TH300 Siemens Temperature Transmitter

TH300 Siemens Temperature Transmitter with HART protocol is designed to support all common thermocouples, resistance and millivolt sensors. Setup is quick and easy with SIMATIC PDM or a handheld communicator. Unique user-friendly details are implemented, one of them being the direct readout of the output current with a multimeter without having to open the 4 … 20 mA loop. A red/green LED indicates the device status at a glance.
