The process temperature can be configured for display in either °F or °C and the update of the readings is user-selectable between 0.25 to 2 seconds, according to the filter on the readings. Accuracy of the display is better that 0.1% of the programmed range, ± 1 digit. Set-up is simple and rapid via three keys mounted at the bottom of the display.

With a ½" NPT conduit entry, ½" NPT sensor connection and universal electronics, this new temperature transmitter can be used with virtually every type of RTD and Thermocouple. The transmitter has galvanic isolation, is 2-wire loop powered, and can be configured to provide a 4-20 mAdc, 20-4mAdc or 4-20 mAdc/HART signal output. Accuracy of the output signal is 0.08%.
