RECEIVING AND UNPACKING

4.1 Mechanical The TX203P transmitter has been specifically designed to fit inside a DIN standard probe head enclosure (such as the SCH-4 series), which provides adequate protection from moisture, dust, corrosive atmosphere etc. All cable entries must be sealed using the correct size gland. Likewise any probe assembly fitted must be sealed. Care must be taken when locating the transmitter to ensure the working ambient temperature range of (-40 to 85) C is not exceeded. The TX203P enclosure has a centre hole allowing the sensor wired to enter screw terminals from the transmitter centre, this is applicable when the sensor is mounted directly below the transmitter. 4.2 Electrical Electrical connections to the transmitter are made to the screw terminal provided on the top face. The sensor wires must be equal length and type for the lead compensation to work correctly. The screw terminals allow for wires to enter either inner or outer direction. The transmitter is protected against reverse connection and over voltage. If no sensor (input) connection is made the transmitter will go into either up or down scale output current, depending on configuration. Figure 2 gives connection details, the output is shown connected to a 24 V supply. The load symbol represent any other device connected in the loop, such as Monitoring equipment , panel indicators and loop isolators. The load value can range from 0 ohms to the max loop load for given supply, refer to section 3 Max load for more information. The transmitter conforms with EC directive BS EN 61326 : 1998 when correctly installed in a termination head providing at least IP20 protection and with sensor wires less than 3 metres. Screened or twisted pair wires are recommended for output wires. Always ensure the (4 to 20 ) mA loop is grounded at one point, this would normally be at the monitoring equipment or loop power supply. In normal operation the program LED acts as over-range LED.

43.0 mm 1.0 DESCRIPTION 33.0 mm CENTRES The TX203P head mounted temperature transmitter connects to any standard pt100 resistance sensor and converts the linearised temperature to a (4 to 20) mA signal. The transmitter is a two wire device, and is fully configurable by the user, over a wide temperature range, with the aid of a simple push button. This new TX203P design incorporates additional configuration menus, allowing the user to push button trim the transmitter output at both zero and span, ideal for trimming out sensor errors. The transmitters advanced circuitry guaranties high stability over the wide operating ambient temperature ranges experienced by head mounted devices. One of the transmitters features is the program LED, which provides visual indication of sensor fault when in normal operation and is also used to guide the operator through the simple menus during configuration.

5.0 USER CONFIGURATION IMPORTANT READ COMPLETE SECTION BEFORE ATTEMPTING CONFIGURATION PARTICULAR CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN REGARDING TIMEOUTS IN MENU 2 & 3 Using Menus Menu 1 Range configuration (No Timeout) Menu 3 User trim (Timeout is 20 Seconds) This menu allows the user to trim the output current at 4 mA and 20 mA points, (similar function to trim potentiometers) and is very useful for trimming out sensor errors. The input of the transmitter must be connected to either a calibrator or a temperature sensor held at a known temperature. The (4 to 20) mA loop current will also need to be monitored with a current meter. Refer to figure 3, connect sensor or resistance box to TX203P input terminals using three wire connection. Connect output to a DC supply, observe polarity, connect current meter in series with loop. Turn power on and allow 1 minute warm up period. Set calibrator to the equivalent resistance of the pt100 sensor, at required trim point. Alternatively ensure sensor temperature is at the required calibration point. The transmitter will automatically trim the 4 mA end if the output is within the active band of (3.8 to 6 ) mA, and trim the 20 mA end if the output is within the active band of (18 to 21.5 ) mA . No setting adjustment is performed if the output current is not within these two bands. Ensure your calibration points are within these bands. Press and hold button > 2 seconds to enter menus, menu 1 will then be selected, indicated by one flash every burst. Single press button to advance selection to menu 2, and single press again to select menu 3 indicated by three flashes of the program LED every burst. Whilst menu 3 is selected, press and hold button > 2 seconds to enter menu 3, at which stage the program LED toggle on and off at either a slow rate indicating downward trim direction or fast rate indicating upwards trim direction. To change trim direction double press button. The Program LED toggle rate will toggle to the opposite direction. Repeated double presses will toggle between up and down trim direction To trim output current, single press button to advance current 2 uA in set direction, or press and hold button to auto advance in set direction release button to stop advance. Note after approximately 20 seconds of continuous button press, the auto trim rate will speed up. Monitor the current change on the current meter. To store new setting allow 20 seconds with no button action, the program will then timeout, store new setting then return to normal operation.
