3 1 Introduction The TX91 transmitter is normally powered by an unr egulated DC power supply as shown in Figure 1-3. The pr oportionally-transmit- ted signal begins at 4 mA, at the low end of its temperature range, and increases to 20 mA, at the high end of its temperatur e range. (There ar e various temperature ranges and thermocouple types availa[...]

0 4 Introduction 1 The TX91 two-wire transmitter r eceives and measures signals from thermocouples and sends an output current of 4-20 mA which is directly proportional to the thermocouple millivolt input. It is designed to connect with only two copper wire leads that will supply the voltage to operate the transmitter from a DC power supply , and a[...]

0 5 Introduction 1 The TX91 has reverse supply polarity pr otection and will operate with a wide range of supply voltages (1 1 to 44VDC). It has an input sensor break-pr otection circuit that forces the output curr ent to go upscale when the thermocouple wire opens. It also is pr ovided with a screw terminal, where the output curr ent can be measur[...]

3.1 Mounting the TX91 The TX91 T ransmitter may be: 1. surface mounted, 2. mounted inside a protection head (r efer to figure 3-1), or 3. installed into the OMEGA mounting track (part number RT) using an OMEGA mounting bracket (part number TX90-BR). Figure 3-2 shows the R T mounting track. Figure 3-3 shows the TX90-BR mounting bracket. Figure 3-4 s[...]

15 3 Installation NOTE A milliamp monitoring instrument can be used in the circuit by connecting the monitor’ s positive lead to (+PS) and the negative lead to (M). This allows monitoring the current loop without disconnecting the main wiring. 3.2 Wiring the TX91 (Refer to Figure 3-5) 1. Connect a DC power supply in series with the load to the (+[...]

19 Calibration Instructions 4 4.3 Calibration Procedures (Refer to Figur e 4-1) Connect the calibration equipment according to Figur e 4-1 or 4-2. The thermocouple wire (J, K, T , E) must be of the same calibration as the transmitter being calibrated. Make sure that the wiring polarities are corr ect. (Note that the RED thermocouple wire is NEGA TI[...]

20 4 Calibration Instructions If a Thermocouple Calibrator/Simulator is used, such as the OMEGA Model CL51 1 Precision Calibrator , select the T emperature Input Z (zero) and S (span) values. 3. Set the DC mV source to the selected Z (zero) mV value. Adjust the Z potentiometer to read 4.000 mA on the monitoring instrument. 4. Set the DC mV source t[...]

Malfunction or incorrect operation may be caused by: 1. Reversed polarity: Check the wiring using Figure 3-5 as a guide. If the temperatur e of the thermocouple increases while the curr ent magnitude decreases, the pr oblem could caused by reversed polarity of the: a) thermocouple wiring b) power supply leads c) monitor instrument 2. Loose or broke[...]

25 5 T roubleshooting Guide a) Measure the total r esistance of each device (excluding the transmitter and power supply) in the 20 mA loop, including the resistance of the lead wir es. b) Calculate the maximum allowable loop resistance using the formula: Loop Resistance (maximum) = V supply -1 1V 0.020A For example, a 24V power supply would give a [...]
