FieldPoint Operating Instructions

FP-RTD-122 and 
cFP-RTD-122

Eight-Channel Three-Wire RTD and 
Resistance Input Modules

These operating instructions describe how to install and use the 
National Instruments FP-RTD-122 and cFP-RTD-122 three-wire 
RTD and resistance input modules (referred to inclusively as the 
[c]FP-RTD-122). For details on configuring and accessing the 
[c]FP-RTD-122 over a network, refer to the user manual for the 
FieldPoint network module you are using.

Features

 platinum RTDs (resistance 

temperature detectors)

Built-in linearization for six TCR (temperature coefficient of 
resistance, or alpha) values of RTDs

Direct resistance measurements in 400 and 4,000

 ranges

True three-wire compensation

16-bit resolution

Filtering against 50 and 60 Hz noise

Hot swappable

2,300 V

rms

 transient overvoltage protection

–40 to 70 °C operation
