Rotary temperature transmitters (RTTs)
What is a rotating temperature transmitter?
A temperature transmitter is an interface between a temperature sensor and a display or control device. It works by converting a sensor output signal, which is non-linear, into a linear signal that can be sent over longer distances without degradation.
Main uses and applications of rotary temperature transmitters
Temperature transducers transform the physical quantity of temperature into an electrical signal, which is then transferred to a regulator. One of the most common applications is their use in fire alarms or in heating systems.
The advantages of rotary temperature transmitters (RTTs)
- Self-calibrating, no need for on-site calibration even for spare parts.
- Several self-tests are performed to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.
- The fixed and rotating parts can be exchanged or replaced individually.
- Quick troubleshooting thanks to simple coding for each output, with no need to disassemble the parts:
| Fault detection | Reading |
|---|---|
| PT100 short-circuit | 21,0 mA |
| PT100 open/broken | 21,5 mA |
| No communication between the parts | 22,0 mA |
| Measurement not reliable | 22,5 mA |
- MODBUS with isolated RS485 (optional).
- Output fully isolated from the power supply for improved noise immunity.
- All integrated, no need for an external signal control board.
- The installation will accept a margin of 10 mm between the rotating and fixed part.
- Several support diameters are available.
- Connections with bolts, screws, connectors or fasteners.
- From 1 to 8 channels.
