• LED Over-Range Indication
• One Spare Transmitter
 Can Cover Entire Range
• Reverse Polarity Protection

The RdF 2910 in-head RTD temperature transmitter incorporates the latest in digital technology accuracy ensuring drift free operation. The transmitter connects to any
standard RTD and draws 4 to 20 mA linear with temperature. Since the zero and span
are set to conform to a particular sensor type, the sensor temperature coefficient of
resistance (“a = 0.00385, 0.003916, 0.003923, etc...”) has negligible effect on accuracy.

Typical write-up for 2910
Calibrate with a small (3 mm) diameter screwdriver and an RTD simulator (or decade resistor).
1. Simulate the RTD resistance at the 4 mA temperature.
2. Press the programming switch (using the small   screwdriver)
     until the RED programming LED flashes.
3. Simulate the RTD resistance at the 20 mA temperature.
4. Press the programming switch (using the small   screwdriver)
     momentarily and the RED programming LED flashes quickly.
