18KTS

Rack-mounted DCS Signal Conditioners 18K-RACK

THERMOCOUPLE CONVERTER

Functions & Features
• For thermocouple inputs
• 5-segment linearization, isolation and burnout protection (outputs scale out when disconnected) included
• High-accuracy cold junction compensation
• Module can be retracted without removing wiring for an insulation test
Typical Applications
• High-accuracy cold junction compensation benefits narrow span measurements
• 0.1 μA burnout sensing enables long distance transmission with minimum offset drifts
• Electric furnace (isolation)
• No burnout type can connect to a single T/C in parallel with a recorder
