Transducers for Thermocouples
General Description
These transducers convert the output voltage from a thermocouple into an output signal (e.g., 0-10 V or 4-20 mA) or into a frequency output (max. 10 kHz), which is linearly proportional to the thermovoltage. IT300-series are linearized. The measurement range and zero-point of the DIL-programmabale transducers are adjustable by DIL-switches in steps of 1 mV. All settings are calibrated. The DIL-switches also enable the selection of various operating modes (thermocouple type, voltage or current output).
- Optionally with inductive isolation between input and output (isolating transducer), three port isolation on request. Test voltage between 1 kV and 3 kV.
- Electronic reference junction for all common thermocouples - can be deactivated
- Control LED for units with 24 V power supply
- Fixed range types: input and output ranges can be ordered as required, factory calibration
- Programmable types: all ranges/settings are calibrated, programmed via DIL-switches or via RS232.
- Different housings available
- Secure against short circuits, connection reversal, up to 30 VDC overvoltage.
- Many options: Different isolaton classes, limit switch, multiplexer, digital interface, frequency output.

Abbreviations:
Iso.: Transducer with galvanic isolation between input and output (option: 3-port isolation).
2-D: 2-wire module (4-20 mA), power supply and signal over the same wire.
3P: 3-port-isolation (including power supply), test voltage 1 to 3 kV depending on module.
fixed: input and output range selected as desired (required range to be specified when ordering).
fixed (RS232): input and output range selected as desired (required range to be specified when ordering), programmind only in factory, option: potentiometer.
progr. (DIL): User programmable module (via DIL-switches), with potentiometer.
When ordering, please specify:
- Module type
- Accuracy class (A, C, or D)
- Input range (in °C, K or Ohm)
- Type (K, J, E, etc.)
- Output range (in mA, V or Hz)
- Supply voltage (in V, uni- or bipolar)
- Only the module type and accuracy class (A, C, D) has to be specified for programmable versions. If required, module can be precisely set for a specific range.
