The new Foxboro Model RTT80 Temperature Transmitter from Invensys Operations Management represents a new generation of best-in-class transmitters that stand out due to their signal reliability, long-term stability, high precision and advanced diagnostics.

Product overview:
For demanding temperature measurement applications that require a rugged, robust and reliable temperature transmitter, the Invensys Foxboro RTT80 Temperature Transmitter provides the best solution. The RTT80 is a mid-tier two-wire temperature transmitter available with HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and Profibus PA protocols, dual sensor inputs, dual compartment housing, diagnostics, alarms, RTDs and TCs. For the cost-restricted customer, the RTT80 provides the best functionality at the best value.

Key capabilities:
•               Dual compartment housing isolates electronics from the terminal block for longer service life and better protection from corrosive environments;
•               Intelligent hot-sensor backup switches to a secondary sensor in the event of a burn out, preventing unexpected downtime and loss of productivity;
•               Corrosion measurement allows maintenance to better predict the quality of their temperature sensors and their life expectancy;
•               Drift detection enables the control room to evaluate temperature measurements over time and make better decisions concerning sensor stability;
•               Corrosion detection as per NAMUR NE89 prevents export of incorrect measured values and issues a warning via the HART protocol when conductor resistance values exceed plausible limits;
•               Provides diagnostics according to NAMUR NE107.
