Tek-Trol’s Explosion-proof Temperature Transmitter is a microprocessor based
temperature transmitter that has temperature sensors such as Thermocouple, RTD, mV,
and Resistance. The Tek-Temp 2100A is explosion-proof type and has high precision,
better reliability and uses a remote communication system. This transmitter is enabled in
HART communication with Host, a HHT (HART Hand-Held Terminal), or PC Configurator.
The transmitter has a number of variables in host that can be changed, configured, and
calibrated by users with the help of HHT.
2.2 Measuring Principle
A temperature transmitter is typically connected to a 24VDC power source. The
temperature sensor such as RTD or Thermocouple measures the temperature of the
medium. The transmitter first modifies the output signal of the sensor into a standard
format with the help of Signal Conditioning process such as Amplification, Isolation,
Filtering, Linearization, and Excitation. The transmitter amplifies and converts the output
to a high-level analog signal, usually a standard 4-20mA signal. It then transmits the
amplified signal to the control device by means of long cable runs.
The transmitter is designed to withstand severe environmental conditions. However, to
ensure stable and accurate operation for many years, the following precautions must be
observed when selecting an installation location:
x Ambient Temperature
x Ambient Atmosphere
x Shock and Vibration
x Installation of Explosion-Protected Transmitters
x Select a location where the maintenance of transmitter can be conducted easily.
Avoid locations subject to wide temperature variations or a significant
temperature gradient. If the location is exposed to radiant heat from plant
equipment, provide adequate insulation or ventilation
Avoid installing the transmitter in a corrosive atmosphere. If the transmitter must
be installed in a corrosive atmosphere, there must be adequate ventilation as well
as measures should be taken to prevent intrusion or stagnation of rainwater in
conduits. Moreover, there should be appropriate ventilation preventing corrosion
by rain gathered on conduit
Select an installation site that experiences minimum shock and vibration (although
the transmitter is designed to be relatively resistant to shock and vibration).
Explosion-protected transmitters can be installed in hazardous areas according to
the gas types for which they are certified.
3.2 Waterproofing of Cable Conduit Connections
Apply a non-hardening sealant (silicone or tape, etc.) to the threads to waterproof the
transmitter cable conduit connections.
3.3 Restriction on Use of Radio Transceivers
Although the transmitter has been designed to resist high frequency electrical noise, if a
radio transceiver is used near the transmitter of its external wiring, the transmitter may
be affected by high frequency noise pickup. To test for such effects, bring the transceiver
in use slowly from a distance of several meters from the transmitter, and observe the
measurement loop for noise effects. Thereafter, always use the transceiver outside the
area affected by noise.
3.4 Insulation Resistance Test or Dielectric Strength Test
Since the transmitter has undergone insulation resistance and dielectric strength tests at
the factory before shipment, normally these tests are not required. However, if required,
observe the following precautions in the test procedures:
x Do not perform such tests unless it is absolutely necessary. Even test voltages that
x Never apply a voltage exceeding 500 VDC (100 VDC with an internal lightening

terminals. Perform the tests according to the following procedure.
1. Short-circuit the +ve and -ve SUPPLY terminals in the terminal box.
2. Turn OFF the insulation tester. Then connect the insulation tester plus (+) lead
wire to the shorted SUPPLY terminals and the minus (-) lead wire to the
GRONDING terminal.
3. Turn ON the insulation tester power and measure the insulation resistance.
The voltage should be applied should be as short as possible to verify that

4. After completing the test and being very careful not to touch exposed
conductors, disconnect the insulation tester and connect a 100kW resister
between the grounding terminal and the short-circuiting SUPPLY terminals.
Leave this resistor connected for at least 3-seconds to discharge any static
potential. Do not touch the terminal while it is discharging.
1. Short-circuit the +ve and -ve SUPPLY terminals in the terminal box.
2. Turn OFF the dielectric strength tester. Then connect the tester between the
shorted SUPPLY terminal and the GROUNDING terminal. Be sure to connect
the grounding lead of the dielectric strength tester to the ground terminal.
3. Set the current limit on the dielectric strength tester to 10mA, then turn ON
the power and gradually increase the tester voltage from '0' to the specified
voltage.
4. When the specified voltage is reached, hold it for 1-minute.
5. After completing this test, slowly decrease the voltage to avoid any voltage
surges.
To use the cadence carrier from the environment where the vibration is heavy and must
install the transmitter: In the environment where the vibration is heavy you will have to
install the transmitter by using an assistant support. In the case of severe vibration,
promote to mount-on pipe using a mounting bracket.
The Tek-Temp 2100A Temperature Transmitter can be mounted in 2 ways:
x Remote mounting sensor
x Direct mounting sensor
It is possible to install temperature sensor on both.
3.6 Consideration of Transmitter Access
When selecting the establishment location for the transmitter, to treat a location is
convenient you must consider:
x Rotation of housing: housing can be rotated up to 90°
x Terminal sides of transmitter: Use terminal space where can easily pull out the
transmitter cover
x Circuits side of transmitter: the space where there is a possibility of treating an
electronic circuit / the space where you can easily be able to pull out the
transmitter cover. If an LCD meter is installed, it requires extra space

4.1 General Considerations
This transmitter uses temperature sensors. It transfers electrical signal minutely to 4 to
20mA analog signal. Thus, mount the transmitter close to the process and use a minimum
of sensor length to achieve best accuracy. However, keep in mind the need
for easy access, safety of personnel, practical field calibration, and a suitable transmitter
environment. In general, install the transmitter so as to minimize vibration, shock, and
temperature fluctuations.
4.2 Electrical Considerations
The transmitter housing composes of two parts. One side is electronics circuit, and other
side is terminal block. The terminal block side is the transmitter's front side and is
indicated as "Field Terminal" in transmitter’s external housing. Open this side's housing
cover; the terminal block in-housing is inside. Consider the terminal block polarity while
connecting the transmitter's power supply.
The Tek-Temp 2100A Temperature Transmitter can input sensors such as RTD,
Thermocouple (TC) and Resistance. In case RTD, 2Wire/3Wire and 4Wire Sensor
connections are applicable. 2-Wire Thermocouple (B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T) sensor input can
also be connected. The figure shown below indicates the connection of the sensor to the
transmitter.
4.4 Power Supply Information
In the transmitter’s power supply, input current voltage is between 11.9VDC to 45VDC
and the ripple is not up to 2%. The loop resistance is preferable ďĞƚǁĞĞŶϮϱϬɏƚŽϲϬϬɏ
for the HART communication.
CAUTION
x Install cable far from electrical noise resources like capacitive transformers,
motors and power supply as soon as possible
x Before wiring, remove electrical lead connect cap
x All screw-lined portions should be sutured to be waterproofed
x The power line and signal line should not be in the same duct, so as to avoid
noise generation
x The explosion-proof transmitter should, in order to maintain the explosion-
proof quality of the transmitter effectively, follow the explosion-proof
specification that is provided
x Use over 600V PVC shielded wire or standard lead line of same class or cable. (In order
to ensure proper communication use 24 AWG or lager wire, and do not exceed 4922 ft.
(ϱϵϬϲϰĨƚ)
x Use the shielded wire in electrical noise effected area
x At the area where temperatures are higher or lower than the ambient temperature, use
the wire or the cable that is suitable for that specific temperature
x Use suitable wire or cable in environment with oil, solvent, toxic gas or liquid
4.4.2 Connection of External Wiring to Transmitter Terminal Box
x Open the housing cover indicated "FIELD TERMINAL". In explosive environments, when
the circuit is powered on, DO NOT open the covers
x Connect the power supply in the terminal indicated "+PWR" (left terminal) and "-"
power supply in the central terminal. Don't connect "+" power supply in "+" terminal of
the point indicated "TEST". It will damage the test diode that is used.
x Seal and close the non-used conduit connection part to protect it from severe humidity
and explosion in the terminal box of housing
x For a better adjustment, completely turn screw terminal
x Again. close the transmitter cover. Especially when using in an explosive area, you must
to satisfy all safety requirements
x Do not supply a high voltage (AC power) in transmitter leads. It can cause damage to the
transmitter
x You must connect a 250 – 600 ohm loop resistor in the current loop
x Use a general-use and intrinsically safe make of cable wiring that uses metallic conduit
or waterproof cable glands (safety barrier must be connected to inner loop).
x KOSHA Flameproof type
Use wire cables through a flameproof packing adapter, or using a flameproof
metal conduit:
1. Only use flameproof packing adapter by KOSHA
2. Apply a non-hardening sealant to the terminal box connection port and to the
threads on the flameproof packing adapter for waterproofing
3. Mount the flameproof packing adapter to the terminal box
4. Screw the flameproof packing adapter into the terminal box until the O-ring
touches the terminal box wiring port (at least 5 full turns), and tighten the lock
nut
x Grounding is required below 10 ohm for explosion-proofing and safety
x There is a ground terminal on the inside and outside of the terminal box. Either of these
terminals may be used
x Use 600V grade PVC insulated wire for grounding
4.8 Power Supply and Load Resistance
When configuring the loop, make sure that the external load resistance is within the
range in the figure below. The voltage of transmitter terminal input is same as follows:
Standard Power Supply: 11.9 to 45VDC
And maximum loop current is 24mA, Load Resistance
You have to install at -40
range. If predicted heat exceeds or is equivalent to the ambient temperature range
limit, consider an additional method to cut-off the process heat.
4.9.2 Environment Having Toxic Material/ Moisture
Housing of the Tek-Temp 2100A can be protected against moisture or toxic material.
The electronic circuit side is separated from terminal side. When the O-ring seal cover is
covered, it is safe. However, drips could penetrate the housing of transmitter through
the conduit pipeline. Therefore, the transmitter should be set up over the position of
conduit pipe to prevent dripping.
4.9.3 Installation in a Dangerous Place
The transmitter is designed with explosion-proof housing. The installation environment
of the transmitter must confirm to explosion-proof specifications.

5.3 Fail Mode Alarm
Tek-Temp 2100A Explosion-proof Temperature Transmitter automatically and
continuously performs self-diagnostic routines. If the self-diagnostic routines detect a
failure, the transmitter drives its output outside of the normal saturation values. The
transmitter will drive its output low(down) or high(up) based on the position of the failure
mode alarm jumper. The table below shows the output values.
The Fail Mode Select Jumper switch is in LCD module and main CPU module and Jumper
Switch Line is connected circuital. In the case of no LCD module, we can use CPU module's
Fail Mode Select Jumper switch and in the case of LCD module we can use the LCD
module's Jumper switch. In this case, the CPU module selected is "Down" side. Not
selected and we can select "Down" side.
The EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) restores various configuration
variables in the transmitter. To protect against change of the configuration variable data
in the software, on the hardware side there is a Write-Protect mode and Jumper switch
selected. It is segmented "EEP-Write DIS / EN " in the main CPU module. When you
connect the jumper to DIS you can't change the configuration data in EEPROM. When you
connect the jumper to EN you can change configuration data in EEPROM. When there is
no connected Jumper, it is classified EN. At the factory before shipment, it is configured
"EN".

5.5 Configuration of Alarm and Security Jumper Procedures
To change jumper's position, follow the procedure given below:
x If installing the transmitter, cut-off power
x Open the housing front side covers. If there is power supply, don't open the
transmitter
x Turn off Jumper, turn on at wanted position
x Close the housing covers. You must fully engage to meet the explosion-proof
requirements
5.6 Configuration of Zero and Span Procedures
ZERO and SPAN Buttons are visible when the nameplate of the transmitter is opened.
For the previous version of this transmitter, ZERO, SPAN, ZERO TRIM and ZERO ADJ.
functions were supported using ZERO / SPAN buttons; from Version 58, the Units, Range,
Damping, LCD decimal set functions are included. The procedure has also changed as
below:
However, the ZERO and SPAN set functions are the same as before the revision of Version
58. Using functions which supported by buttons:
x Zero/Span button mounted in the transmitter
x HHT Configurator by HART Communication
Zero/Span configuration process by Zero/Span button of the transmitter:
1. Release both sides bolts of the nameplate in the upper part of the transmitter and
push down to the right of the nameplate. This will show the Zero/Span button.
2. Zero Configuration
Set the current process value for Lower Range Value (4 mA).
Put necessary pressure on the Zero button for 10-seconds and push the Zero
button for 5-seconds. This will display “Zero” in the LCD window. After checking
this message, remove the finger from the button. Press the button for 3 seconds
with 1- second intervals. This will display “-ZE-”in the LCD window. When this
message is displayed all zero configurations are complete. If the procedure has
failed, “SPEr” or “SEtE” will be displayed in the LCD window.
Sets the current process value for Upper Range Value (20 mA).
Put appropriate pressure on Zero for 10 seconds and push the Span button for 5
seconds. This will display as “SPAn” in the LCD window. After checking this
message, remove the finger from the button. Press the button for 3 seconds with
1-second intervals. This will display “-SP-“ in the LCD window. When this message
is displayed, all Zero configurations have completed. If the process has failed,
“SPEr” or “SEtE” will be displayed in the LCD window.
a. “SPEr”: Setting Value is over Sensor Limit Range or Less Minimum SPAN
b. “SEtE”: Setting Value is not written on memory
c. “ZtEr”: Setting Zero Trim value is 10% over Sensor Max Span
d. “bEr1”: Zero/Span and Zero Trim functions are stopped in the middle of work
(button is pressed only one time or pressed continuously. This message is
present for Button Error)
5.7 Configuration of Zero Point Adjustment
Zero Point Adjustment means to configure PV value which output after Zero Trim. Zero
Point Adjustment is to configure a current PV Value for another value (which is not zero)
by configuring the offset value of zero point. This is for configuring a current displayed
value for a desired process value without making the process value zero. Especially, in
case the of configuring level value, it is very difficult to make Sensor Zero Trim, this
adjustment is a very convenient way to configure a current value for a desired value.
There are two ways to achieve Zero Point Adjustment of the Tek-Temp 2100A
A. Using the Zero/Span button on the transmitter
B. Using HART communicator, HHT, etc.
The guide below shows a Zero Point Adjustment procedure using Zero/Span button:
x Loosen both bolts of the nameplate on the upside of the transmitter and push the right
end of nameplate back a little bit
x Apply necessary pressure and push Zero and Span button simultaneously for 3 seconds.
This will display “Z-tr” in LCD window. Continuously push the Zero and Span buttons for
3 seconds again. This will display “Z-AD” in LCD window. After checking this message, it
should show that 0.01% diminishes whenever the Zero button is pushed, and 0.01%
increases whenever the Span button is pushed. Pushing the button continuously
changes the speed to fast or slow. If you push the Zero/Span button for 3 seconds or do
not push any button for 30 seconds. “-Zo-“ message is displayed in the LCD window.
When this message is displayed, all procedures has completed. The range for Zero Point
Adjustment is permitted within 100% of Calibrated Span.
x Close the cover of nameplate and lock both bolts.
x Refer to Appendix I for Button Error and LCD Display Message

5.8 Shop Commissioning using HHT
Commissioning consists of testing the transmitter, testing the loop, and verifying the
transmitter configuration data. The Tek-Temp 2100A Temperature Transmitter may be
commissioned using HHT of HART supported either before or after installation.
If you connect a "TEST" pin, it's not communicated. If it doesn't expose electronics circuits
after install, you must connect all jumpers to the transmitter in the shop commissioning
level. Analog output of the transmitter is 4 - 20 mA, so it requires power supply at
11.9VDC - 45VDC and an Ampere meter for measuring output current. You must connect
a 250 - 550ohm resistor in a power loop for HART Communication and HHT or PC
Configurator.
5.9 Commissioning on the Bench with a Hand-Held Terminal
After and before installation, you can handle upon commissioning. However, for correct
handling and understanding of the function, before installation you have to handle upon
commissioning on the bench with a Hand-Held Terminal.

5.11 On-line Operations
This chapter describes the configure function of the Tek-Temp 2100A Explosion-proof
Temperature Transmitter. This transmitter can be configured to On-Line or Off-Line
mode. In On-Line Configuration Mode, you must connect a configuration such as HHT
(Hand Held Terminal), etc. Configuration data inputs into the working register of HHT and
this data is sent to the corresponding transmitter.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be

5.11.1 Configuration of Current to Passive Mode
In the case of a short current loop, you must configure the current loop to passive mode
to send or request data to change the transmitter. Don't believe the message indicating
HHT; you must configure the Current Loop to passive mode with another operation.
5.11.2 Configuring Data Review
In cases of installing the transmitter in a factory site, before operating the transmitter
re-examine and certify whether the configuration data corresponds with the factory
application environment.
5.11.3 Check Output
Before others handle the transmitter, you must examine and confirm whether the
transmitter operates properly and can suitably configure process variables.
x Process Variable
We use two progress variables in Tek-Temp 2100A Explosion-proof Temperature
Transmitter. The pressure value is the Primary Variable and temperature value of
pressure value configure SV (Secondary Variable) with fixed value.
Moreover, this PV value outputs with 4 to 20mA analog value.
5.11.4 Basic Setup
You must configure the correlation variable for operating the current transmitter.
x Select Sensor Range
The temperature range to measure is dependent on the range code of the sensor.
This value is automatically classified from the Temperature sensor module.
x Set Output Units
Select from the following engineering units:
Unit: °C, °F, °R, °K, etc.
When the sensor is wrong or the microprocessor of the transmitter doesn't operate
normally in order to output the current value of High or Low.
The sensor input value changes the response time of the transmitter into smooth
variations of output readings caused by rapid changes in input. Determine the
appropriate damping setting based on the necessary response time, signal stability,
and other requirements of the loop dynamics of your system. The default damping
value is 1.0 seconds, and can be reset to damping values between 0 - 60 seconds.
5.11.6 Configuration of Information Variable
x Set Tag
Tag Variable is an easy method to classify the transmitter in a multi-transmitter
installation environment. Tag Character can be used; up to 8 words/numbers in of
English.
x Set Messages
When use several transmitters, user can define for classification each transmitter
and use 32 words of English/number. This message is saved in EEPROM of
transmitter.
5.11.7 Configuration of Breakdown Diagnostic Function
x Loop Test
The Loop Test verifies the output of the transmitter, the integrity of the loop, and
the operations of any recorders or similar devices installed loop. Perform the
following procedure for a loop test.
a. Connect a reference meter to the transmitter.
b. Select the Loop Test of HHT and operate the Loop Test.
c.Select output current (4mA/20mA/etc.)
d. If the readings match, then the transmitter and the loop are configured and
functioning properly.
If the readings do not match, then you may have the current meter attached to the
wrong loop, there may be a fault in the wiring, the transmitter may require an
output trim, or the electrical current meter may be malfunctioning.
5.11.8 Calibration
A scaled system is implemented by calibrating the transmitter. Trim functions have
several functions for the calibration. Explosion-proof Transmitters operate differently
than analog transmitters. A Smart Transmitter uses a microprocessor that contains
information about the sensor's specific characteristics in response to pressure and
temperature inputs for calculating the Process Variable. The trim and re-range functions
also differ. Re-ranging sets the transmitter analog output to the selected upper and
lower range points and can be done with or without applied pressure. Reranging does
not change the factory characterization curve stored in the microprocessor. Sensor
trimming requires an accurate pressure input and adds additional compensation; this
adjusts the position of the factory characterization curve to optimize transmitter
performance over a specific pressure range. Re-range functions provide the ability to readjust the 4 to 20mA points sensor inputs.

6.2 Hardware Maintenance
Tek-Temp 2100A Explosion-proof Transmitters have no moving parts and require a
minimum of scheduled maintenance. Both transmitters feature modular design for easy
maintenance. If you suspect a malfunction, check for an external cause before performing
the diagnostics as discussed later in this section.
6.2.1 Test Terminals
The test terminal is marked as TEST on the terminal block. The test and negative
terminals are connected to the test terminals; so long as the voltage across the
receptacles is kept below the diode threshold voltage, no current passes through the
diode. To ensure that there is no leakage current through the diode while making a test
reading, or while an indicating meter is connected, the resistance of the test connection
or meter should not exceed 10 ohms. A resistance value of 30 ohms will cause an error
of approximately 10 % of reading.
The transmitter is designed with dual-compartment housing; one contains the
electronics module, and the other contains all wiring terminals and the communication
receptacles.

x Disassembling Electronics Structure Module
Use the following procedure to remove the electronics module:
NOTE
The electronics are sealed in a moisture-proof plastic enclosure referred to as the
electronics module. The module is a non-repairable unit; if a malfunction occurs
the entire unit must be replaced
1. Disconnect the power to the transmitter.
2. Remove the cover from the electronics side of the transmitter housing. Do not
remove the instrument cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is
alive. Remove the LCD meter, if applicable.
3. Remove the two screws that anchor the electronics module to the transmitter
housing.
4. Firmly grasp the electronics module and pull it straight out of the housing,
taking care not to damage the interconnecting pins.
NOTE
The transmitter EEP-Write jumpers and fail-mode are located on the front of the
electronics module. When it is replaced with a new one, use the same jumper
location
x Make sure that fail-mode and jumper switch are set exactly
x Insert the electronics module into the housing
x Connect the connector of sensor board with power connector
a. Misconnection of the two connectors can cause wrong output(4 to 20mA) and
b. In case of the power connector being sandwiched between board and housing, it
