Operation and system construction
Measurement principle

Electronic monitoring and conversion of input signals in industrial

temperature measurement.

Measurement system

The iTEMP PCP TMT 181 temperature head transmitter is a two wire

transmitter with an analog output. It has measurement input for

resistance thermometers (RTD) in 2-, 3- or 4-wire connection,

thermocouples and voltage transmitters. Setting up of the TMT 181 is

done using the TMT 181A configuration kit.
