DSCP20

Configurable Two-Wire Temperature Transmitter, DIN Mount

DSCP20
Configurable Two-Wire Temperature Transmitter, DIN Mount

Product Availability:
  • Usually stock to 2-3 weeks.

Description

Each DSCP20 2-wire transmitter is designed for measuring temperature using thermocouples or RTDs. The input type, measurement range, and other features are software configurable. A PC, the DSCX-887 and DSCX-416 interface cables, and the DSCX-895 configuration software are required to configure the transmitter. Communication is serial RS-232C.

The DSCP20 can interface to 12 industry standard thermocouple types: J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, L, U, C, and D. Cold junction compensation is selectable as either internal or external. Three RTD types, Pt 100, Ni 100, and Cu 50* can be interfaced in a two, three or four wire connection. All inputs are linearized using up to 23 points of interpolation, and total errors are less than ±0.2%.

Other configurable features include: zero point and input range adjustment, output response for open or short-circuit sensor or cable failure, normal or inverted output, ripple suppression for 50Hz or 60Hz, and output time response. The DSCX-895 configuration software allows query, print-out and saving of configuration settings, display of input measurement value, and display of interpolation table points.

FAQ

Due to resource constraints on my computer, I'm unable to open the three dimensional CAD models provided on your website. Does Dataforth provide two demensional CAD models for download as well?
Two dimensional CAD models can be generated upon customer request. Please contact Customer Service for assistance.
How does the load resistance of a module affect the noise at the output?
Noise at the output of a module is independent of load resistance.
Can Dataforth provide calibration reports for modules I purchased?
Yes we can provide calibration reports for the modules that you purchased. You can either a) visit https://www.dataforth.com/TestDataReport.aspx to search for Test Report Datasheets by Serial Number or b) you can send us a list of model numbers and their serial numbers to support@dataforth.com
