads can causeelectrical
shock. Avoid contact with the leads and the terminals.
Various RTD configurations are used in industry; each configuration offers a
specific solution for compensating the effects of lead wire resistance. They
include 3- and 4-wire designs. The correct installation for each of these RTDs is
shown in Figures 2-6a and b on page 2-6.
If the transmitter is mounted remotely from the RTD, operation will be
satisfactory, without recalibration, for lead wire resistances of up to 2 ohms per
lead (equivalent to 200 feet of 20 AWG wire). In this case, the leads between the
RTD and transmitter should be shielded.

Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitters
The correct connections for a compensation loop RTD and a 2-wire RTD are
shown in Figure 2-6c and Figure 2-6d, respectively. In a 2-wire RTD, however,
both leads are in series with the sensor element, so significant errors (0.1 °C)
could occur if the lead lengths are greater than one foot. For longer runs when
using a 2-wire RTD, attach a third lead and connect as shown in Figure 2-6a.

Installation
Thermocouple or
Millivolt Inputs
Grounding
In the case of thermocouples, make connections between the sensor and the
transmitter with thermocouple wire. For process mounting applications, connect
the thermocouple directly to the transmitter. For installations where the
transmitter is mounted remotely from the sensor, use appropriate thermocouple
extension wire. As with all low-level signal wiring, shielding is recommended for
long runs. Make input connections for the Model 444MV Millivolt Transmitter
using copper wires. The correct connections for thermocouple and millivolt
inputs are shown in Figures 2-6f and g.
The transmitter will operate with the current signal loop either floating or
grounded. However, many types of readout devices are affected by the extra
noise in floating systems. If operation appears noisy or erratic, grounding the
current signal loop at a single point may solve the problem. The negative
terminal of the power supply is the best place to ground the loop. Alternately,
either side of the readout device could be grounded. Do not ground the current
signal loop at more than one point.
Thermocouple and millivolt transmitters are isolated, so the input circuit also
may be grounded at any single point (when a grounded thermocouple is used,
this point is the grounded junction), and the signal loop may be grounded at any
point.
The 444RL transmitter is not isolated, so there can be no grounds in the RTD
circuit. Since RTDs must be well-insulated from ground in order to give correct
temperature readings, this is not normally an installation limitation. The
positive side of the power supply should not be grounded for use with RTD input
transmitters. The 444RI9 should be used with grounded RTDs.

If using shielded wire, connect the shield of the sensor-to-transmitter cable to
the shield of the transmitters-to-receiver cable. Ground the shielding only at the
signal loop ground.
Figure 2-8 illustrates how several transmitters can be connected to a single
master power supply. In this instance, the system can be grounded only at the
negative power supply terminal. Since several channels are dependent on one
supply, an uninterruptible power supply or backup battery should be considered
if loss of all channels would pose operational problems. The diodes shown in
Figure 2-8 prevent unwanted charging or discharging of the battery.

Surges/Transients
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Temperature
Environment
The transmitter will withstand electrical transients of the energy level usually
encountered in static discharges or induced switching transients. However, highenergy transients, such as those induced in wiring from nearby lightning strikes,
can damage both the transmitter and the sensor.
To protect against high-energy transients, install Model 444 transmitters in
conjunction with the Rosemount Model 470 Transient Protector. The Model 470
prevents damage from transients induced by lightning, welding, heavy electrical
equipment, or switch gears. Refer to the Model 470 Transient Protector product
data sheet, pub. no. 00813-0100-4191 for more information.
The transmitter will operate within specifications for ambient temperatures
between –25 and 85 °C. It will function, but not necessarily within specifications,
in ambient temperatures between
–40 and 100 °C.
Aside from ambient temperature variations, heat from the process is transferred
from the thermowell to the transmitter housing. If the process temperature is
near or beyond specification limits, use excess thermowell lagging or an
extension nipple to protect the transmitter from the high temperature condition.
See Figure 2-10.
EXAMPLE:
Suppose the maximum ambient temperature is 40 °C and the temperature to
be measured is 540 °C. The maximum allowable housing temperature rise is
the rated temperature specification limit minus the existing ambient
temperature (85 – 40), or 45 °C. As shown in Figure 2-9, an “E” dimension of
3.6 inches will result in a housing temperature rise of 22 °C. An “E”
dimension of 4 inches would therefore be the minimum recommended length,
and would provide a safety factor of about about 25 °C. A longer “E”
dimension, such as 6 inches, would be desirable in order to reduce errors
caused by transmitter temperature effect, although in that case the
transmitter would probably require extra support. If a thermowell with
lagging is used, the “E” dimension may be reduced by the length of the
lagging.

Moist or Corrosive
Environments
HazardousLocation
Installation
The transmitter is designed to resist attack by moisture and other corrosives.
The coated circuit boards are mounted in a compartment completely sealed from
the conduit entrances. O-ring seals protect the interior when the covers are
installed. In humid environments, however, it is still possible for moisture
“breathing” to occur in conduit lines. If the transmitter is mounted at a low point
in the conduit run, the terminal compartment could fill with water, causing
electrical shorting. The transmitter should be mounted so moisture from the
conduit will not drain into the housing. In some instances a drain seal, installed
as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-3, is advisable.
Explosions mayresult in death or serious injury.Verify that
the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent
with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
Explosions mayresult in death or serious injury.Both
transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosionproof requirements.
Intrinsically Safe
Installation
The Model 444 is designed with an explosion-proof housing and circuitry
suitable for intrinsically safe and non-incendive operation. Individual
transmitters are clearly marked with a tag indicating the approvals they carry.
The various approvals are available as options. Refer to Section 5 Specifications and Reference Data for a complete listing of available
approvals.
To maintain certified ratings for installed transmitters, install in accordance
with applicable installation codes and approval drawings. Refer to Appendix A Approval Drawings for Model 444 installation drawings. For future orders,
refer to the current product price list for the most up-to-date information on
these approvals.
For explosion-proof installations, installation location must
be m ade in accordance with Rosemount drawing 004440261, Rev. E.
For intrinsically safe installations, installation location must
be m ade in accordance with Rosemount drawing 004440034, Rev. C (CSA) or00444-0264, Rev. B (SAA).
You can use Intrinsically safe installations instead of explosion-proof
installations in hazardous areas. In such configurations, the transmitter and
sensor are located in a hazardous area, and the current signal leads are
connected to equipment in a non-hazardous area through intrinsic safety
barriers that limit the voltage and current fed into the hazardous area. Install in
accordance with the barrier manufacturer’s instructions for the specific barrier
used. For approval information, refer to Table 5-1 on page 5-4, and Table 5-2 on
page 5-5. For installation information, refer to the intrinsically safe barrier
systems reference drawings in Appendix A Approval Drawings.

Installation
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
Installation consists of mounting the transmitter and sensor assembly and
making electrical connections. If mounting the transmitter directly to the sensor
assembly, use the process mounting technique shown in Figure 2-1 or Figure 2-2,
on page 2-3. For transmitter locations remote from the sensor, use conduit
between the sensor and transmitter. Transmitter hubs will accept male conduit
fittings with ½–14 NPT; ½–14 NPSM; or ½–14 taper thread per ANSIC 80.4.
Explosion mayresult in death or serious injury. Do not
remove the instrument cover in explosive atmos pheres
when the circuit is alive.
High voltage that may be present on leads may cause
electrical shock.Avoid contact with the leads and the
terminals.
Process leaks may result in death or serious injury.Install
and tighten thermowells or sensors before applying
pressure, or process leakage may result. Removing the
thermowell or sensor while in operation may cause process
fluid leaks.
Mechanical
Electrical
1. Mount the thermowell to the pipe or process container wall.
2. Attach any necessary extension nipples and adapters. Seal the nipple and
adapter threads with silicone or tape.
3. Screw the sensor into the thermowell.
4. Install drain seals if required for severe environments or to satisfy code
requirements (See Figure 2-2 on page 2-3).
5. Attach the transmitter to the thermowell assembly. Seal the adapter
threads with silicone or tape.
6. Install conduit for field wiring to the remaining conduit entry of the
transmitter. Seal conduit threads with silicone or tape.
7. Pull field wiring leads through the conduit into the terminal side of the
transmitter housing.
For explosion-proof installations, wiring connections must
be m ade in accordance with Rosemount drawing 004440261, Rev. E.
For intrinsically safe installations, wiring connections must
be m ade in accordance with ANSI/ISA-RP12.6, and
Rosemount drawing 00444-0034, Rev.C (CSA) or 004440264, Rev. B (SAA).
For all installations, wiring connections must follow the
National Electric Code.

Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitters
Preliminary Checkout
1. For any Model 444 unit, first verify that the transmitter is calibrated to
the required range. Calibration is usually performed by substituting an
input in place of the sensor, and this is most conveniently accomplished
prior to sensor connection. Refer to the calibration procedures in Section 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Input Connections
2. Model 444RL: Connect the RTD leads as shown in Figure 2-6a, b, c, d, or
e depending upon the lead compensation method used.
Model 444T series: Connect the thermocouple leads as shown in Figure
2-6f. Polarity is important; be sure to identify the leads accurately. The
negative lead is usually red; if there is no color coding, the characteristics
provided in Figure 2-7 may be helpful.
Model 444MV: If using the transmitter as a millivolt-to-milliampere
converter, use ordinary copper leads for input connections as shown in
Figure 2-6f. If using the transmitter with two thermocouples to measure
differential millivolt, connect the thermocouples as shown in Figure 2-6g.
The “high” thermocouple causes the transmitter output to increase when
its temperature increases relative to the “low” thermocouple. Grounded
thermocouples cannot be used for differential measurements.
Models 444LL and LM: In these low-power option packages, the RTD
leads are connected the same as in the conventional RTD arrangements
shown in Figure 2-6a, b, c, and d.
Output Connections
3. For all 4–20 mA models, use ordinary copper wire of sufficient size to
assure that the voltage across the transmitter power terminals does not go
below 12 V dc (See Figure 2-3). For multi-channel or intrinsically safe
installations, see applicable paragraphs in this section.
Model 444RL: Connect current signal leads as shown in Figure 2-6a, b, c,
or d.
Model 444T series: Connect current signal leads as shown in Figure 2-6f.
Model 444MV: Connect current signal leads as shown in Figure 2-6f or g.
Models 444LL and LM: Connect current signal leads as shown in Figure
2-6e.
Final Checkout
4. For all models, recheck the polarity and correctness of connections; then
turn the power on.

OVERVIEW
SAFETY MESSAGES
Each transmitter is factory calibrated to the temperature range shown
on the nameplate. If calibration to a specific range is not specified on
the purchase order, the transmitter is calibrated to maximum span
with a base temperature of 0 °C, and the “Calibration” entry on the
transmitter nameplate is left blank. For more specific calibration
information and a complete breakdown of transmitter parts, refer to
Section 5 Specifications and Reference Data.
Only a few calibration laboratories have the kind of precision
temperature baths necessary for accurate direct calibration of a
temperature sensor or sensor/transmitter system. As a result, the
transmitter is normally calibrated by substituting a resistance decade
box for an RTD or a compensated thermocouple simulator for a
thermocouple.
This section contains the following transmitter calibration information:
• Calibrating a RTD Transmitter
• Calibrating a Thermocouple Transmitter
• Calibrating a Low-Power Transmitter
• Calibrating a Millivolt Transmitter
This section contains procedures that require removing the transmitter
covers and making electrical connections. The following safety
messages apply to all such procedures.
Explosion mayresult in death or serious injury. Do not
remove the instrument cover in explosive atmos pheres
when the circuit is alive.
High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.Avoid contact with the leads and the
terminals.

CALIBRATING A
RTD TRANSMITTER
Calibration ProcedureTo calibrate a model 444RL or 444RL___B0912, perform the following procedure:
Calibration Equipment Required:
Readout Resistor. The transmitter test terminals give a 40–200 mV signal. The
Models 444RL and444RL ___B0912 have a jumper-selectable 4–20 mA test
output option (2-board sets). If this is not suitable for the test equipment
available, a ±0.1% tolerance, 0.5 W precision wirewound resistor is needed.
Suggested values include a 100-ohm resistor to give a 0.4 to 2 volt output; or 500
ohms for 2 to 10 volts.
Voltmeter (such as a 5-digit DVM). Voltage rating is dependent upon the test
signal. Accuracy is ±0.01%; resolution is 1 mV.
dc Power Supply. Power capability is 24 V dc at 35 mA.Resistance Decade Box. Precision type, 5-dial, with largest dial providing 100-
ohm steps. Accuracy is ±0.02 ohm. The decade box should be periodically
calibrated against a 5-dial Wheatstone bridge.
Lead Simulation Resistors. If the transmitter is to be mounted remote from the
RTD, and the lead resistance between the transmitter and the RTD is greater
than 2 ohms per lead (equivalent to 200 ft of 20 AWG wire), the transmitter
should be trimmed with simulated lead resistances for best accuracy. This
requires wirewound resistors with resistance values equal to the nominal lead
resistance of the RTD.
1. The Models 444RL and 444RL ___B0912 have a jumper-selectable 4–20
mA test output option. If a 4–20 mA test output is required, reposition the
test terminal output jumper on the range board (the default setting is 40–
200 mV). Refer to steps 2 through 4 of the disassembly procedure, on page
4-4, for information on removing the circuit board assembly.
Place the jumper in the position labelled “A” for a 4–20 mA test output. See
Figure 3-1. Refer to steps 5 through 12 of the reassembly procedure, on
page 4-5, for information on reinstalling the circuit board assembly.
2. Remove the cover from the terminal side of the transmitter housing.
3. If an RTD is already connected, remove all RTD lead connections.
4. Attach the calibration test equipment as shown in Figure 3-2. Use
miniature banana plugs to make terminal connections. Use simulated lead
resistors only if necessitated by long lead wire lengths, as discussed above.
3-2
NOTE
If using RTD configurations other than the 3-wire design shown in Figure 3-2,
refer to Figure 2-6 on page 2-6 for the correct wiring.
5. If trimming the transmitter to a new range, you may have to reposition the
Coarse Zero Jumper on the Range Board. If so, see the disassembly
procedure on page 4-4. Position the jumper in the location shown in Table
3-1. (A transmitter with a Base Temperature outside the regions shown in
Table 3-1 is a special design, and does not contain a Coarse Zero Jumper.)
Reassemble the circuit boards.
Calibration
6. Determine the RTD resistance at the desired base and full scale
temperatures. For Calibration Code 1 (see Table 5-3, on page 5-9), these
resistances are listed in Table B-1.
7. Turn the power on.
8. Set the decade box to the resistance corresponding to the desired base
temperature. Adjust the zero potentiometer until the output is 4 mA.
Remember that recovery time of the unit from an underscale condition is
longer than from an over-scale condition. Therefore, set the box to a higher
resistance than that desired, then bring it down to the correct value.
9. Set the decade box to the resistance corresponding to the desired full scale
temperature. Adjust the span potentiometer until the output is 20 mA.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until you obtain the 4 and 20 mA readings without
readjusting the span and zero potentiometers. Complete this process more
quickly by noting the full scale reading before readjusting the span pot,
using the span pot to overshoot the desired reading by 20%, and then
using the zero pot to readjust the full scale reading to 20 mA.
EXAMPLE:
To calibrate the Model 444RL1U1 for a range of 100 to 150 °F (38 to 66 °C),
first consult Table 3-1, and plug the jumper into pins Z2. From Table B-1,
trim points are 114.68 and 125.37 ohms corresponding to 100 °F and 150 °F
respectively. After adjusting the base to 4 mA, and setting the decade to full
scale resistance, output equals 22.5 mA, or 2.5 mA greater than desired. Set
the span pot to an output lower than 20 mA by the amount equal to 20% of
2.5 equals 0.5 mA, or 19.5 mA. Reset the zero pot so the output equals 20 mA.
Repeat steps 8 and 9 and this procedure until readjustments are no longer
necessary.

Simulator
Calibration Procedure1. Remove the cover from the terminal side of the transmitter housing.
Calibration Equipment Required
Compensated Thermocouple Simulator. Precision voltage source providing
conformity to NIST Monograph 125 thermocouple curves. Reflect accuracy of
simulator to desired calibration span. A simulator accuracy four times better
than the transmitter is recommended (0.05% of calibrated span or 0.005mV
whichever is greater). Simulator inaccuracies greater than this will degrade
system accuracy and factory calibration is recommended.
Voltme t er. Such as a 5-digit DVM. Accuracy is ±0.01%; resolution is 1 mV.
dc Power Supply. Power capability is 24 Vdc at 35 mA.
Thermocouple Wire.Use the same type as that used in the construction of the
thermocouple.
Readout Resistor. The transmitter test terminals give a 40–200 mV signal. If
this is not suitable for the test equipment available, a ±0.1% tolerance, 0.5 W
precision wirewound resistor is needed. Suggested values include a 100-ohm
resistor to give a 0.4 to 2 volt output; 250 ohms for 1 to 5 volts; or 500 ohms for
2 to 10 volts.
2. If a thermocouple is already connected, remove all thermocouple lead
connections.
3. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 3-4. Be sure to maintain
polarity from the transmitter to the thermocouple simulator. Make
terminal connections using miniature banana plugs.
4. If trimming the transmitter to a new range, you may have to reposition the
Coarse Zero Jumper on the Range Board. If so, see the Disassembly
Procedure on page 4-4. Position the jumper in the location shown in Table .
(A transmitter with a base temperature outside the regions shown in Table
is a special design and does not contain a Coarse Zero Jumper. Also, Model
444 TR and TS transmitters do not have Coarse Zero Jumpers.)
Reassemble the circuit boards.
5. Determine the base and full scale temperatures.
6. Turn the power on.
7. Refer to the thermocouple simulator instructions for setting the
thermocouple type and engineering units. Set the simulator to the base
(zero) temperature and adjust the zero pot until the output is 4 mA (or 40
mV at the test terminals).
8. Set the simulator to the full scale temperature and adjust the span pot
until the output is 20 mA (or 200 mV at the test terminals).
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you obtain the 4 and 20 mA readings without
readjusting the pots. Use the “overshoot” technique described in step 9 of
the RTD calibration procedure, if desired.
10. Disconnect the simulator leads. Reconnect the thermocouple and power
leads, if required. Replace the terminal side housing cover.
11. Mark the new range in the “Calibration” space on the nameplate.

Calibration Procedure1. Remove the cover from the terminal side of the transmitter housing.
Calibration Equipment Required
Millivolt Source. Precision voltage source providing outputs from –10 to 100
mV. Reflect accuracy of four times better that the 444 transmitter is
recommended (0.05% of calibrated span or 0.005 mV which ever is greater).
Voltme t er. Such as a 5-digit DVM. Accuracy is ±0.01%; resolution is 1 mV.
dc Power Supply. Power capability is 24 V dc at
35 mA.
Thermocouple Wire.Use the same type as that used in the construction of the
thermocouple.
Readout Resistor. The transmitter test terminals give a 40–200 mV signal. If
this is not suitable for the test equipment available, a ±0.1% tolerance, 0.5 W
precision wirewound resistor is needed. Suggested values include a 100-ohm
resistor to give a 0.4 to 2 volt output; 250 ohms for 1 to 5 volts; or 500 ohms for
2 to 10 volts.
Ice Bath. For highest accuracy, a stirred ice bath (such as a Rosemount 911A)
should be used, as well as ice made from deionized or distilled water.
Input Monitor Voltmeter. Use to monitor source when required. Resolution of
±0.001 mV for ranges up to 100 mV. This can be the same as voltmeter used to
measure transmitter output if rangeability and resolution are sufficient for
both levels.
2. Install the equipment as shown in Figure 3-5 and allow the thermocouple
junctions to stabilize at the ice point. Make terminal connections with
miniature banana plugs.
3. If trimming the transmitter to a new range, you may have to reposition the
Coarse Zero Jumper on the Range Board. If so, see the disassembly
procedure on page 4-4. Position the jumper in the location shown in Table .
(A transmitter with a base temperature outside the regions shown in Table
is a special design and does not contain a Coarse Zero Jumper. Also, Model
444 TR and TS transmitters do not have Coarse Zero Jumpers.)
4. Determine the thermocouple millivolt levels at the desired base and full
scale temperatures. See NIST Monograph 125 or
Table B-1.
5. Turn the power on.
6. Set the millivolt source until the monitoring voltmeter reads the emf
corresponding to the desired base temperature. Adjust the zero pot until
the output is 4 mA.
7. Set the millivolt source until the monitoring voltmeter reads the emf
corresponding to the desired full scale temperature. Adjust the span pot
until the output is 20 mA.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you obtain the 4 and 20 mA readings without
readjusting the pots. Use the “overshoot” technique described in step 9 of
the RTD calibration procedure, if desired.
9. Mark the correct range in the “calibration” space on the nameplate.

Resistance Decade Box. Precision type, 5-dial, with largest dial providing 100-
ohm steps. Accuracy is ±0.02 ohm. The decade box should be periodically
calibrated against a 5-dial Wheatstone bridge.
Lead Simulation Resistors. If the transmitter is to be mounted remote from the
RTD, and the lead resistance between the transmitter and the RTD is greater
than 2 ohms per lead (equivalent to 200 ft of 20 AWG wire), the transmitter
should be trimmed with simulated lead resistances for best accuracy. This
requires wirewound resistors with resistance values equal to the nominal lead
resistance of the RTD.
Load Resistor. If the transmitter is to be operated with a load that is
significantly different from the DVM used for calibration, a load resistor can be
used for best calibration accuracy. A metal film, carbon comp, or wirewound
resistor, as well as a decade box can be used to simulate the actual load.
3-8
Calibration ProcedureThe following steps describe the procedure for calibrating a low-power
transmitter, as shown in Figure 3-6:
1. Remove the cover from the terminal side of the transmitter housing.
2. If an RTD is already connected, remove all RTD lead connections.
3. Attach the calibration test equipment as shown in Figure 3-6. Make
terminal connections using miniature banana plugs. Use simulated lead
resistors only if necessitated by long lead wire lengths, as discussed above.
NOTE
If using RTD configurations other than the 3-wire design shown in Figure 3-2,
refer to Figure 2-6 on page 2-6 for the correct wiring.
4. Determine the RTD resistance at the desired base- and full-scale
temperatures. For Calibration Code 1 (see Table 5-5), obtain these
resistances from Table B-1.
5. Turn the power on.
6. Set the decade box to the resistance corresponding to the desired base
temperature. Adjust the zero potentiometer until the output is 0.8 V for
Model 444LL or 1.0 V for Model 444LM.
7. Set the decade box to the resistance corresponding to the desired full-scale
temperature. Adjust the span potentiometer until the output is 3.2 V for
Model 444LL or 5.0 V for Model 444LM.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you obtain both the zero- and full-scale readings
without adjusting the span and zero potentiometers. Complete this process
more quickly by noting the full-scale reading before readjusting the span
pot, using the span pot to overshoot the desired reading by 20%, and then
using the zero pot to readjust the full scale reading.
9. Disconnect the decade box and the readout. Reconnect the RTD and power
leads. Replace the terminal cover.
10. Mark the correct range in the “Calibration” space on the nameplate.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you suspect a malfunction, refer to Table 4-1 to verify that
transmitter hardware and process connections are in good working
order. Under each of the seven major symptoms, you will find specific
suggestions for solving the problem. Always deal with the most likely
and easiest-to-check conditions first.
This section offers tips for troubleshooting several kinds of potential

REPAIR
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Exposure to hazardous substances can cause death or
serious injury. If a hazardous substance is identified, a
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), required by law to be
availableto people exposed to specific hazardous
substances, must be included with the returned materials.
In case of a failure, particularly one in which the transmitter’s output goes to
one extreme and stays there, the first step is to determine whether the fault lies
with the sensor(s) or the transmitter. Although only a careful calibration can
determine sensor shifts, catastrophic failures (such as an open or shorted sensor
element) can be checked with an ohmmeter at the time the transmitter is
disconnected from the sensor(s).
NOTE
The Resistance vs. Temperature and Millivolt vs. Temperature tables for the
standard Model 444 sensor input types are presented in Table B-1 in Appendix
B Temperature Sensor Reference Information.
RTD Test: A platinum RTD with an ice-point (°C) resistance of 100 ohms should
read approximately as shown in Table B-1 at other temperatures. The resistance
between the two leads on the same side of the sensing element should be low, a
few ohms at most. Resistance between any of the RTD leads and the sensor
sheath should be high
(1 megohm or greater).
Thermocouple Test: Thermocouple resistance should be low (10 ohms or less
for short runs of heavy wire). For longer runs of extension wire, resistance will
be roughly ten times the resistance of copper wire of the same diameter. If the
sensor and receiving equipment are functioning properly, the transmitter will
probably require repair.
The transmitter is designed for easy replacement of its plug-in, modular circuit
boards. A malfunction can be most easily isolated by substituting boards one at a
time until the unit functions properly.
It is recommended that customers return defective circuit boards to Rosemount
Inc. for repair (see “RETURN OF MATERIALS” on page 4-6). This ensures that
replacement parts meet the design criteria for the board and that the
malfunctioning board is completely checked and repaired.
Rosemount Inc. offers a circuit board repair/replacement program through its
many service centers. Please contact your Rosemount field sales office for price
and delivery information.

Disassembly
Procedure
Explosion can cause death or serious injury. Do not remove
the instrument cover in explosive atmospheres when the
circuit is alive.
High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock. Makesure all powerto the transmitter is off
before wiring.
NOTE
The numbers in parentheses refer to parts shown in the Illustrated Parts List,
Table 5-7, in Section 5 Specifications and Reference Data.
1. Terminal blocks for making all field wiring electrical connections are
located in a compartment identified as “Terminal Side” on the nameplate.
The sensor terminals, power supply and signal-test terminals, as well as
the zero and span adjustments are accessible by removing the Electronics
Housing Cover (2) from the terminal side. The terminals are permanently
attached to the housing and must not be removed.
2. The transmitter electronics Circuit Board Assembly (5, 6, 7) is located in a
separate compartment, identified as “Circuit Side” on the nameplate.
Make sure power is off. Then remove Circuit Side Cover (2).
NOTE
On the standard RTD input (Model 444RL), fast turn-on (Model 444RL
___B0912), and low-power (Models 444LL and LM) units, boards 5 and 6 are
integrated into one board.
3. Remove the three Circuit Board Assembly Screws (4).
4. Push equally on the zero and span adjustment pot shafts from the
terminal side. This will allow you to grasp and remove the Circuit Board
Assembly.
5. If troubleshooting is required, it is best to keep the Circuit Board
Assembly together for initial evaluation. Otherwise, the board assembly
may be disassembled by grasping the Output Board (5) around its
circumference and pulling it gently and evenly away from the other two
boards. Remove the Amplifier Board (6) in the same manner. Take care not
to bend the interconnection pins.
6. The adjustment pot shafts are sealed by two small O-rings (1D). Remove, if
necessary, by taking off the O-ring Retainer Plate (1B), which is held in
place by two small screws (1C).
7. The Nameplate (1E), Hazardous Service Certification Label (9), and
Instrument Tag (8) are held in place with Drive Screws (1F). Remove any
of these by gripping the head of the Drive Screw with pliers and carefully
turning counter-clockwise.
4-4
Reassembly
Procedure
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Explosions can cause death or serious injury. Both
transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosionproof requirements.
1. Inspect all O-rings (1D,3) and replace if necessary. Lightly grease new Orings with silicone grease to guarantee an adequate seal.
2. If the O-ring Retainer Plate (1B) has been removed, be sure the correct
side is facing outward. The resistor symbol should be visible on RTD
Transmitters, while a thermocouple symbol should be visible on
Thermocouple or Millivolt transmitters.
3. Inspect threaded connections on the housing and covers to make sure a
minimum of five undamaged threads will be fully engaged. If the threads
are shiny, apply a thin layer of molybdenum disulphide thread coating
(such as Moly-Kote) to prevent galling of the aluminum threads.
4. If the Range Board (7A) requires a Coarse Zero Jumper (7B) check to make
sure it is in the correct location for the desired temperature range. See
Table 3-1, on page 3-3 or Table 3-2, on page 3-6.
5. Orient the Range Board (7A) and Amplifier Board (6) as shown in the
Illustrated Parts List. Taking care not to bend the pins, plug the Amplifier
Board into the Range Board. Press together until all three standoffs on the
Amplifier Board rest against the Range Board.
6. Orient the Output Board (5) so its standoffs line up with the standoffs of
the Amplifier/Range Board combination. Carefully and evenly, plug the
output board into the Amplifier/Range Board. Take care not to bend the
pins. Press together until all three standoffs on the Output Board rest
against the Amplifier Board.
7. The circuit board assembly may be bench-tested, or calibrated outside the
housing through the use of Test Terminal Strips (11 and 12). See the
discussion of Calibration and Troubleshooting in this section.
8. If the circuit board assembly has been calibrated outside the housing, be
very careful to ensure the zero and span adjustment pots are not moved
while inserting the circuit board assembly into the housing.
9. Orient the circuit board assembly so the pot shafts line up with the pot
holes in the housing.
10. Insert the circuit board assembly firmly into the housing.
11. Replace the three Circuit Board Assembly Screws (4).
12. Replace the transmitter covers (2). Tighten the covers hand-tight.

REPAIR AND
WARRANTY
SERVICE
The Model 444T series (TE, TJ, TK, TT, TR, TS) and Model 444MV have a
resistor network that drives the output either upscale or downscale if an open
occurs in the input circuit. This option is identified in the model number. To
convert from upscale to downscale, disassemble the circuit board assembly and
remove R3 (22 meg, ¼WCC resistor) from the range board. To convert from
downscale to upscale, replace R3. If no burnout protection is desired (as in some
instances where the source has a high input impedance), remove both R2 and
R3. See Figure 3-3, on page 3-6.
Model 444RL has a jumper on the range board to select burnout protection.
Placing the jumper in the “U” position will cause the output to be driven upscale
if the RTD opens. If the jumper is in the “D” position the output will be driven
downscale. See Figure 3-1, on page 3-3. Models 444LL and 444LM have inherent
upscale burnout protection that cannot be changed. Model 444RL also has a
jumper on the range board to specify mA output at the transmitter test
terminals. Setting the jumper at the “V” position produces a 40–200 mV output
at the test terminals. Setting the jumper at the “A” position produces a
4–20 mA output at the test terminals. See Figure 3-1, on page 3-4.

Configuration
FIGURE 6-2.LCD Meter.
The LCD and analog meters provide local indication of the transmitter output.
Both meters attach easily to the terminal side of the transmitter.
The Rosemount® LCD meter plugs directly into the Model 444 to provide a
highly accurate digital display of the process variable. The meter adds no voltage
drop in the 4–20 mA current loop when connected directly across the transmitter
test terminals.
Configure the LCD meter to meet specific requirements by using the left and
right calibration buttons located on the meter face as shown in Figure 6-2. The
analog bar graph is also shown in Figure 6-2. The 20-segment bar graph is
factory calibrated and represents
4–20 mA directly.

No calibration equipment is required to configure the LCD meter, but between 4
and 20 mA must exist in the loop in order for the meter to operate. The actual
value of the current is not significant. In addition, meter configuration does not
affect the transmitter/loop current. Use the following meter configuration
procedure to properly configure the LCD meter.
Remove the Cover1. Unscrew the retaining ring shown in Figure 6-2 and lift the transparent
cover off of the housing.
NOTE
The LCD meter time-out is approximately 16 seconds. If keys are not pressed
within this period, the indicator reverts to reading the current signal.
