4.4 RTD Connection
Your connector/transmitter has been designed with a RTD input that will
interface with Omega’s TA4F connector. This connector will plug directly into
the side of your unit as shown below. A mating connector was provided in the
box with your unit (UWRTD-1, UWRTD-2 only).

4.4.1 RTD Operating Environment and Placement
4.4.2 Ambient Temperature Concerns
Your Connector/Transmitter is rated for use in ambient temperatures between
-10°C (14°F) to 70°C (158°F). Exposure to temperatures below or above these
stated temperatures can cause your device to malfunction and produce
incorrect operation. When installing your RTD probe care should be taken to
make sure your connector/transmitter will not be operated in an environment
outside the specifications outlined in Section 9.
4.4.3 Recommended Placement
For applications were the ambient temperature around the RTD probe has
the possibility of exceeding the operating conditions outlined in Section 9 of
this manual, the connector/transmitter should be mounted away from the
thermocouple probe in an area within the normal operating conditions of
-10°C (14°F) to 70°C (158°F). See Below.
