Description
The Murphy RTD transmitter is designed to accept a signal from an RTD sensing
element, and to provide a linearized 4 to 20 mA output current. The output cur-
rent is directly proportional to the temperature of the RTD temperature sensor.
Since the temperature is converted to a current signal, voltage drops in the power
supply leads to the transmitter have no effect on the integrity of the signal. As long
as the transmitter has sufficient DC voltage at its terminals, it will produce a cur-
rent linearly proportional to temperature. This means that the transmitter may be
remote mounted but should be near the sensor, reducing the effects of noise and
minimizing errors due to long leads on the RTD sensor. The RTD instruments
have screw terminal connections and accept 2 or 3 wire RTD's* . They include
high resolution, 24-turn zero and span potentiometers and each unit is calibrat-
ed after a minimum of 48 hours burn-in and checkout time.

Wiring
CAUTION: Do Not connect power to the RTD input. Do Not
connect power to the RTD itself. Do Not use AC line power.
The terminal strip on the transmitter accepts 14 to 22 gauge wires. Copper wire is
to be used since special compensation wire is not required. Route all transmitter
wiring in separate conduit to isolate it from high voltage or high current carrying
lines. It is also recommended that shielded wire be used for the 4-20 mA signal.
*Three wire RTD's compensate for leadwire resistance.

Transmitters are designed for a nominal 24 VDC power supply. They will
operate with a 13 to 40 VDC supply at the transmitter power supply terminals.
Use the following formulas to determine maximum resistive loading (RL)
allowed for the power supply used, or to determine minimum supply voltage (V)
required for fixing resistive loads. Formulas assume a max. current of 20 mA.
