Overview

The ARTM-8L is a versatile multi-channel temperature measurement and control instrument that supports NTC thermistors, PT100/PT1000 RTDs, thermocouples (K, T, J, E, N types), and 0~5V voltage inputs. It monitors up to 8 temperature channels in real time, features 5 relay outputs, 3 analog 4-20mA outputs, and optional ambient temperature and humidity measurement. It is widely used for temperature monitoring of low-voltage electrical contacts, transformer windings, motor windings, and other industrial applications.

FAQ

What types of sensors does ARTM-8L support?

It supports NTC (10k/50k/100k/30k), PT100, PT1000, thermocouples (K, T, J, E, N), and 0~5V voltage inputs.

How many alarm outputs does it have? What is the contact rating?

It has 5 relay outputs, all normally open, rated AC250V/5A or DC30V/5A.

Can it perform temperature and humidity control?

Yes. An optional T&H sensor can be added, and control logic for heating, dehumidification, and ventilation can be configured, executed via relay outputs.

How many analog outputs are there? Can they be customized for channel and range?

There are 3 analog outputs (4-20mA). Each can be independently assigned to any input channel, and the temperature range for 4mA and 20mA is programmable.

What communication protocol does it use? Is baud rate adjustable?

It uses Modbus-RTU protocol over RS485, with selectable baud rates: 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 bps.

What mounting options are available? What is the cutout size?

It supports panel mounting (cutout 152mm×76mm) and DIN35 rail mounting.

Summary

The ARTM-8L temperature monitoring instrument offers a comprehensive solution for industrial temperature supervision with 8 flexible channels, compatibility with multiple sensor types, high accuracy, rich alarm and analog outputs, and optional temperature & humidity control. Its panel or DIN rail mounting and RS485 communication make it easy to integrate into low-voltage distribution systems, motor/transformer protection, and automation projects.
