The TX13 is a “smart” in-head
transmitter that accepts thermocouple
temperature sensors and converts
sensor output over a configured
range to a standard industrial (4 to
20 mA) transmission signal.
A simple pushbutton operation
allows the user to select TC type,
burnout direction, select fixed ranges
and trim 4 and 20 mA points. The
in head transmitter incorporates the
latest digital technology to ensure
accurate drift-free performance.
If required the desired range can
be specified at the time of order,
removing the need for user
configuration. If the range is not
specified then the transmitter will be
shipped with the default range of
0 to 1000°C (32 to 1832°F) Type K.
