INTEMPCO’s TT820D
Digital Thermocouple Transmitter
1. Description
The TT820D is a digital transmitter that converts the signal from a thermocouple
to a linearized 4-20 mA output. The TT820D features a one point calibration
adjustment with two push buttons as well as an advanced software programming
via the RS-232 input. The advanced programming allows a two points calibration,
a re-scaling, filtering options and identification of the transmitter.
2. Note
Prior to unpacking and installation, please read the operating instructions and
follow them carefully. These units are to be used, serviced, and repaired only by
individuals who are familiar with the operating instructions and the applicable
regulations for operational safety and accident prevention.
3. Control of Units
The units are calibrated and checked before shipment and shipped in good
conditions. If you detect a visible defect on the unit, we recommend that you
carefully check the packing material. In the event of a defect, please immediately
notify the mail service / freight forwarder, as they are responsible for shipping
damage.

8. Set the temperature bath to the maximum range of the TT820D transmitter
( Ex: 200
o
C = 20 mA )
9. With the temperature standard, verify the bath temperature and enter the
value in the “ Second Point ” text box located in the “ 2 Points Calibration ”
section of the “ Programming ” window.
10. Immerse the TT820D probe in the temperature bath and wait for the
output stabilizes.
11. Click on the “ Read ” button associated to the “ Second Point ” calibration.
12. Click on the “ Process ” button, located in the “ 2 Points Calibration ”
section of the “Programming” window, to update the calibration
parameters in the TT820D.
7. Calibration with a thermocouple simulator
Both calibrations, one point calibration and advanced calibration, can be
performed with a thermocouple simulator. In both cases, proper thermocouple
wires should be used to connect the simulator to the TT820D transmitter.
For the one point calibration, simply replace the probe ( thermocouple ) by the
simulator and set the output of the simulator to mid-range of operation. Wait
for output signal stabilizes and adjust, with the “ UP ” and “ DW “ push buttons,
the output to 12.00 mA.
For the two points calibration, simply replace the probe ( thermocouple ) by the
simulator and follow the same procedure as for the ” Advanced Calibration “.
Instead of using a temperature bath, adjust the output of the simulator to the
minimum and maximum values of the range.
