5.8.4 Average Temperature Calculation
This section gives a brief description of how to configure average temperature
calculations for a temperature sensor connected to the Rosemount 2240S
Multi-input Temperature Transmitter. See the Rosemount 2240S Multi-Input
Temperature Transmitter Reference Manual (Document No. 300550EN) for
more information.
To configure a Rosemount 2240S for average temperature calculations, do
the following:
1. In the 22xx ATD window, choose the Average Temperature Calculation
tab:
2. In the No of Elements input field, select the number of used temperature
elements. Verify that the input fields for element positions are enabled.
3. In the Sensor Type drop-down list, choose the type of sensor that is
used; Spot or Average.
4. In the Insert Distance input field, specify the minimum distance between
a temperature sensor and the product surface for temperature sensors
included in average temperature calculation.
5. In the Position column, type the position of each temperature element
measured as the distance from the Zero Level to the temperature
element.
If average temperature elements are used, enter the position of the
terminating level of each sensor element.
