Installation and Wiring

Correct installation and wiring are key to ensuring measurement accuracy. Please follow the steps below.

Installation Steps

  1. Confirm that the transmitter appearance is intact, and check that the model matches the order.
  2. Install the transmitter in the temperature sensor junction box or on an on-site mounting bracket.
  3. Ensure the installation location is away from strong electromagnetic interference sources and high-temperature radiation sources.
  4. Tighten the housing to ensure the protection rating.

Wiring Key Points

  • Sensor wiring: Connect correctly according to 2/3/4-wire system, and pay attention to resistance compensation.
  • Bus wiring: The positive and negative polarity of the FF bus must not be reversed, and the shield layer should be grounded at one end.
  • Terminating resistors (100Ω) must be installed at the bus terminals.

Configuration and Commissioning

Use FF configuration software (such as NI-FBUS, DeltaV, TwinCAT, etc.) to set parameters for the TMT85.

Common Configuration Steps

  1. Connect the transmitter to the FF bus network and ensure normal power supply.
  2. Open the configuration software, scan and identify the device.
  3. Set the sensor type, measurement unit, and upper and lower range limits.
  4. Configure the channel and alarm parameters of the AI function block.
  5. Download the configuration and observe the real-time measurement value.

Common Problems and Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseSolution
No bus communicationReversed polarity, insufficient power supplyCheck wiring polarity, measure bus voltage
Large measurement deviationIncorrect sensor type, wiring resistanceVerify configuration, check three-wire/four-wire wiring
Device cannot be recognizedAddress conflict, missing terminating resistorChange device address, install terminating resistor

Maintenance and Precautions

  • Regularly check the housing seal to prevent water or dust ingress.
  • Avoid use outside the ambient temperature range.
  • Please cut off the bus power before maintenance.
  • It is recommended to calibrate once a year to ensure measurement accuracy.
