A temperature transmitter takes the temperature data from a sensor, like an RTD or thermocouple, and converts it into a standard signal, usually 4-20mA or 0-10V. This signal can be sent to control systems, PLCs, or monitoring equipment to keep track of temperature in real-time.
Video Transcription: Temperature Transmitter Technology & Application
[00:05] A temperature transmitter is a critical component in industrial automation that converts low-level sensor signals into standardized outputs. This ensures accurate, reliable, and long-distance signal transmission for complex control systems.
[00:14] Thermocouple and RTD sensors are the industry standards for measuring the temperature of processed media. However, in challenging environments—characterized by high temperatures, electromagnetic interference (EMI), or long cable runs—the raw signals from these sensors can degrade.
[00:33] This signal degradation, often caused by wire resistance and electrical noise, can lead to inaccurate readings. To mitigate these issues, temperature transmitters are used to amplify, condition, and convert sensor data into a standardized 4-20mA output, ensuring high-integrity data across the plant.
[00:59] Several signal types are used depending on the application:
4 to 20 mA Analog Signal: The most common standard, highly resistant to noise and ideal for long distances.
0 to 10V: A common analog option, though more susceptible to signal loss over length.
Digital Signals (HART & Modbus): Used for advanced remote communication and diagnostics.
RS485/RS232: Essential for integrating transmitters with PLCs and SCADA systems.
[01:35] The Tempotech TT367 series temperature transmitters are engineered for versatility. They offer precise sensor-transmitter matching and robust protection against interference. Configurable via the HART protocol, these units allow for easy setup and reliable field operation.
[01:56] Key reliability features include open/short-circuit detection, incorrect wiring alerts, and NAMUR NE43 failure standards. The TT367 supports RTD, TC, Ohm, and Millivolt inputs, making it a universal solution for your instrumentation needs.
[02:26] With integrated dot-matrix displays and easy configuration options, our transmitters provide the precision you can trust. Contact our technical sales team today to find the best transmitter for your application.
FerroSafe® series thermocouples for Molten Metal application

Find answers to common questions about the TC300 Thermocouple
When installing into a hot furnace, the protection tube should be preheated close to the furnace temperature before insertion to reduce the risk of thermal-shock damage. The TC300 instructions recommend preheating the protection tube to 500°C before insertion. Preheating is not required when installing into a cold furnace
Yes. The TC300 offers configurable protection-tube lengths, extension lengths, straight or 90° geometry, connection heads, and conduit connections. Custom furnace mounting fittings can also be supplied when required
Yes. The TC300 is available in single or duplex configurations. A duplex configuration provides two thermocouple circuits within the assembly and can be selected when two temperature signals are required from the same measurement location
Choose MGO-PAC when greater mechanical protection and durability are required. Its mineral-insulated, metal-sheathed construction protects the thermocouple wires and offers grounded or ungrounded junctions. For the TC300, MGO-PAC is required for the 90° angled configuration, while beaded elements are limited to straight assemblies.
Both protection-tube materials are available for the TC300. Silicon carbide provides high mechanical strength with good thermal-shock and corrosion resistance, while silicon nitride provides excellent thermal-shock resistance and is identified for molten aluminum service. Final selection should consider the furnace conditions and installation requirements
Yes. The TC300 offers configurable protection-tube lengths, extension lengths, straight or 90° geometry, connection heads, and conduit connections. Custom furnace mounting fittings can also be supplied when required
