Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitters produce low-level signals proportional to their sensed temperature. Model 444 temperature transmitters convert the low-level sensor signal to a standard 4–20 mA dc signal that is relatively insensitive to lead length and electrical noise. This current signal is then transmitted to the control room via two wires. Figures 2-1, and 2-2 show recommended mounting configurations for transmitter and sensor assemblies. See Section 6 Options for

Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitters This section contains information that you should consider when preparing to ELECTRICAL install Model 444 transmitters. Read this section carefully before going on to the CONSIDERATIONS installation procedures. Metal conduit should be used to enclose cabling for best results in electrically noisy environments. The dc power supply should provide power with less than 2% ripple. The input Power Supply voltage versus load limitation relation

Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitters The correct connections for a compensation loop RTD and a 2-wire RTD are shown in Figure 2-6c and Figure 2-6d, respectively. In a 2-wire RTD, however, both leads are in series with the sensor element, so significant errors (0.1 °C) could occur if the lead lengths are greater than one foot. For longer runs when using a 2-wire RTD, attach a third lead and connect as shown in Figure 2-6a. FIGURE 2-6. Sensor Wiring Diagrams. Signal Signal Si

Installation Thermocouple or In the case of thermocouples, make connections between the sensor and the Millivolt Inputs transmitter with thermocouple wire. For process mounting applications, connect the thermocouple directly to the transmitter. For installations where the transmitter is mounted remotely from the sensor, use appropriate thermocouple extension wire. As with all low-level signal wiring, shielding is recommended for long runs.

Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitters The transmitter will withstand electrical transients of the energy level usually Surges/Transients encountered in static discharges or induced switching transients. However, high- energy transients, such as those induced in wiring from nearby lightning strikes, can damage both the transmitter and the sensor. To protect against high-energy transients, install Model 444 transmitters in conjunction with the Rosemount Model 470 Transient Prot

Installation Installation consists of mounting the transmitter and sensor assembly and INSTALLATION making electrical connections. If mounting the transmitter directly to the sensor PROCEDURE assembly, use the process mounting technique shown in Figure 2-1 or Figure 2-2, on page 2-3. For transmitter locations remote from the sensor, use conduit between the sensor and transmitter. Transmitter hubs will accept male conduit fittings with ½–14 NPT; ½–14 NPSM; or ½–14 taper thread per ANSIC 80.4

Rosemount Model 444 Alphaline Temperature Transmitters Preliminary Checkout 1. For any Model 444 unit, first verify that the transmitter is calibrated to the required range. Calibration is usually performed by substituting an input in place of the sensor, and this is most conveniently accomplished prior to sensor connection. Refer to the calibration procedures in Section 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting. Input Connections 2. Model 444RL: Connect the RTD leads as shown in Figure 2-6a, b, c,
