Model Description
(2) Includes hysteresis, conformity and repeatability at reference conditions. Does not include CJC error.
(3) Shipped as PT 100 for 3-wire connection, 0 to 600°C range, 4 to 20mA output, open circuit detect =
21.6mA output.
(4) Submit configuration form shown on page 180, and factory will assign part number prior to order
entry.
(5) Many different ranges may be programmed as long as the min/max limits are observed. For minimum
range examples, a K type thermocouple could be programmed for +30°C to +78.5°C, or +100°C to
+149°C, or +900°C to 995°C, and so on.
