Temperature Transmitter Installation E-1

Appendix E
Temperature Transmitter
Installation
The TransPort requires a supply and return temperature input to
measure energy rate and consumption. You must connect the
temperature sensors to a 4 to 20 mA transmitter (powered by the
TransPort or externally) and then from the transmitter to the
TransPort (a special GE Panametrics cable is required to make
transmitter to TransPort connections).
GE Panametrics can supply the Resistive Temperature Device
(RTD) and a Dual Transmitter (DTR) or you may supply your
own. If you supply your own equipment, you will need to order a
special GE Panametrics cable with a LEMO connector to make
connections from the transmitter to the TransPort.
To install the RTDs, you need to do the following:
• find a suitable installation site
• mount RTDs on the pipe
• make electrical connections
Use the instructions that follow to install the RTDs.
