Application example TMT181

Measuring system The iTEMP® PCP TMT181 temperature head transmitter is a two wire transmitter with an analog output. It
has measurement input for resistance thermometers (RTD) in 2-, 3- or 4-wire connection, thermocouples and
voltage transmitters. Setting up of the TMT181 is done using the TXU10-AA configuration kit.
