TX180 Temperature Transmitter 7
Please note that condensation often occurs inside conduit attached to Weather Proof or Explosion
Proof housings. Care must be taken so that liquid condensation does not accumulate and fill the
transmitter housing with liquid. While the transmitter is sealed, we do not recommend operating it
immersed in liquid. Conductive liquids across the top of the transmitter will short the input and loop
terminals. This installation problem can appear to a control system as a transmitter failure.

OUNTING
The TX180 transmitter may be mounted on a 2 inch pipe (vertical or horizontal), on a bulkhead, a
panel, a DIN rail or other rigid support members utilizing the various mounting brackets and
associated hardware available from Dynsico. These types of mounts provide greater flexibility in
installation and removal of transmitter for service. In locations where extreme temperature variations
are encountered, it is strongly recommended that enclosures be provided to maintain a somewhat
constant temperature at the transmitter. Heaters or steam tracing should be provided if the ambient
temperature variations are extreme.
