This is the Users’ Manual for Moore Industries’ SPT,
Site-Programmable Temperature Transmitter. The SPT
accepts inputs from thermocouples, RTDs, or millivolt
or resistance (ý) sources in a host of sensor types and
connection schemes. It provides isolated, linearized (or,
selectably, non-linearized), process-ready output in
several common ranges, and can be readily switched to
operate as either a current or voltage source, or as a
current sink.
The SPT’s configurability makes it practical for use as
a “generic” transmitter — a single unit that can be
stocked, and set on-site to fulfill the requirements of
several different signal conditioning applications within
a process or plant. SPTs can also serve as replacements for installed transmitters from other manufacturers.
Unit setup is quick, intuitive, and flexible. Most operation settings can be viewed and/or changed using push
buttons and a series of simple menus displayed on the
unit’s front panel LCD. Source/sink output settings, as
well as failsafe or non-failsafe alarm function (with the
optional alarm output) are controlled by a set of DIP
switches that are located with a security jumper inside
the housing behind a sliding panel. This makes disassembly of the unit unnecessary.
The following guidelines are used throughout the
manual:
WARNING

Caution

Note

Total Sensor Diagnostics
The SPT incorporates a patented input circuit that eliminates much of the time consuming, trial-and-error work
of troubleshooting sensor networks. Total Sensor Diagnostics (TSD) continuously monitors the status of both
the input sensor (or sensors) and wiring.
– Hazardous procedure or condition that
– Hazardous procedure or condition that could

If a wire breaks, or the sensor fails, a front panel LED
changes color to flag the problem, and the LCD displays
a message telling
multiple RTD or direct ohms input applications, the SPT
messages indicate which sensor has failed, or if a wire
is broken.
These diagnostic messages allow the user to distinguish
between failures of one of the wires or in the sensor itself.
In multiple sensor applications, the SPT can even differentiate between one wire and another.
In addition to these indications, the C option enables
the SPT to provide a contact-closure alarm output that
trips in the event of a sensor failure.
where
the failure has occurred. In
Universal Mounting Capability
The unit is housed in a “universal” DIN case that can be
mounted on both 32mm G-type (EN50035) and 35mm
Top Hat (EN50022) DIN rail. The Installation section of
this manual gives unit dimensions.
Programmable Features
No hand-held configurator or sophisticated bench equipment is needed to get the SPT up and running. Unit
control is done with four push buttons on the front panel.
The standard SPT handles a variety of inputs, outputs,
and multi-sensor applications:
• Inputs – RTD type and number of wires, T/C
type, direct mV or resistance (ohms); reference
junction compensation on/off, linearization on/off.
• Outputs – 4-20mA (source or sink), or 1-5V,
configurable to drive upscale or downscale on
sensor failure. Optional SPDT relay is
configurable as failsafe or non-failsafe, with high
or low alarm function.
• Differential or Averaging – Multiple sensors
(direct ý or RTDs) can be connected to provide
output based on differential inputs, or the
averaging of two or more sensors.
• Smart-Ranging – An innovative operating
feature allows the user to “program in” zero and
full scale values. This eliminates the need for
elaborate calibration setups.

• For the standard SPT:
SPT / TPRG / 4-20MA / U [DIN]
This is a programmable temperature T/C input unit. It
sources 4-20mA output. Other defaults on this unit include upscale drive burn-out protection. This is the standard SPT that is shipped when the configurations are not
specified. This unit, like all SPTs, retains its field
configurability, regardless of any factory setup.
• For a unit with a specific factory-set input and
range (100ý Platinum RTD with a 3916, –200 to
500°C, for example) specify:
SPT / R5 - (–200) - 500C / 4-20MA / U [DIN]

SPT
Unit Setup
Operationally, the SPT is a very flexible device. Most of
its operating parameters can be set by the user, and
Moore Industries has made every effort to make setup
quick and intuitive. Bear in mind, however, that because
there is so much about the SPT that can be controlled or
set by the user, it may take a few runs through the setup
routine to become comfortable with the procedure.
It is possible to order the SPT pre-configured according
to specification, directly from the factory. Even if factory
settings have been ordered, however, it is a good idea
to run through the setup routine in order to verify that
parameters have been set according to preference. It is
easier to take a few minutes to check settings prior to
starting up your process than it is to dismantle that process because something was inadvertently overlooked.
Figure 1. Setting the Internal Jumper for Password Security ON/OFF
Internal Settings
The password security and voltage and current
sink/source selections of the standard SPT are controlled
by means of simple DIP switches and a single jumper
inside the unit housing.
If the unit is equipped with the C option for an alarm output,
the alarm’s failsafe/non-failsafe function is also controlled
by internal DIP switches.
The SPT housing is fitted with a sliding access door in its
bottom panel. Figures 1, 2, and 3 show the panel and the
location of each of the controls for setting:
• Password Security ON/OFF (Figure 1)
• Current Source/Sink or Voltage (Figure 2)
• Failsafe/Non-failsafe Alarm Function (Figure 3)

The SPT Menus
SPT operating parameters are set, and their settings
stored in on-board, non-volatile memory. There are four
push buttons on the unit front panel. Together with the
messages displayed on the LCD, these are used to
access menus and effect changes to the settings for:
• Input Sensor Type and Range
• Engineering Units Displayed, and other Options
• Alarm Functions (C-equipped units only)
• Password (Menus/Settings Security)
• “Smart Ranged” Zero and Full Scale
• Standard Ranged Zero and Full Scale
• Actual Output Trim
Main Menu/View Settings
When first powered up, the SPT defaults to a display of
measured value. Pressing VIEW accesses a series of
displays that show, in succession, the settings currently
stored in unit memory for Zero, Span, Alarm Setpoint and
High/Low operational setting, if equipped with the alarm
option.
If the security password jumper is not installed, (the
jumper is stored) pressing SELECT accesses the first
configure menu, CONFIGURE SENSOR (see figure 4).
If the jumper is installed, the SPT asks for a password
with the ENTER PASSWORD menu (see Figure 5). Then
with the password correctly entered, returns to the main
menu at CONFIGURE SENSOR.
Once inside the main menu level, the up and down arrow
buttons are used to move through the various menus in
a loop. The SELECT button accesses the associated
sub-menu.
Hitting SELECT from the “CONF EXIT” screen returns to
the display of the measured process variable.

“SET FAIL” and the “C” option
The SPT’s standard Total Sensor Diagnostics distinguishes between sensor failure and an alarm condition
on the measured process variable. If a sensor fails, the
unit output will drive in the direction specified in the “SET
FAIL” menu, and if equipped with the C option, can also
produce an alarm output.
3. Press SELECT to enter the setting

SPT
Alarm T erminology
If the SPT to be installed is equipped with the alarm option,
Moore Industries suggests that all users take a few
moments to become familiar with some of the terms
associated with the use of process instrumentation
alarms.
Figure 9 illustrates the way the SPT alarm operates. For
more in depth information, contact the factory for a copy
of the publication “
Trip Point is the process input level at which the user
wants an alarm relay to change state, typically going into
an alarm condition, or “
is set by the user.
High Alarms trip when the process input goes above
the trip point. Low Alarms trip when the process input
drops below the trip point. The SPT alarm output can be
set by the user to function as either a high or low alarm.
Figure 9. How Alarms Work with the Process Input
Alarm Trips: The Ups and Downs
tripping
”. The SPT alarm trip point
”.
Reset Point is the process input level at which the user
wants an alarm relay to change state, going from alarm
to non-alarm. The reset point is not necessarily the same
as the trip point, because most applications call for a buffer
zone or “
deadband
” around the trip point to allow for
minute fluctuations in the process input.
Deadband is the range in which an alarm relay remains
in an alarm condition even after the monitored process
variable input has returned to a safe level, at or below/
above the trip point setting. Deadband is not required,
but remember that when an alarm is configured without
one, its trip point and reset point are the same. The
deadband of the SPT is set by the user.
The relays of a Failsafe Alarm are de-energized when
tripped, energized when the process input is at a
non-alarm level. Non-failsafe Alarm relays are ener-
gized when tripped, de-energized when the process input is at a non-alarm level. The SPT alarm option can be
switched from failsafe to non-failsafe at any time by the
user.

Normal is the term used to describe the “shelf-state” of
relay contacts. The contacts of a Normally Open relay
are open (infinite resistance) when the relay is not energized. The contacts of a Normally Closed relay are open
when the relay is energized (closed when not energized).
Note:
Sometimes a non-alarm input level is referred
to as being in a “normal” condition. This
practice is intentionally avoided in this
manual. Do not confuse the term “normal”, as
in Normally Open or Normally Closed, with a
non-alarm input condition. In this manual,
“normal” is an exclusive reference to the shelf
state or quiescent state of an alarm’s relay
contacts, whether open or closed.
TSD, the C Option and the SPT Alarm
Total Sensor Diagnostics, TSD, is standard on all SPTs.
This innovative, embedded feature monitors input continuously, and displays messages on the front panel LCD
to let the user know not only if there is a problem with the
input(s), but
PUT LED also changes color (from green to red) if there
is an input problem.

screen, and press SELECT to return
to the main menu at “PASS WORD”.
3. After pressing SELECT in step 2, use
the arrow buttons to scroll through
the alarm parameters:

• Input trip point
• Enter deadband
• Enter delay
• Set high/low function
Press SELECT to access the settings
for the displayed parameter. It is
recommended that the parameter
settings be entered into SPT memory
in the order that they come up in this
step (shown above). This is not
required, however.

Sensor Failure and Alarm Output. To complement
TSD, the C option enables the SPT to provide alarm output
on sensor failure.
Note:
Without the C option, the SPT cannot provide
an alarm output on sensor failure. But, the
analog output does react to sensor failure.
Assuming the appropriate options are present, to provide a sensor failure alarm, the SPT’s HI/LO alarm setting and its upscale/downscale drive selection (“SET
FAIL”) must be configured to work in concert. The settings for both parameters must agree.
Table 2 summarizes the way the C-equipped SPT functions in response to sensor failures.
To set the parameters of the SPT alarm:
Note:
There are two options for setting the trip
points of the alarm on the C-equipped SPT,
“ENTR TRIP” and “INP TRIP”.
“ENTR TRIP” allows the user to use the front
panel push buttons to enter the desired trip
point value into unit memory.
“INP TRIP” requires that the user incorporate
the SPT into a calibration setup to “capture”
the trip point value using an adjustable
input source.

Setting HI/LO Alarms
If the SPT is equipped with the C option, this parameter
effects how the unit behaves in the event of a sensor
failure. Selecting:
• High alarm (“HI ALRM”) with a “FAIL HIGH”
setting in “SET FAIL” (“CONF OPTS”, described
in the preceding section) will cause the SPT relay
to trip if the sensor opens (output will be driven
upscale)
• Low alarm (“LO ALRM”) with a “FAIL LOW”
setting in “SET FAIL” (“CONF OPTS” in the
preceding section) will cause the SPT relay to trip
if the sensor opens (output will be driven
downscale).

SPT
Installation
The SPT is housed in a universal DIN-style case that
mounts easily on both G-type and Top Hat rails.
Mounting the SPT
To mount the SPT on Top Hat DIN rail, seat the upper
extrusion on the back panel over the top of the rail and
pivot downward until the housing locks into place.
To mount the unit on G-type rail, seat the extrusion under the top lip of the rail and pivot downward.
When mounting SPTs in multiple unit scenario like a rack
or cabinet, make sure to allow adequate vertical spacing
for pivoting the units. Figure 16 shows the unit’s dimensions.
Figure 16. Dimensions of the SPT
34.5 mm
(1.36 in)
Recommended Ground Wiring Practices
The following ground wiring practices must be followed
to ensure proper performance of the SPT:
• Any Moore Industries’ product in a metal case,
enclosure or housing should be grounded. Units
in DIN housings, for example, should be mounted
on a grounded rail.
• All input signals to, and output signals from Moore
Industries’ products should be wired using a
shielded, twisted pair technique. Shields are to
be connected to an earth or safety ground at the
unit itself.
• The maximum length of any unshielded input and/
or output signal wiring is 2 inches.

SPT
Operation
Once connected to sensors, annunciators (or other discrete devices), and appropriate power, the SPT begins
to function according to its internal switch settings and
the configuration stored in its non-volatile internal
memory.
Unit configuration data, stored in memory, is monitored
continuously. Any changes made to operating parameters controlled by choices made in the SPT menu system take effect immediately.
The settings of the internal DIP switches and security
jumper may also be changed at any time. Changing the
Security Jumper setting, however, requires that unit
power be cycled off and on before taking effect. The
settings for source/sink and failsafe/non-failsafe take
effect right away.
LED’ s
The front panel of the SPT incorporates a set of LEDs
that are labeled according to function. These indicators
provide a quick reference for input condition during normal unit operations. Table 4 illustrates the different conditions of the LEDs.
Note:
The state of the SPT relay in alarm or non-
alarm is determined by the failsafe/non-
failsafe setting of the unit’s internal DIP
switch.
Do not confuse the state of the LED with the
state of its associated relay.
Failsafe relays are ON (energized) when input
is in a non-alarm condition (green LED).
Failsafe relays are OFF (de-energized) when
input is in alarm (red LED).
Non-failsafe relays are ON (energized) when
input is in alarm (red LED), and OFF
(de-energized) when in a non-alarm condition
(green LED).

Error Codes
Every SPT is subjected to an exhaustive battery of operational checks and tests prior to its shipment. Occa-
For most problems, it will be necessary to return the unit
to the factory. A quick call to Moore Industries will have
a temporary replacement unit to you in as little as 24
hours, usually in even less time.
sionally, however, units can sustain damage getting from
the factory to the user.
Table 5 lists the error codes, and the action to take if they
are displayed on start-up.
The SPT is equipped with a full set of internal diagnostics that check unit operation and configuration on powerup. If there are problems with the unit’s microprocessor,
or with conflicting settings in memory, the LCD will show
an error code.

RETURN PROCEDURES
To return equipment to Moore Industries for repair, follow these four steps:
1. Call Moore Industries and request a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number.
Warranty Repair –
If you are unsure if your unit is still under warranty, we can use the unit’s serial number
to verify the warranty status for you over the phone. Be sure to include the RMA
number on all documentation.
Non-Warranty Repair –
If your unit is out of warranty, be prepared to give us a Purchase Order number when
you call. In most cases, we will be able to quote you the repair costs at that time.
The repair price you are quoted will be a “Not To Exceed” price, which means that the
actual repair costs may be less than the quote. Be sure to include the RMA number on
all documentation.
2. Provide us with the following documentation:
a) A note listing the symptoms that indicate the unit needs repair
b) Complete shipping information for return of the equipment after repair
c) The name and phone number of the person to contact if questions arise at the factory
3. Use sufficient packing material and carefully pack the equipment in a sturdy shipping
container.
4. Ship the equipment to the Moore Industries location nearest you.
The returned equipment will be inspected and tested at the factory. A Moore Industries
representative will contact the person designated on your documentation if more information is
needed. The repaired equipment, or its replacement, will be returned to you in accordance with
the shipping instructions furnished in your documentation.
