About the Duct Average-temperature Transmitter
The multi-point duct average-temperature transmitter incorporates numerous precision RTD
sensors at equal distances. The transmitter is encapsulated in a soft copper probe for long lengths
or a stainless steel probe for shorter lengths. All probes provide excellent heat transfer, fast
response, and moisture-penetration resistance. The transmitter provides a high accuracy signal
with excellent long term stability, low hysteresis, and fast response.

Mount the Duct Average-temperature Transmitter
Follow these steps to mount the transmitter.
1. Install the duct average sensors onto hangers in the duct using supplied clamps.
Located the sensors in a straight section of duct away from heating, cooling, or
humidifier elements.
The duct average sensor can be easily shaped to fit any duct size, but observe a minimum
bend radius of six inches to prevent damage to wires or sensors. Duct average elements
are not recommended for high humidity applications.
2. Mounted the duct average temperature transmitter enclosure to the outside of the duct,
where the sensor tubing exits the duct, by using sheet metal screws (not supplied).

Wire and Connect the Duct Average-temperature Transmitter
Follow these steps to wire and connect the transmitter.
1. Connect the transmitter to the controller by using twisted 18…22 AWG wire.
The transmitter requires two wires for DC 4…20 mA loop-powered operation. The use
of shielded cable is optional, but recommended for the highest noise immunity.
IMPORTANT
2. Select the controller Analog Input (AI) 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…70 °C (32…158 °F). The transmitter board should not be
mounted where temperatures exceed these values. See the connection diagram for more
details.
Do not route signal wires in the same conduit with power cables as signal
degradation may occur.

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.
TIP
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.
If the unit uses a three-wire sensor, a jumper must be placed between EXC and
SEN.
