Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment.
Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication
SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://www.literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences between solid state
equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the
wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must
satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many
variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot
assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits,
equipment, or software described in this manual.

Strap-on Temperature Transmitter 3
Install the Strap-on Temperature Probe
Mount the probe under any pipe insulation in direct contact with the pipe to
measure the temperature of the pipe using metal pipe straps or cable ties. For best
results, thermal compound should be used between the probe and pipe to improve
heat transfer and the installation should be wrapped with insulation to reduce the
effects of ambient air.
Wire/Connect the Strap-on Temperature Transmitter
Connect the transmitter to the controller using twisted 18 to 22 AWG wire. The
transmitter requires two wires for DC 4 to 20 mA loop-powered operation. The use
of shielded cable is optional but recommended for the highest noise immunity. Do
not route signal wires in the sam econduit with power cables as signal degradation
may occur. The controller Analog Input (AI) must be selected to match the
transmitter output before power is applied. The AI type must be a current input
with 250 or 500 ohm impedance. All transmitters have an operating range of 0 to
70°C (32 to 158°F). The transmitter board should not be mounted where
temperatures exceed these values. See the connection diagram for more details.
Typical wiring to a controller is shown in the connection diagram.

For 4 to 20 mA loop signal, only the PWR and OUT terminals are used.
Field Calibration
The unit can be calibrated in the field by using precision resistor values equal to the
zero and span of the transmitter temperature range.
1. Disconnect the sensor from the transmitter and connect the resistor that
represents the zero value to the EXC and NEG terminals.
Publication 1414-IN013A-EN-P - October 2005

TIP
If the unit uses a three-wire sensor, a jumper must be placed
between EXC and SEN.
2. Adjust the ZERO pot until the desired output is achieved.
3. Connect the resistor that represents the span value to the EXC and NEG
terminals.
4. Adjust the SPAN pot until the desired output is achieved.
Repeat these steps until no further adjustment is required.
