1.3 General Description (continued) The transmitter is normally powered by an unregulated power supply as shown in Figure 1-1. The proportionally-transmitted signal begins at 4mA, at the low end of its temperature range, and increases to 20mA, at the high end of its temperature range. (There are various temperature ranges/ thermocouple types available for the transmitter.
1.3 General Description (continued) Most thermocouple transmitters with 4-20 mA outputs, including this transmitter , are proportional with respect to the thermocouple input voltage. However, the relationship between temperature and millivolt for all the thermocouple types is somewhat non-linear. This leads to maximum error at approximately the midpoint of the range as shown in Figure 1-2.

2.2 Wiring Refer to Figure 2-2 Connect a dc power supply in series with the load to the (+PS) and (-PS) power terminals. Note that the load (usually a monitoring instrument) may be connected to either the (+) or (-) power lead. Connect the thermocouple to the (+IN) and (-IN) input terminals.

Select, from Table 3-1, the correct mV input values for the Z (zero) and S (span) adjustments that correspond to the model number. For example, for Model TX93A-J2, the Z input is -0.886 mV, and the S input is 4.907 mV.
4.1 Troubleshooting Guide (continued) Loose or broken wires: Check each terminal connection for tightness. Move each wire back and forth and note any changes in operation. Too high a load resistance in the output current loop or too low a current rating on the power supply: Measure the total resistance of each device (excluding the transmitter and power supply) in the 20 mA loop, including...
