3.3. Principle of operation

DT4120 xx xx (PS) Resistance Thermometer enable
process temperature, resistance value or potentiometer's
wiper position to be displayed on the control panel.
Pt100 / Pt500 / Pt1000 temperature sensor, resistor or
potentiometer can be connected to the input of the
instrument, either with 2, 3 or 4 wire.
Large 14.2 mm height LED display make process value
easily visible at a distance. The displayed value is
proportional to the temperature (sensing by Pt100 / Pt500 /
Pt1000 sensors) or to the resistor value or to the position of
potentiometer's wiper.
Easy on-site configuration through the front panel
membrane keypad is a major advantage of the
microcontroller-based technology. The configuration
parameters: input type, input connection, signal filtering,
output scaling, display refresh rate, limit modes, limit values,
etc. are stored in EEPROM. The settings are protected by a
two-level password against unauthorized manipulation.
Options:
Two normally open relay contacts (SPST) for limit
switching or for simple control tasks.
4-20 mA / 0-20 mA galvanic isolated scaleable analogue
output. The output can be active (A) or passive (P).
RS232 galvanic isolated communication output with
MODBUS RTU slave protocol. Only one instrument can be
connected to the PLC or to the computer.
RS485 galvanic isolated communication output with
MODBUS RTU slave protocol. 32 instruments can be
connected to the PLC or to the computer.
Note: either analogue or communication option can be
implemented at the same time.
