Richards Thermocouple and Temperature Sensor Catalog 16

168 / 204

The Richards TS and TSI series transmitters are available for both thermocouples and RTD inputs.
The thermocouple inputs cover all standard calibrations. RTD inputs cover three and four wire, PT100, alpha
0.00385 (European or DIN Standard) and three and four wire alpha 0.003916 (American Standard) sensors The
output is temperature linearized 4-20 mA VDC. All of our transmitters are 2 wire looped powered. TS and TSI
series transmitters can be mounted in the following DIN-B compatible connection Heads: ASLH, SH, AFTH, WH,
CIH, EXSHT, NH, and PPSH.
Part Number Construction:
√ 1) Select the series TS (Isolated) or TSI (non-Isolated).
√ 2) Select your sensor Type: Thermocouples B, C (AE), E, J, K, N, R, S, T
RTDs PTE (European Curve), or PTA (American Curve)
√ 3) Select your temperature span.
√ 4) Select your degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Example (Thermocouple): TSK500-1000F (Non-Isolated, Type K thermocouple, Span 500-1000°F)
Example (RTD): TSIPTE0-500C (Non-Isolated, Pt100, European Curve, RTD, Span 0-500°C)
! Note: When using thermocouples with grounded junctions, be sure to use our TSI series transmitters.
