The T121 instrument converts input signals and retransmits them into a normalized current signal for 4 - 20 mA 
loop.  The  input  signals  may  come  from  J,  K,  R,  S,  T,  B,  E,  N  thermocouples  (EN  60584),  RTD  sensors 
(thermistors) as Pt100 (EN 60751), Ni100 (DIN 43760), Pt500, Pt1000 and moreover, the instrument T121 can 
acquire voltage and resistance values. TheRTD input may be with 2,3 or 4 wire connection.
