TxIsoRail-HRT 

TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER - OPERATING MANUAL – V1.0x D 

INTRODUCTION 

The 

TxIsoRail-HRT

  is a configurable DIN rail mount temperature 

transmitter  widely required in various industrial processes. Its 

universal input can be configured to read RTDs, thermocouples and 

mV signals. 
It converts the input signal into a 4-20 mA linear output proportional 

to the configured range. The 

TxIsoRail-HRT

  uses the HART® 

communication protocol over the 4-20 mA output current loop. 
The input and output are electrically isolated, enhancing their 

performance and user and system safety.
