M-4913-L Instruction Manual for PRS-TMM12 Sanitary RTD Transducers

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Omega PRS-TMM12 series transducers are 

designed as direct immersion instruments for use in 

Sanitary Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems, and are 3-A 

approved to standard 74-03.  They include a 

Tri-Grip® flanged housing for easy installation into 

Food, Dairy and Biopharmaceutical systems that 

conforms to the dimensions for “Hygienic Clamp 

Ferrules” as specified in Part DT of ASME 

BPE-2007.  An M12, 4-pin male connector provides 

a 4-20 milliamp connection to process control or 

monitoring equipment completes the assembly.

To connect the transducer to your instrumentation, 

simply install an M12 extension cable to the 

transducer’s M12 connection noting the positive 

and negative pin locations above.  The transmitter 

provides a 4-20 milliamp signal when connected to 

a constant voltage power supply.  The transmitter 

will operate with an input voltage from 8 to 35 Vdc, 

24 Vdc is recommended.

WIRING CONFIGURATION:

The sensing portion of the transducer consists of a 

probe stem containing a 3-wire PT100 Platinum 

RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) that meets 

the resistance vs. temperature characteristics of the 

IEC 60751 (alpha = .00385Ω/Ω/°C nominal).  The 

sensing element is connected to an Omega TX94A 

4-20 milliamp transmitter which is located inside 

the housing.  The M12 connector is connected to 

the +PS and –PS transmitter connections as shown 

in the following detail.  

PROCESS CONNECTION

The Omega PRS-TMM12 is normally supplied with a 

1-1/2"-16AMP flange (other sizes are also available) so 

it can be easily installed into new or existing systems.  

A commercially available gasket is placed between the 

transducer and process connection, with a clamp used 

to complete the connection as shown above.
The transducers are made from 316L Stainless Steel, 

with wetted surfaces that have a surface finish of 32 

microinches or better.  Care should be exercised when 

handling the sensors so that the surface finish is not 

damaged during handling or installation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Disassembly (See Figure Above):

To access the transmitter inside the housing do the 

following:

1.  Hold the housing and using a 1/2" wrench        

   applied to the flats just below the connector,     

  unscrew the cap from the housing in a counter   

  clockwise direction.

2. The M12 connector in the cap is connected to    

  the transmitter by two wires.  Carefully move    

  the cap away from the housing making sure to   

  not pull the connector wires from the

  transmitter.
The transmitter is an Omega TX94A-1 or -2 

depending on the ranging option specified.  An 

instruction manual for the TX94A transmitter is 

included with each PRS-TMM12 transducer, 

please see that instruction manual for information
