Safety notes Temperature DIN rail transmitter
4Endress+Hauser
1Safetynotes
Safe and secure operation of the DIN rail transmitter can only be guaranteed if the
operating instructions and all safety notes are read, understood and followed.
1.1 Designated use
•The unit is a universal, presettable temperature DIN rail transmitter for resistance
thermometer (RTD), thermocouple (TC) as well as resistance and voltage sensors.
The unit is constructed for mounting on a DIN rail.
•The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by misuse of the
unit.
•Separate Ex documentation is part of this operating manual, for measurement sys-
tems in hazardous areas. The installation conditions and connection values indicated
in these instructions must be followed!
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
The unit is constructed using the most up-to-date production equipment and complies
to the safety requirements of the local guidelines. The temperature transmitter is fully
factory tested according to the specifications indicated on the order. However, if it is
installed incorrectly or is misused, certain application dangers can occur. Installation
and wiring of the unit must only be done by trained, skilled personnel who are
authorized to do so by the plant operator. This skilled staff must have read and
understood these instructions and must follow them to the letter. The plant operator
must make sure that the measurement system has been correctly wired to the
connection schematics.
Electrical temperature sensors such as RTD's and thermocouples produce low-level
signals proportional to their sensed temperature. The temperature transmitter converts
the low-level sensor signal to a standard 4 to 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.
The transmitter needs to be commissioned before installation in a hazardous area.
Configuration of the device in explosion area is not allowed. Make sure the instruments
in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring
practices before connecting in an explosive atmosphere.
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.
#Warning!
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury. If the sensor is installed in a high
voltage environment and a fault or installation error occurs, high voltage may be present
on the transmitter leads and terminals.

1.3 Operational safety
Hazardous areas
When installing the unit in a hazardous area, the national safety requirements must be
met. Make sure that all personnel are trained in these areas. Strict compliance with
installation instructions and ratings as stated in this documentation is mandatory.
The measuring device complies with the general safety requirements in accordance
with IEC61010, the EMC requirements of IEC61326 and NAMUR recommendation NE21
and NE43.

4.2 Measurement unit connection
"Caution!
•Switch off power supply before opening the housing cover. Do not install or connect
the unit to power supply. If this is not followed parts of the electronic circuit will be
damaged.
•If the device has not been grounded as a result of the housing being installed, we
recommend grounding it via one of the ground screws.
•Sensors:
Connect the sensor cables to the respective DIN rail transmitter terminals (Terminals
3 to 6) by following the wiring diagram .
•Output signal and power supply:
Connect the cable wires from the power supply to terminal 1 and 2 according to the
wiring diagram. For convenient installation, the connection is designed as a
removable plug, so the connection can be made on the terminals, then plug in the
connection socket to the transmitter housing.
!Note!
The screws on the terminals must be screwed in tightly.
•PC configuration (SETUP socket):
Connect the SETUP connection cable (see Fig. 5).

Temperature DIN rail transmitter Wiring
Endress+Hauser 11
Fig. 6: Connection to PC for configuration
During configuration the DIN rail transmitter can be connected to a power source, either
a 9 V battery or a power supply unit (see chapter 5.1 ’Communication’)
!Note!
The screws on the terminals must be screwed in tightly. DIN rail transmitter
configuration during measurement operation is possible. There is no need to
disconnect cables!
4.3 Ground the Transmitter
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. Do not ground the current signal loop at more than one point. The
transmitter is galvanically isolated to 3.75 kV AC (from the sensor input to the output),
so the input circuit may also be grounded at any single point. When using a grounded
thermocouple, the grounded junction serves as this point.

5.1 Communication
The DIN rail transmitter must be set up using a PC and configuration set. The following
points must be taken into account if trouble-free setup is to be achieved:
•Configuration software installation
More details and download see:
www.readwin2000.com
•Connect the DIN rail transmitter to the PC using the connection cable from the
configuration set (TMT121A-VM).
5.1.1 Configuration software installation (Readwin®2000)
5.1.2 Connecting the DIN rail transmitter to the PC using the
configuration kit connection cable
1. Connect the SETUP connector of the interface connecting cable to the SETUP plug
on front of the DIN rail transmitter (see ’Fig. 6’ in Chapter 4.2).
2. Connect the RS232C connector to a free serial interface socket on the PC. In order
to achieve optimum connection, tighten the RS232C connector screws to the PC.
3. If the PC does not have a RS232 serial interface, use a USB (UNIVERSAL SERIAL
BUS) converter. Full compliance with the USB specifications Version 1.0.11.1 and
USB CDC Version 1.1 are required to support the RS232 serial interface.

10.1 Function and system design
Measuring principle Electronic monitoring and conversion of input signals in industrial temperature
measurement.
Measuring system The temperature DIN rail 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 unit is done using
the configuration set for PC.
10.2 Input
Measured variable Temperature (temperature linear transmission behavior), resistance and voltage
Measuring range The transmitter monitors different measuring ranges depending on the sensor
connection and input signals.
