The polynomial equation for copper/nickel is as
follows:
RT = R0(1+AT+BT²)
The coefficients A and B are used for the
linearization of nickel or copper resistance
thermometers (RTD). The exact values of the
coefficients derive from the calibration data and
are specific to each sensor. The sensor-specific
coefficients are then sent to the transmitter.
Sensor transmitter matching using one of the
methods explained above significantly improves the
temperature measurement accuracy of the entire

specific data pertaining to the connected sensor to
calculate the measured temperature, instead of
using the standardized sensor curve data.

To significantly improve temperature
measurement accuracy, the device allows Multidrop Mode (Fixed Current)
the use of two methods:
This mode supports communications with up to
– Callendar-Van-Dusen coefficients (Pt100 15 transmitters on a single pair of signal/power

Table 14. HART Communication Parameters
The coefficients A, B and C are used to HART
match the sensor (platinum) and transmitter
in order to improve the accuracy of the Parameter Analog Mode Multidrop Mode
measuring system. The coefficients for a Remote HART Communicator

– Linearization for copper/nickel resistance
thermometers (RTD)
The polynomial equation for copper/nickel is
as follows:
RT = R0(1+AT+BT²)
The coefficients A and B are used for the
linearization of nickel or copper resistance
thermometers (RTD). The exact values of
the coefficients derive from the calibration
data and are specific to each sensor. The
sensor-specific coefficients are then sent to
the transmitter.
Sensor transmitter matching using one of
the methods explained above significantly
improves the temperature measurement
accuracy of the entire system. This is
because the transmitter uses the specific
data pertaining to the connected sensor to
calculate the measured temperature,
instead of using the standardized sensor
curve data.

a. Input measurement must be the same for both sensors. Dual 4-wire RTD is not permitted. Only Input 1 can be configured for 4-
wire RTD.
b. This option initiates the PRMTA configurable sensor model code. If you are ordering a PRMTA configurable sensor, be sure that
the RTT80 Input Measurement Type ordered matches the PRMTA Configurable Sensor Input Measurement Type.
c. Sensor ordered separately.
d. Transmitter is factory configured for the measurement type specified whether the sensor is included or not. You can change the
configuration to a different type using appropriate configuration software for the selected protocol, or specify -C2 Option for
custom factory configuration. On dual sensor input (Sensor Input = 2), both inputs are configured the same, unless specified via
the -C2 configuration form.
e. Only available with the basic module or a module for use with a remote sensor (Housing and Sensor Mounting Codes BB, QQ,
RR, GG, HH, SS, TT).
f. Only available with single sensor input (Input/Output Configuration Code 1).
g. This option requires selection of the Custom Database Configuration (Model Code Option -C2) under “Other Optional Features”.
h. This option is required for all housing options that are not configured for thermowells (Housing and Sensor Mounting Codes BB,
JJ, KK, QQ, RR, CC, DD, GG, HH, SS, TT, WW, and YY).
i. This option allows you to select a PRMTA configurable sensor with TT, TF, TS, or TW thermowell codes.
j. Refer to PSS 3-3C1 A for available W Series thermowells.
k. Transmitter has been designed to meet the Electrical Safety descriptions listed in this table. Contact Invensys for information and
status of testing laboratory approvals or certifications
l. Not available with the basic module (Housing and Sensor Mounting Code BB).
m. Only available with universal housings (Housing and Sensor Mounting Codes SS, TT, WW, YY, LL, MM).
n. Optionally available with aluminum housings configured for sensor and thermowell mounting (Housing and Sensor Mounting
Codes NN, EE, and LL). Standard on ss housings configured for sensor and thermowell mounting (Housing and Sensor Mounting
Codes PP, FF, and MM).
o. Only available with aluminum dual compartment housings (Housing and Sensor Mounting Codes CC, EE, GG, JJ, NN, QQ).
p. Required for ss dual compartment housings (Housing and Sensor Mounting Codes KK, PP, RR, and DD) if a mounting set is
desired. Also available with aluminum dual compartment housings (Housing and Sensor Mounting Codes JJ, NN, QQ, and CC)
if a mounting set is desired.
q. SIL available only with HART Communications option (-T).
r. Requires universal or dual compartment housings with sensor and thermowell mounting options (Housing and Sensor Mounting
Codes NN, PP, EE, FF, LL, or MM).
s. Only available with Thermowell Option Code TK (“T-” thermowell assembled to housing).
