External Pt100 RTD probe and probe connector The TF5 is equipped with a 4-pin Binder connector series 712 and is compatible with any of the ROTRONIC Pt100 RTD probes (see separate manual E-M-Pt100-Probes). In principle, the TF5 can be used with any third...
The analog signal is always 4…20 mA, TF53 The ROTRONIC HW4 software allows changing the type of output signal to one of the following: 0…20 mA, 4…20 mA, 0…1V, 0…5V or 0…10V. No calibration or adjustment is required after changing the type of output signal.
The service connector is a UART digital interface (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) with a mini- USB type connector. This allows connecting the TF5 either to a PC running the ROTRONIC HW4 software or to a probe input of another instrument that is compatible with the HygroClip 2 (HC2) probes. In both cases a service cable is required.
