The TX12 head mounted
temperature transmitter connects
to any standard Pt100 resistance
sensor and converts the linearized
temperature to a 4 to 20 mA signal.
The transmitter is a two wire device,
and is fully configurable by the user,
over a wide temperature range,
with the aid of a simple pushbutton.
This new TX12 design incorporates
additional configuration menus,
allowing the user to push button
trim the transmitter output at both
zero and span, ideal for trimming
out sensor errors. The transmitters
advanced circuitry guaranties
high stability over the wide operating
ambient temperature ranges
experienced by head mounted
devices.
One of the transmitters features is
the program LED, which provides
visual indication of sensor fault
when in normal operation and
is also used to guide the operator
through the simple menus
during configuration.
