  • Page 4: Getting Started Description

    GETTING STARTED DESCRIPTION Symbols on equipment: The DT233-0600 Dual Transmitter provides two isolated ANSI/ISA Type II transmitter channels for thermocouple/mV input signals that drive two isolated loop-powered passive current outputs. This model interfaces with thermocouple Type J, K, T, R, S, B, E, N, or ±100mV input signals at separately isolated inputs, and modulates two isolated 2-wire current loops proportional to their respective input.

    Earth ground is normally applied at the loop power supply minus terminal. Each 2-wire transmitter output varies off this ground by the voltage drop in the load resistance and lead-wire of the loop. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0880 - 8 - - 8 - https://www.acromag.com...
