ISOLATING THERMOCOUPLE TRANSMITTER SEM1500TC

SEM1500 Transmitter
  • Universal Thermocouple Input
  • Galvanically Isolated
  • Small Size
  • 4 to 20 ma Output
  • High Performance
  • DIN Rail Mount

 
INTRODUCTION
The SEM1500TC is a universal thermocouple input DIN rail mounted transmitters designed to accept most common thermocouple types and to isolate and convert them to the industry standard 4 to 20 ma transmission signal.  Automatic cold junction compensation is provided.  The unit can also accept millivolt inputs between -5 and +50 millivolts from, for example, strain gages.

The small size of the unit enables many more units to be installed in a smaller space than was previously possible.  The output signal is galvanically isolated from the thermocouple by 500 VDC to remove the effects of ground loops or leakage.

NON STANDARD RANGES
Units can be supplied set up to other non-standard ranges for a small extra charge or alternatively the unit can easily be re-ranges as follows:
ADJUSTMENTS (Range selection)
Range selection GAIN and OFFSET Coarse settings are made by two 16 position rotary screw adjustment switches on the side of the unit.  Fine adjustment is by front access potentiometers.  Full re-calibration details are supplied with each transmitter.
