4.2 Thermocouple input

Model T91.10.102
The positive lead of the thermocouple is connected to terminal
TC+ on the transmitter and the negative lead to terminal TC-.
Transmitter output signal: 0 ... 10 V / 3-wire design

Model T91.20.141
The positive lead of the thermocouple is connected to terminal
TC+ on the transmitter and the negative lead to terminal TC-.
Transmitter output signal: 4 ... 20 mA / 2-wire design

Maximum power supply: 15 …35 VDC

(reverse-polarity protected)

The output voltage follows the applied input signal linearly. Please
note that the output can only be regulated to within approx. 0.002
V at the lower supply voltage. (model T91.10.424 approx. 0.02 V).

Maximum power supply: 10 …35 VDC

(reverse-polarity protected)

In the current loop the transmitter and the indicator/processor are
connected in series. The transmitter regulates the current in
proportion to the input signal. The load can be connected either to
the positive or negative terminals of the transmitter. With the load
connected to the positive terminal, the power supply and load
may not have a common earth.

5. Transmitter adjustment

Zero point and Span adjustment is carried out via potentiometers.
These are on the upper face of the transmitter.
The potentiometers are protected against accidental alteration.
The zero-point potentiometer can be adjusted to make small
corrections. After any adjustment of the span potentiometer,
a complete adjustment of the transmitter is necessary.

5.1 Preparation

Connect a suitable simulation source to the input of the T91
(Pt100 or thermocouple simulator). When simulating a Pt100,
connect the simulator in a 2- or 3-wire configuration. We re-

commend the use of passive resistances.
When simulating a thermocouple, the actual terminal temperature
of the transmitter must be pre-set on the simulator (Cold Junction
Compensation).

T

Connect a mA meter in the 4 ... 20 mA-loop or a multimeter to
the 0 … 10 V output signal

T

Connect a suitable power supply to the transmitter

5.2 Adjustment of the 0 … 10 V output signal

1) Set the simulator with approx. 1 V offset from the lower limit of

the measuring range (e.g. -20 °C = 1 V for measurement range
-30 ... +70 °C)

2) Turn the zero potentiometer Z, until the output signal (in our

example -20 °C = 1 V output signal) matches the desired value

3) Set the end value of the measurement range with the simulator,

e.g. +70 °C for measurement range -30 ... +70 °C

4) Turn the span potentiometer S, until the output signal (in our

example 70 °C = 10 V) matches the desired value.

5) Repeat step 1 and check signal (1 V)
6) Repeat step 3 and check signal (10 V)

5.3 Adjustment of the 4 … 20 mA output signal

1) Set the lower value of the measurement range with the

simulator, e.g. -30 °C for measurement range -30 ... +50 °C

2) Turn the zero potentiometer Z , until the output signal shows

the desired value

3) Set the end value of the measurement range with the simulator,

e.g. +50 °C for measurement range -30 ... +50 °C

4) Turn the span potentiometer S, until the output signal shows

the desired value

5) Repeat step 1 and check output signal of zero point
6) Repeat step 3 and check output signal of span

5.4 Closing steps

Disconnect the simulator, the multimeter and the power supply

6. Fault diagnostics

When measuring with resistance thermometers or thermocouples,
factors arising from the design and measuring technology used
can falsify the results measured. The most important effects that
can lead to faults are listed below:

Error

Possible cause

No voltage output

- No supply voltage
- Display unit not working
- Circuit interruption in the supply line
- 4-20 mA output: polarity in the loop is

not correct

- Short circuit in the Pt100

2) corresponds to room temperature

- Short circuit in the thermocouple
