Description
The T287 is a programmable two-wire transmitter that is configured to provide an isolated 4-20mA
signal in proportion to the input signal. The T287 accepts thermocouple, 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire
RTD, potentiometer, resistance and millivolt inputs. The T287 supports either single or dual inputs.
In the dual input mode, either input can be selected to control the output, or math functions can be
applied in which both inputs have an effect on the output. The functions available are Sum, Difference,
Average, Higher of the two or Lower of the two inputs. Typical applications include providing
accurate, stable signals to distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data
acquisition systems (SCADA), environmental monitoring and control systems (EMCS), data
acquisition and control systems (DACS) and custody transfer/pipeline systems.
Configuration is performed by connecting the transmitter to a standard (9-pin RS-232) PC serial port
using an isolated interface adapter, and running a user-friendly Windows-based program. All of the
configuration information can be defined and modified using only a PC, the interface adapter, and the
transmitter. No loop supply, input simulation or meter on the output is required. The fully isolated
adapter reduces the risk of damage to the PC which can be caused by spikes and surges on field wiring
entering the computer via its unprotected serial port.
The T287 yields higher accuracy and long-term stability with lower power consumption than prior
generation transmitters. The T287 automatically performs self-tests and auto-calibration while in
service, resulting in a stability of better than ±0.1% of span over 12 months.
Operation
The T287 comes from the factory pre-configured as an RTD transmitter, programmed for a type Pt-
100, 3-wire RTD with a temperature range of 0 to 100°C. The unit can be easily reconfigured using
the C680-0001 Configuration Software. A single copy of the software is all that is required for an
unlimited number of T287 transmitters.
Units already in service can have their configuration “up-loaded” to the PC. Their operating
parameters can be reviewed, and if necessary, revised and downloaded again. All configuration
parameters can be stored in a configuration file on the PC for future use. The Configuration &
Calibration Software, Isolated RS-232/T287 Communications Adapter and User’s Guide are all
included in the model C680-0001.
