1.1 Unpacking Remove the packing list and verify that you have received all equipment. If you have any questions, contact the nearest Customer Service Department, as listed on the cover of this manual. Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any signs of damage.
1.3 General Description 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 available for the transmitter.

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 RTD element to the (+IN) and (-IN) input terminals.
Select, from Table 3-1, the correct ohmic values for the Z (zero) and S (span) adjustments that correspond to the model number. For example, for Model TX94A-2, the Z value is 92.95 ohms, and the S value is 135.84 ohms.
4.1 Troubleshooting Guide Malfunction or incorrect operation may be caused by: Incorrect Readings: Check for improper wiring using Figure 2-2 as a guide. 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...
