    TT233: Thermocouple / milliVolt Input Two-Wire Transmitter

    • Universal TC type J, K, T, R, S, E, B, N or ±100mV input
    • 4-20mA ouput (sink/source)
    • 12-32 V DC loop/local power
    The TT233 model is a space-saving two-wire transmitter that isolates and converts a millivolt or thermocouple sensor input to a proportional 4-20mA control signal. Power is received from the output loop current or a DC supply when using a three-wire connection. Click here to watch a short AcroMaggie video highlighting the TT230 Series.

Points of Consideration When Using Thermocouples to Measure Temperature 

Thermocouples work by measuring the voltage produced by the junction of two different metals. The voltage produced is proportional to the temperature difference between the two metals, and this voltage can be measured and used to determine the temperature at the junction.

However, there are several sources of error that can affect the accuracy of thermocouple temperature measurements, including the reference junction temperature, lead wire resistance, cold junction compensation, thermal EMF, thermal conductivity, and self-heating.

It is important to consider these potential sources of error and take steps to minimize them in order to achieve accurate temperature measurements using thermocouples.

In some cases, it may be necessary to use another type of temperature sensor, such as an RTD transmitter, in order to achieve the desired accuracy.
