Rosemount 148 Sensor Connections Diagram
* Rosemount Inc. provides 4-wire sensors for all single element RTDs. You can use these
RTDs in 3-wire configurations by leaving the unneeded leads disconnected and insulated
with electrical tape.

Transmitter Input Ranges
(1)
(1) Input ranges are for transmitter only. Actual sensor (RTD or Thermocouple) operating ranges may be more limited. See
“Sensor Specifications” on page 84 for temperature ranges.

Temperature Effects per 1.0 °C (1.8 °F)
Change in Ambient Temperature
(2)()
(2) Change in ambient is with reference to the calibration temperature of the transmitter at 68 °F (20 °C) from factory.
