10 | 266 MODBUS® multivariable transmitter User manual 2105216 Rev. AB 
  Resistance thermal detector (RTD) input 
The transmitter includes inputs to measure a 4-wire RTD probe. When properly installed, the RTD probe measures fluid 
temperature in a process line. The input supports a platinum 100 ohm @ 0° C, RTD with a temperature coefficient of resistance 
(TCR) Curve B of .00385055 ohms/ohm/degree C. The RTD input specifications are documented in Table 5. The calculation 
table for RTD element errors is documented in Table 6.
