Temperature Transmitter-Configuration Setup

04/18/2012 1:11 PM

Configuring a 4-20mA temp. transmitter.

Operating: 255F@15psi Max: 650F Max: 20psi

Range I want to be 0-650F(it will most likely never see 650F).

On my configuration to the transmitter, I need to specify 4mA value _____ and 20mA

value____. I will input 0 for 4mA and 650F for 20mA.

I would like if some one can confirm my input values are correct.

That's assuming of course that it operates in a range of 0 to 650 deg F.

What type of transmitter is being used?

yep there are correct, play around with the gain...ie build a mathematical eqution and check for 255F it should give u 15psi.
