TxMini INTRODUCTION TxMini Transmitter is a two-wire 4-20 mA type temperature transmitter powered by the current loop. To configure it, you must use the SigNow software or app. The output current is linearized according to the signal applied to the transmitter input and adjusted according to the configured scale.
TxMini SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES TXMINI Configurable. The accepted sensors are listed in Table 2, with their respective maximum measurement ranges. Pt100: 3-wire type, 0.8 mA excitation, α = 0.00384, according to NBR 13773. IEC 60751 (ITS-90). Sensor input Pt1000: 3-wire type, 0.8 mA excitation, α = 0.00384, according to NBR 13773. IEC 60751 (ITS-90).
TxMini MECHANICAL INSTALLATION TxMini Transmitter is suitable for installation in pipes and in places with limited space. Vibrations, excessive humidity and temperature, electromagnetic interference, high voltage, and other interference can permanently damage the transmitter and cause errors in the measured value.
TxMini ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION The terminal housing is made of polyamide. • Wire size used: 0.14 to 1.5 mm². • INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS Input signal conductors should run through the plant separate from output and supply conductors. If possible, in grounded conduits.
To change the configuration of your TxMini, you must use the SigNow software or app. To configure the device using the software, connect the TxMini to a TxConfig-USB and then connect the TxConfig-USB to the USB port on the computer being used.
TxMini 5.3.1 CONNECTING THE DEVICE TO YOUR COMPUTER Once the TxConfig-USB has been connected to the TxMini, connect the transmitter to the computer's USB port and run SigNow, which will display the following screen: Figure 4 Home screen To establish a communication, click on Configuration USB:...
TxMini 5.3.2 CONFIGURATION SECTION By clicking on the General tab, you can configure the device: Figure 6 Configuration section The bottom part of the screen displays information about the device, such as name, serial number, and firmware version. 1. Sensor type: Allows you to select the type of sensor to be used.
TxMini SIGNOW APP The SigNow app is the ideal tool for using the TxMini-M12 on a daily basis. Available for Android smartphones, it is always easily accessible for monitoring or configuring the device. SigNow can be downloaded for free from Google Play Store.

Apart from the particularities of the connection mode, the parameters and division of information are the same as in the SigNow software. More specific information about the application's buttons can be found in the SigNow manual, available on NOVUS website.
TxMini OPERATION You can use SigNow software or app to change the sensor Offset. The USB connection can be made even when the transmitter is connected to the process and operating, without causing errors in the measurement. You must choose the sensor and range best suited to your process. The chosen range must not exceed the maximum measurement range defined for the sensor and must not be smaller than the minimum range for the same sensor.
