a. Note that not all duplex sensor types may be able to connect to one temperature transmitter. Consult transmitter product
literature for allowable connections.
b. Sheath material (Inconel and stainless steel) represents an electrically isolated sensor when pertaining to thermocouples.
c. Insertion length represents the U-length for sensors with thermowells (Sensor Type T) and the A-length for bare sensors
(Sensor Type B). Specify the desired insertion length in increments of 0.5 inches up to a maximum of 36.0 inches
(914.4 mm). Substitute numerical values for the four character positions, where the last character position is a “0” or “5” and
represents the digit after the decimal point. For example, “0165” represents a 16.5 inch insertion length.
d. For sensors with thermowells (Sensor Type T), the lagging length defined for the PRMTA must match the lagging length
defined for the thermowell. For bare sensors (Sensor Type B), select zero lagging length (Selection 000).
e. Specify the desired lagging length in increments of 0.5 inches from 2.0 inches (50.8 mm) up to a maximum of 4.0 inches
(101.6 mm). Substitute numerical values for the three character positions, where the last character position is a “0” or “5” and
represents the digit after the decimal point. For example, “035” indicates a 3.5 inch lagging length.
f. Optional Selection -C5, Cleaned and Prepared for Oxygen Service, provides cleaning and preparation of materials for oxygen
and chlorine service, and only applies to replacement sensors. For certification of cleaning, order Cert G in the Auxiliary
Specifications section.

CONFIGURABLE SENSORS Page 5

SELECTED THERMOWELLS OFFERED WITH PRMTA CONFIGURABLE SENSORS

Thermowells isolate the process and separate the temperature-measuring sensitive portion of the sensor from
potentially corrosive or damaging process media. These thermowells permit ready removal of the sensor without
process shutdown. A selection of plain or lagged, threaded or flanged, solid, welded, or tapered thermowells is
available in a variety of sizes and materials. The thermowells are machined from industry standard materials, and a
polished finish assures maximum corrosion resistance. They are manufactured in accordance with applicable
ASME, ASTM, and ANSI standards.

Thermowells that can be used with PRMTA configurable sensors are available in the basic configurations listed
below: Threaded (TT), Flanged (TF), Sanitary (TS), Weld-in (TW), and W-Series thermowells.

NOTE
For additional information and thermowell specifications, refer to PSS 3-3C1 A for W-Series
thermowells, and to PSS 3-3D1 A for T-Series thermowells.

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS Page 7

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS
The PRMTA configurable sensors are used with I/A Series Temperature Transmitters. You can order a sensor at the
same time you order your temperature transmitter, and the sensor is shipped assembled to the transmitter.
Alternately, you can order sensors separately as replacement parts for transmitters in the field.

For example, the RTT80 temperature transmitter model code has several selections that allow you to specify how
the transmitter will be used:

• The RTT80 Housing and Sensor Mounting selection specifies whether the transmitter will be used with a
remote sensor, a bare sensor, or a sensor with thermowell mounting capabilities. A remote sensor must be
ordered separately.
• The RTT80 Input Measurement Type selection configures the transmitter to use a specific measurement type.
When you order an RTT80 with sensor or sensor and thermowell mounting capabilities, the RTT80 Input
Measurement Type options are limited to the types of sensors that can be supplied by the factory. When you
order a PRMTA sensor that will be mounted on an RTT80, the PRMTA Input Measurement Type must match
the RTT80 Input Measurement Type.
• The RTT80 Thermowell Assembled to Housing selection allows you to specify whether a thermowell will be
used with the transmitter, and if so, whether the thermowell will be user-supplied or will be a T- or W-Series
thermowell.
