RIO4000 Sensor Model
General
Specifications
The RIO4000 is the RTD measure and simulate module for the
Yokogawa
accurately measures or simulates the resistance of 22 different RTD
sensor types with nominal resistance to 4000 ohms. 2-, 3-, and 4wire RTDs are supported and RTD material may be platinum, copper,
nickel or iron. Several alpha coefficients are supported per Table 1
on page 2. The module can simulate temperature to all conventional
or smart RTD transmitters and signal conditioners including those
utilizing pulsed excitation current.
The YPC converts measured resistance to a corresponding
temperature value and displays the value in the user-selected
temperature unit (°F, °C, °R or °K). Ohms can also be displayed for
direct reading or troubleshooting assistance. Pt 100 RTDs are
available from Yokogawa for use with the module. These 4-wire, DIN
Class A probes come complete with handle, 5’ coiled cable, and
connector. Accessory connectors are available to connect to any RTD
or RTD transmitter for temperature measurement or simulation
needs. Simulations are supported through setup controls that allow
the user to enter a specific temperature, a range of temperatures
stepped through with manual or automatic advance or a temperature
range with automatic ramping advance for a selected time period.

Field recalibration of the module is provided by the YPC’s “Rcal”
feature. “Rcal” can be used to re-calibrate the module alone or the
module with dedicated RTD for “match set” accuracy. The module
+ RTD option provides the best possible measurement accuracy for
the most demanding measurement applications.
The RIO4000 and a dedicated DIN Class A RTD makes an
excellent temperature reference standard for comparison to RTDs
installed in process applications. The RIO4000 and user cable
provides convenient RTD measurement and simulation capability.

Table 1: Supported RTD Materials / Nominal Resistance
The adjacent table lists the RTDs supported by the RIO4000 module
and YPC 4000 Series. Materials, types and alpha coefficients are
based on popular RTDs used in the field.
Yokogawa offers Pt 100 accessory probes that are automatically
recognized by the RIO4000 module. No set up is necessary on the
YPC. Users can configure their own reference RTDs similarly by
using the accessory connector and Rs resistor (Probe ID resistor
listed in adjacent table) to connect their RTD. This technique allows
the module to automatically recognize the connected RTD and recall
its characteristics. If no Rs resistor is used, a copper wire must be
installed in its place. This causes an RTD selection menu to
automatically appear on the YPC display, enabling the user to
configure the YPC for use with any supported RTD type.
