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.

Find answers to common questions about the TC111 Thermocouple
If the existing thermowell or protection tube is still suitable for service, you may only need to replace the sensing element. The TC111 is specifically designed for use as a replacement insert in existing thermowells and protection tubes, which can avoid unnecessary replacement of serviceable hardware.
Start by identifying the thermocouple type (J or K), single or duplex construction, overall required insertion length, wire size, insulation style, junction construction, and termination. The TC111 allows these parameters to be specified individually, making them more useful for replacement identification than the original part number alone.
The TC111 offers 8, 14, and 20 AWG beaded-element options. Do not select wire size based only on temperature. It should match the available space inside the protection tube, ceramic insulation configuration, mechanical requirements, and existing assembly design.
The twist-and-TIG-welded junction adds mechanical strength at the sensing junction and helps reduce premature cracking. It can be useful where junction durability is a concern. This option is available for single elements only.
The TC111 can be supplied with its own oval or round ceramic insulators, or as a bare element. Duplex elements are supplied with round ceramic insulators. Rather than assuming the existing insulation can be reused, specify the required insulation configuration when ordering the replacement element.
Choose bare ends when the replacement element will connect to existing wiring or another termination arrangement. Choose a ceramic terminal block when you want the element terminated at a compatible connection head for convenient field wiring. Both configurations are available.
