CONSIDERATIONS
General Electrical temperature sensors, such as resistance temperature detectors
(RTDs) and thermocouples (T/Cs), produce low-level signals proportional to
temperature. The 3144P transmitter converts low-level signals to HART or
F
OUNDATION fieldbus and then transmits the signals to the control room via
two power/signal wires.
Electrical Proper electrical installation is essential to prevent errors due to sensor lead
resistance and electrical noise. For HART communications, the current loop
must have between 250 and 1100 ohms resistance. Refer to Figure 2-10 on
page 2-12 for sensor and current loop connections. F
OUNDATION fieldbus
devices must have proper termination and power conditioning for reliable
operation. Shield cables must be used for F
OUNDATION fieldbus and may only
be grounded in one place.
