The document discusses two types of transmitters - flow transmitters and temperature transmitters. Flow transmitters provide electrical transmission to indicate the flow of liquid, gas, or mixtures. Temperature transmitters connect to temperature sensors to transmit monitoring and control signals, and commonly use a 4-20mA output scaled to represent specific temperature ranges.

devices Equipped with sensors, these devices provide an electrical transmission for indication of the flow of liquid, gas, or the mixture of both. Flow Transmitter • Flow Transmitter has inbuilt voltage regulator which regularly loop current. • 4 to 20 mA converted into standard 1 to 5V using 250 ohm resistor. • A/D convertor converts voltage output into its equivalent output. Temperature Transmitters • The temperature transmitter is the device, which connects to the temperature sensor to transmit a signal for monitoring and controlling purposes. • Temperature sensor is generally an RTD, Thermistor or Thermocouple sensor , which will interface with a DCS, PLC, data logger or hardware display. Temperature transmitter • The 4-20ma temperature transmitters are the most common • The temperature of the transmitter can be scaled inside the device to accommodate for the needs of the application. In terms of temperature gauges, the 4mA represents -17.7°C – or 0° Fahrenheit and 20mA, which is the highest measurement, represents 37.7° C – or 100° Fahrenheit. Advantages of Temperature Transmitters
• AC power isn’t needed in a remote location
when operating a two wire transmitter • Electrical noise isn’t loud or powerful with the two wire transmitter • A temperature transmitter is cheaper to use as the wires are not expensive to obtain
