TX82B is a 1⁄8 DIN-sized 2-wire
current-loop indicator that is
powered directly by 1 to 5 mA,
4 to 20 mA or 10 to 50 mA process
signals, with no need for external
power connections. This reduces
field wiring costs and provides
immunity from most electrical noise
encountered in process-control
environments. The 2-wire electrical
hookup is easy via a plug-in screwclamp connector, which is standard.

Readout of Process Variables
The TX82B provides extensive zero
and span adjustment capability for
direct readout in percent or in
engineering units for process
variables such as pressure, flow,
temperature, or level. A 12.7 mm
(0.50") high LCD display
provides 31⁄2 active digits for readout
to ±1999, 2 jumper-selectable
dummy right-hand zeros for display
to ±19,990 or ±199,900, and
5 jumper-selectable decimal points.
With the dummy zeros, the TX82B
can thus be used to display the
weight of heavy trucks in pounds or
the volume of large tanks in gallons.
Easy to Configure and Calibrate
Both span and zero are finetuned with precision 15-turn
potentiometers accessible behind
the lens. Coarse zero and span
steps as well as the dummy
right-hand zero are selected by
opening the case and changing
push-on jumpers.
Intrinsic Safety Certification
FM intrinsic safety certification
is standard. Intrinsic safety
certification allows the TX83A to
be used in worst-case hazardous
environments with no need for an
explosion-proof housing, provided
TX82B, $160, shown smaller than actual size.
that an intrinsic safety barrier is
used to limit the voltage and current
that may be introduced in the
hazardous environment.
FM certification (USA) is for class I,
II, III, division 1, groups A, B, C, D,
E, F, G. The FM certification
number is 2Y4A4.AX (3610).
Built for Industrial Environments
The TX82B is housed in a splashresistant case and requires a depth
of less than 100 mm (3.9") behind
the panel. A splash-proof lens cover
which meets NEMA 4 requirements
is optional. Electrical connections
are via a 3-pole male header
connector on the circuit board and
a mating plug-in socket connector
with screw clamps, which
accommodate wire sizes of 0.5 to
2.5 mm (26 to 16 AWG). These
supplied connectors provide easy
and reliable electrical connections
and meet UL and IEC-348 safety
requirements.

A TX82B process-loop indicator may be added to an existing 1 to 5 mA,
4 to 20 mA or 10 to 50 mA installation to provide a local readout
scaled in percent or engineering units. No power wiring is required, since
the meter is powered directly by the current loop.
