1.1 Unpacking

Remove the packing list and verify that you have received all equipment. If
you have any questions, contact the nearest Customer Service
Department, as listed on the cover of this manual.

Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any
signs of damage. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit.
Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent.

Note: The carrier will not honor any claims unless all shipping
material is saved for their examination. After examining and
removing contents, save packing materials and carton in the event
reshipment is necessary.

1.2 Safety and EMC Considerations

This instrument is a Class III device (8 to 35 Vdc).
Always use a power supply, which complies with EN 60950 safety
standard.

Do not expose the transmitter to rain or condensing moisture.

Do not operate the transmitter in flammable or explosive atmosphere. 

As with any electronic instrument, you may encounter high voltage 
exposure when installing, calibrating or removing parts of the 
transmitter.

EMC Considerations

Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.

Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.

Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.

Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC 
problems persist.

Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!

1.3 General Description

The Thermocouple Two-Wire Temperature Transmitter accepts
thermocouple sensor types J, K, T, or E and will produce a standard 4-
20mA output signal proportional to that produced by its attached input
temperature sensor. Transmission of the proportional current output may
be accomplished by using inexpensive copper wire.
