TRANSMITTER
The KOS215 is a universal DIN Rail mounted temperature transmitter that accepts
most commonly used temperature sensors, slide wire transducers or mV signals and
transmits them as a 4-20mA signal to a host system. The unit can be programmed by
the user from a selection of preset ranges selected by DIL switches or by computer if
required.

3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 Mechanical
The transmitter is designed to mount onto a standard Din Rail. The transmitter should
be installed with adequate protection from moisture and corrosive atmospheres. The
transmittermay be mountedin any orientation.
Care must be taken when locating the transmitter to ensure the ambient temperature
remains within the specified operating rang. The figure shows the mechanical layout of
thetransmitter.
The instruments are warranted against defective materials and
workmanship for a period of three years from date of delivery.
If a product appears to have a defect or fails during the normal use
within the warranty period, please contact the distributor from which
you purchased the product.
This warranty does not apply to defects resulting from action of the
buyer such as mishandling or improper interfacing.
The liability under this warranty shall extend only to the repair of the
instrument. No responsability is assumed by the manufacturer for
any damage which may result from its use.
