CONSIDERATIONS  
General  
Electrical temperature sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples  
produce low-level signals proportional to their sensed temperature. The  
Models 244EH and 244ER transmitters convert the low-level sensor  
signal to a standard 4–20 mA dc signal that is relatively insensitive to  
lead length and electrical noise. This current signal is then transmitted  
to the control room via two wires.  
Mechanical  
When choosing an installation location and position, take into account  
the need for access to the transmitter.  
Wiring Connections  
Make wiring connections through the cable entry in the side of the  
connection head. Be sure to provide adequate clearance for  
cover removal.  
Electrical  
Proper electrical installation is necessary to prevent errors due to  
sensor lead resistances and electrical noise. Shielded cable should be  
used in electrically noisy environments.  
Environmental  
The transmitter electronics module is permanently sealed within the  
housing, resisting moisture and corrosive damage. Verify that the  
operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the  
appropriate hazardous locations certifications.

MOUNTING  
The Model 244EH installs in a connection head or universal head  
mounted directly on a sensor assembly, apart from a sensor assembly  
using a universal head, or to a DIN rail using an optional mounting  
clip. The Model 244ER mounts directly to a wall or to a DIN rail.  
The Models 244EH and 244ER transmitters will operate within  
specifications for ambient temperatures between –40 and 185 °F  
(–40 and 85 °C).  
In a direct mounting configuration using a Model 244EH transmitter,  
process heat is transferred from the thermowell to the transmitter via  
the connection head. If the expected connection head temperature is  
near or beyond specification limits, consider the use of additional  
thermowell lagging, an extension nipple, or a remote mounting  
configuration to isolate the transmitter from excessive temperatures.  
Figure 2-2 provides an example of the relationship between transmitter  
housing temperature rise and extension length. Use Figure 2-2 as a  
guide for determining adequate thermowell extension length.

Example  
The transmitter specification limit is 85 °C. If the ambient temperature  
is 55 °C and the process temperature to be measured is 800 °C, the  
maximum permissible connection head temperature rise is the  
transmitter specification limit minus the ambient temperature  
(85 –55 °C), or 30 °C. In this case, an extension of 100 mm meets this  
requirement, but 125 mm provides a margin of 8 °C, thereby reducing  
any temperature effects in the transmitter.

Multichannel Installations  
Several transmitters can be connected to a single master power supply  
as shown in Figure 2-9. In this case, the system may be grounded only  
at the negative power supply terminal. In multichannel installations  
where several transmitters depend on one power supply and the loss of  
all transmitters would cause operational problems, consider a back-up  
battery or power supply that cannot be interrupted. The diodes shown  
in Figure 2-9 prevent unwanted charging or discharging of the  
back-up battery.

Screen Conventions  
The Models 244EH and 244ER Configuration Software follows the  
Microsoft Windows screen conventions with the following exception:  
Configuration parameters change color to indicate fields where  
information has changed. Before placing a new transmitter into service,  
or before returning a transmitter to service after changing  
configuration information, verify that the values in the fields that have  
been changed reflect the correct configuration parameters for your  
application. For example, if you change the Sensor Type field to PT100–  
Alpha 392, the Number of Wires, Units, 4 mA Point, and 20 mA Point  
fields all change to reflect the default PT100–Alpha 392 sensor values.  
Verify all information before placing the transmitter into service.  
Model 244EC Configuration  
Interface  
The Model 244EC Configuration Interface is a portable, self-contained  
link between your PC and a Model 244. The Model 244EC connects to a  
PC serial port with a standard 9-pin interconnecting plug and connects  
to a transmitter with two MINIGRABBERclips.  
The Model 244EC will also operate using a wall power adapter or a  
single replaceable 9-volt battery.  
Setting Up the Model 244EC Configuration Interface  
All necessary power is provided through the configuration leads from  
the Model 244EC to the transmitter. The sensor does not need to be  
disconnected in order to configure the transmitter.  
To set up the Model 244EC Configuration Interface and prepare it for  
use, refer to Figure 2-10 on page 2-12 and follow the procedure  
described below.  
1. Install the 9-volt battery in the Model 244EC. Be sure the power  
switch remains in the “OFF” position.  
2. Attach the ribbon cable from the Model 244EC to the serial port of  
your PC using the 9-pin interconnecting plug. If your PC has a  
25-pin serial port, you will need a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter to  
accommodate the connection.  
NOTE  
It is not necessary to power down your PC before you attach the  
Model 244EC. However, if you are using a desktop model, you may wish  
to power down to reduce the risk of electric shock or computer damage.  
3. Attach the configuration leads to the Model 244EC using the  
banana jacks provided. Be sure to observe proper polarity—attach  
the red lead to the positive (+) jack on the Model 244EC and the  
black lead to the negative (–) jack.  
4. Attach the configuration leads to the configuration terminals  
(labeled “PROG”) on the transmitter using the MINIGRABBER  
clips provided. Be sure to observe proper polarity—attach the red  
lead to the positive (+) terminal on the transmitter and the black  
lead to the negative (–) terminal.

FIELD WIRING  
All power to the transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring. Use  
ordinary copper wire of sufficient size to ensure that the voltage across  
the transmitter power terminals does not drop below 12.0 V dc.  
If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault  
condition or installation error occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter  
terminals could carry lethal voltages. Use extreme caution when  
making contact with the leads and terminals.  
NOTE  
Do not apply high voltage (e.g., ac line voltage) to the transmitter  
terminals. Abnormally high voltage can damage the unit. (Sensor and  
transmitter power terminals are rated to 42.4 V dc.)  
For multichannel installations, see “Multichannel Installations” on  
page 2-9. The transmitters will accept inputs from a variety of RTD and  
thermocouple types. Refer to Figure 2-12 on page 2-15 when making  
sensor connections.

Use the following steps to wire the transmitter:  
1. Connect the positive lead from the power supply to the transmitter  
terminal marked “+” and the negative lead to the transmitter  
terminal marked “” (see Figure 2-11 and Figure 2-13).  
2. Tighten the terminal compression screws to ensure adequate  
contact. No additional power wiring is required.  
3. After making connections, recheck the polarity and correctness of  
connections, then turn the power on.

Sensor Connections  
The Models 244E are compatible with a number of RTD and  
thermocouple sensor types. Figure 2-12 shows the correct input  
connections to the sensor terminals on the transmitter. To ensure  
proper sensor connections, anchor the sensor lead wires into the  
appropriate compression terminals and tighten the screws.  
RTD or Ohm Inputs  
The transmitters will accept a variety of RTD configurations, including  
2-wire, 3-wire, 4-wire, and compensation loop designs. If the  
transmitter is mounted remotely from a 3-wire or 4-wire RTD, it will  
operate within specifications, without recalibration, for lead wire  
resistances of up to 10 ohms per lead (equivalent to 1,000 feet of  
20 AWG wire). In this case, the leads between the RTD and transmitter  
should be shielded. If using only two leads, both RTD leads are in series  
with the sensor element, so significant errors can occur if the lead  
lengths exceed three feet of 20 AWG wire (approximately 0.05 °C/ft).  
For longer runs, attach a third or fourth lead as described above.

Sensor Lead Wire Resistance Effect  
RTD Input  
When using a 4-wire RTD, the effect of lead resistance is eliminated  
and has no impact on accuracy. However, a 3-wire sensor will not  
fully cancel lead resistance error because it cannot compensate for  
imbalances in resistance between the lead wires. Using the same  
type of wire on all three lead wires will make a 3-wire RTD  
installation as accurate as possible. A 2-wire sensor will produce the  
largest error because it directly adds the lead wire resistance to the  
sensor resistance. For 2- and 3-wire RTDs, an additional lead wire  
resistance error is induced with ambient temperature variations.  
The table and the examples shown below help quantify these errors.

FAILURE MODE  
The Models 244EH and 244ER features software driven alarm  
diagnostics and an independent circuit. These features are designed to  
provide separate backup alarm output in case the microprocessor,  
electronics, hardware, or software fails. The alarm levels are user  
selectable using the Failure Mode Switch. The position of the jumper  
determines the direction in which the output is driven (HI or LO) in  
case of alarm. The jumper switch feeds into the Digital-to-Analog (D/A)  
converter, which drives the proper alarm output even if the  
microprocessor fails.  
The values to which the transmitter drives its output in failure mode  
depend on whether it is factory configured to standard or  
NAMUR-compliant operation. See “Failure Mode” on page A-2 for  
these parameters.  
To determine the failure mode configuration of a transmitter, review  
the low and high alarm levels on the SERVICE menu provided by the  
configuration software.  
Changing Switch Positions  
To change the failure mode on the Model 244EH or 244ER transmitter,  
follow the steps described below.  
1. If the transmitter is mounted in an enclosure, remove the  
enclosure cover.  
2. Locate the orange failure mode switch. The switch is located near  
the power terminals on the Model 244EH and in the center of the  
front panel on the Model 244ER (see Figure 2-13).  
3. Move the switch to the desired alarm setting. To set the failure  
mode to high alarm, position the switch toward the “HI” mark on  
the terminal block; to set the failure mode to low alarm, position  
the switch in the opposite direction.  
4. Replace the enclosure cover (if applicable). Enclosure covers must  
be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.

Operation  
SAFETY MESSAGES  
Warning  
Instructions and procedures in this section may require special  
precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the  
operations. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated  
by a warning symbol ( ). Please refer to the following safety messages  
before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.  
If the transmitter is installed in a measurement loop, disconnect power to the transmitter  
before beginning to set up the Model 244EC Configuration Interface. If the Model 244EC  
connects to a transmitter while the transmitter is powered in a measurement loop, the  
Model 244EC will shunt the electrical current, possibly resulting in a dangerous situation  
within the measurement loop.  
POWER SUPPLY  
Surges/Transients  
The dc power supply should provide power with a ripple that is less  
than two percent of the nominal supply voltage. The total resistance  
load is the sum of the resistance of the signal leads and the lead  
resistance of any controller, indicator, or related piece of equipment in  
the loop. Note that the resistance of intrinsic safety barriers, if used,  
must be included.  
The transmitter will withstand electrical transients of the energy level  
usually encountered in static discharges or induced switching  
transients. However, high-energy transients, such as those induced by  
lightning strikes, welding, heavy electrical equipment, or switch gears,  
can damage both the transmitter and the sensor.  
To protect against high-energy transients, install Models 244E into a  
suitable connection head with the Rosemount Model 470 Transient  
Protector. The Model 470 prevents damage from transients induced by  
lightning, welding, heavy electrical equipment, or switching gears.  
Refer to the Model 470 Transient Protector Product Data Sheet  
(document number 00813-0100-4191) for more information.

Rosemount Models 244EH and 244ER PC-Programmable Temperature Transmitters  
Grounding  
The transmitter will operate with the current signal loop either floating  
or grounded. However, the extra noise in floating systems affects many  
types of readout devices. If the signal appears noisy or erratic,  
grounding the current signal loop at a single point may solve the  
problem. The best place to ground the loop is at the negative terminal  
of the power supply.  
The transmitter is electrically isolated to 500 V ac rms, so the input  
circuit also may be grounded at a single point. When using a grounded  
thermocouple, the grounded junction serves as this point. Do not  
ground the current signal loop at more than one point.  
NOTE  
Do not ground the signal wire at both ends.

Viewing the Process  
Variable  
With version 2.0 and later of the Model 244EC Configuration Interface,  
users can view the measured temperature (PV) by selecting SERVICE  
from the menu bar of the main configuration window (see Figure 3-2).  
In order to view a valid PV, a temperature sensor must be connected to  
the Model 244E transmitter, and the transmitter must be configured  
properly for that sensor type. The PV will be automatically updated on  
the Model 244EC screen approximately two times per second.  
Figure 3-2. Viewing the Process

INTERMITTENT SENSOR  
ALGORITHM  
The electronics of the Model 244E transmitter contains an intermittent  
sensor algorithm that monitors the input signal during operation. The  
signal diagnostics routine, which occurs at each temperature update  
(every 500 milliseconds), eliminates output pulsing in an intermittent  
open sensor condition. Further, it validates the input signal before the  
digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion takes place.  
If the process temperature changes, the intermittent sensor algorithm  
causes the transmitter to respond according to one of the three cases  
described below. Threshold value is the maximum change in reading (as  
a percentage of output range) within one update cycle (500 ms). The  
threshold value of the Model 244E is 2% of output range.

Rosemount Models 244EH and 244ER PC-Programmable Temperature Transmitters  
Case Examples  
Case 1: Open Sensor  
If the algorithm detects an open sensor, the transmitter immediately  
goes into alarm (high or low, depending on the position of the failure  
mode switch).  
Case 2: Temperature Change Greater than the  
Threshold Value(2% of Output Range)  
If the algorithm detects a process temperature change (T) greater  
than the threshold value (2 % of the output range), but which is not a  
true open sensor condition, the transmitter will go into a hold period.  
During the hold period, the transmitter determines whether or not this  
temperature measurement is valid by using the three additional  
measurement points. In the meantime, the output remains unchanged  
at the initial reading (Time = 0 ms).  
A) If these next three readings are within the new threshold value  
(at Time = 500 ms), this measurement is validated. The output  
changes to reflect this and the transmitter is no longer in a hold  
period. In this case, the output delay is 1.75 to 2.00 seconds.

B) If the reading drops back within the original threshold value (at  
Time = 0 ms) during the hold period, the transmitter interprets the  
reading(s) outside the threshold value as a spike, and the output  
changes to reflect the latest reading. The transmitter is no longer in  
a hold period, and the spike is not seen at the output.

C) If any of the next three measurements is outside the new  
threshold value (at Time = 500 ms), the output remains unchanged  
at the initial reading (Time = 0 ms). the transmitter remains in a  
hold period until four consecutive measurements are within the  
threshold value of the first in the series.

Case 3: Temperature Change Within the  
Threshold Value (2 % of Range)  
If the transmitter detects an input change that is within the threshold  
value, it reports the new value within one output cycle (500 ms).  
Intermittent Sensor  
Algorithm and Damping  
If the transmitter has both intermittent sensor detect and damping  
enabled, the output reading is calculated by the following formula:  
2T U  
Damped Value = (P N) × ----------------- + N  
2T + U  
P = previous damped value  
N = new sensor value  
T = damping time constant  
U = update rate  
The transmitter outputs the corresponding value on the damping curve  
within 1.75 to 2.0 seconds and updates the output reading every 500 ms  
thereafter, according to the damping equation above. At the value to  
which the damping time constant is set, the transmitter output is at  
63% of the input change.

Rosemount Models 244EH and 244ER PC-Programmable Temperature Transmitters  
Figure 4-1 illustrates an example of intermittent sensor detect with  
damping enabled. If the temperature undergoes a step change greater  
than the threshold value, or from 100 degrees to 110 degrees, and the  
damping is set to 5.0 seconds, the transmitter calculates a new reading  
every 500 ms using the damping equation, but holds the output at  
100 degrees for between 1.75 and 2.0 seconds. Within 1.75 and  
2.0 seconds, the transmitter outputs the reading that corresponds to  
the damping curve at that time ( ), and continues to calculate and  
update the output reading every 500 ms thereafter ( ) according to the  
damping equation. After 5 seconds, the transmitter outputs  
106.3 degrees, or 63% of the input change ( ), and the output  
continues to approach the input curve according to the equation above.  
NOTE  
If the damping time constant is set between 0 and 2 seconds, the  
transmitter does not report the output change until the intermittent  
sensor algorithm validates the input signal. After validating the input  
signal, the transmitter outputs the value that corresponds to the  
damping curve at that time.

Intermittent Sensor Detect  
(Advanced Feature)  
NOTE  
The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is not available when using a  
Model 244EH with software revision 5.5.1. To determine the software  
version of a Model 244E temperature transmitter, first connect the  
transmitter to the Model 244EC configurator, open the Model 244EC  
software configuration tool, and then choose “service” from the Model  
244EC software menu.  
The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is designed to guard against  
process temperature readings caused by intermittent open sensor  
conditions (an intermittent sensor condition is an open sensor condition  
that lasts less than 0.7 seconds). By default, the transmitter is shipped  
with the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature switched ON. In most  
applications, this is the preferred setting. The Intermittent Sensor  
Detect feature can be switched ON or OFF with the Model 244EC. The  
setting of this feature cannot be changed when using a Model 244E  
with version 5.5.1 software and a Model 244EC version 2.0 or earlier.

Transmitter Behavior with Intermittent Sensor Detect ON  
When the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is switched ON, the  
transmitter can eliminate the output pulse caused by intermittent open  
sensor conditions. Process temperature changes (T) within 2% of the  
output range will be tracked normally by the transmitter’s output. A T  
greater than 2% of the output range will activate the intermittent  
sensor algorithm. True open sensor conditions will cause the  
transmitter to go into alarm.  
Transmitter Behavior with Intermittent Sensor Detect OFF  
When the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is switched OFF, the  
transmitter tracks all process temperature changes, even if they are the  
consequence of an intermittent sensor. The output delay due to the  
intermittent sensor algorithm will be eliminated.  
Implementation  
The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature can be turned ON or OFF using  
a Model 244E transmitter with software version 5.4.1 or earlier with  
the Model 244EC software configuration tool when the transmitter is  
connected to the Model 244EC Configurator.  
Turning the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature OFF does not affect the  
time needed for the transmitter to output the correct alarm signal after  
detecting a true open sensor condition. However, the transmitter may  
briefly output a false temperature reading for less than 0.5 seconds in  
either direction (see Figure 3-4) up to100% of output range.

Rosemount Models 244EH and 244ER PC-Programmable Temperature Transmitters  
Ambient Temperature Effect  
Transmitters can be installed in locations where the ambient  
temperature is between –40 and 85 °C (–40 and 185 °F). At the factory,  
each transmitter is individually characterized over this ambient  
temperate range. This special manufacturing technique is  
accomplished through hot and cold temperature profiling with  
individual adjustment factors programmed into each transmitter. The  
transmitters automatically adjust for component temperature drift  
caused by changing environmental conditions.

When using a Type J thermocouple with a –50 °C to 600 °C  
temperature range at an ambient temperature of 60 °C and a reading of  
–25 °C, the ambient temperature effect according to °C is: [fixed value  
(a) + (% of reading (b) ϫ reading) + (% of span (c) ϫ span)] = [0.006 + (–  
0.000025 ϫ (–25)) + (0.00001 ϫ 650)] = 0.013 °C per °C. With the  
ambient temperature 40 °C above reference condition temperature, the  
total ambient temperature effect is: 40 ϫ 0.013 = 0.52 °C.  
When using a Type J thermocouple with a –50 °C to 600 °C  
temperature range at an ambient temperature of 60 °C and a reading of  
525 °C, the ambient temperature effect according to °C is:[fixed value  
(a) + (% of reading (b) ϫ reading) + (% of span (c) ϫ span)] = [0.006 +  
(0.0000054 ϫ 525) + (0.00001 ϫ 650)] = 0.015 °C per °C. With the  
ambient temperature 40 °C above reference condition temperature, the  
total ambient temperature effect is: 40 ϫ 0.015 = 0.6 °C.  
The worst case error would be: Reference Accuracy + CJC Accuracy +

Rosemount Models 244EH and 244ER PC-Programmable Temperature Transmitters  
Ordering Flameproof and  
Explosion-proof Approvals  
for Temperature  
Both flameproof and explosion-proof protection depend on the enclosure  
type. Compliance with flameproof and explosion-proof approvals  
requires an appropriately approved assembly, including the sensor. The  
Model 244EH requires an appropriate enclosure for approved use in  
locations requiring flameproof or explosion-proof installations.  
Assemblies  
Orders that include enclosure options J5 or J6 must be ordered from  
the Model 244EH ordering information table.  
When ordering a complete DIN style assembly, select the appropriate  
connection head from Volume 2 of the Rosemount Temperature Sensors  
and Accessories PDS (document number 00813-0101-2654).

3-wire configurations by leaving the unneeded leads disconnected and insulated with  
electrical tape.  
** The transmitters must be configured for a 3-wire RTD in order to recognize an RTD with a  
compensation loop.  
Special Mounting  
Considerations  
Mounting a Model 644H to a DIN Rail  
G-Rail  
Top Hat Rail  
1. Assemble the appropriate rail clip (part number  
00644-5301-0001).  
2. Attach the transmitter to a rail or panel.  
3. Attach the thermowell to the pipe or process container wall  
and attach sufficient lengths of sensor lead wire. Tighten  
the connection head cover.  
4. Run the sensor lead wires from to the sensor and set the  
transmitter failure mode switch.  
5. Attach the sensor and power leads to the transmitter.  
Use with an Existing Threaded Sensor Connection Head  
To mount the Models 644H and 244EH in an existing L1 connection  
head, assemble the Model 644H retrofit kit (part number  
00644-5321-0001) to the transmitter as shown. Then mount the  
assembly in the connection head.
