    MiniPuck Model ST132-06x0 Two-Wire TC/mV Transmitter ________________________________________________________________________________ The ST132-0600 is an ANSI/ISA Type II transmitter designed to interface DESCRIPTION with a TC (Thermocouple) sensor, or ±100mV input, and modulate a 4- 20mA current signal for a two-wire current loop. This unit is setup and calibrated using the included software and a USB connection to Windows- based PC’s.
