ATxBlock
1. INTRODUCTION
The ATxBlock is a 2-wire in-head temperature transmitter, microprocessor
based designed for the flexibility of accepting mV, Pt100 and a variety of
thermocouples as the input sensor. The ATxBlock delivers a scalable linear 4-20mA or
0-10V output signal proportional to the sensor temperature. User-friendly configuration
software is provided for parameter setup, including sensor type, temperature range,
filter, etc.
