Define Instruments’s TM transmitters convert the sensor input signal to a current or voltage output, where it can then be displayed or controlled by a variety of industry standard compatible devices. The TM-2DLI universal transmitter accepts a wide range of standard input types without the use of jumpers and are available in DIN-rail mount or head-mount casing. This model includes a trim potentiometer for fine field adjustments and a status LED for current loop indication and sensor error notification. A reusable USB communications kit can be added to enable PC interface, using purpose-built, windows compatible software. |
