sections under those headings.
The TX180 temperature transmitter does not have any potentiometers or switches to set and there are
no user serviceable components inside the transmitter. Opening the enclosure will void the
manufacturer’s warranty. All reconfiguration, re-ranging and “calibration” can be done in the field
using either one of the displays. Any of the communication methods provides reconfiguration and
re-ranging capabilities without other external calibration tools.

NSTALLATION
Proper installation of the transmitter will assure highest performance and minimize errors of the
measured variable. The transmitter should be mounted in a location that minimizes temperature
extremes, vibration and shock. It is important to survey the area to ascertain the best location for
installation. Will the location be subjected to flooding? Is the location directly above, below or in
proximity to a known high heat source? Does the location make the transmitter unserviceable?
The installation recommendations outlined in this section are provided to act as a guideline only
and cannot cover all possible variations. The final installation must be made at the discretion and
approval of the user.

OUSING
Several optional transmitter housings are available. The XP-FN is an Explosion Proof / Weatherproof
housing that accommodates a transmitter when the local display option is not required. The XP-FG,
with its glass window, may be used in hazardous and wet locations when the display option is
desired. The XP-HEAD is a small electrical head that can be used without local indication in
Explosion Proof environments. The WP-HEAD is a small aluminum Weatherproof head designed for
head mounting the transmitter without local indication. These housings have appropriate mounting
means in the bottom to attach the TX180 in any of four orientations 90
°
apart. Captive 8-32 machine
screws are installed on the transmitter to facilitate installation and removal to either a housing
bottom plate or to a mounting panel.
