YTA70 Temperature Transmitter

The YTA70 delivers all the benefits found in the YTA50 while adding HART digital protocol communication. The HART protocol allows you to conveniently configue the transmitter using the latest FDT/DTM technology. The YTA70 is the choice for all your control applications.

Compact and lightweight head-mounted transmitter (~0.11 lb as per distributor). Input lead-wire resistance: for RTD, up to 50 Ω per wire is configurable (with some impact on accuracy). Good for control systems where digital diagnostics (via HART) are valuable. Useful in applications with various sensor types — thermocouples, RTDs, or custom sensors. Ideal for tight mounting spaces — head-mounted design saves room. Suitable for hazardous areas (IS versions) because of intrinsic safety options. Can be used in older or modern control systems (4–20 mA analog + HART).

Output

4-20 mA DC analog output.

Digital communication via HART: either HART 5 (-E version) or selectable HART 5 / HART 7 (-J version)

Input Types

Supports a variety of sensor inputs — 17 input types according to spec.

Compatible with:

Thermocouples (T/C)

RTDs (2-, 3-, and 4-wire)

Ohms (resistance sensors)

DC millivolt signals

Mounting Options

Head-mount (DIN Form B) design.

Also supports DIN-rail mount (with suitable adapter) per supplier information.

Power Supply / Load Requirements

Operating supply voltage: 8–35 V DC.

For digital (HART) communication, supply 13.8–35 V DC.

Load resistance: up to a value determined by supply voltage (see spec sheet).

Accuracy / Stability

Cold-junction compensation (for thermocouples): ± 1 °C typical.

Power-supply effect: ± 0.005% of full scale per volt.

Ambient temperature effect is specified (dependent on option codes).

Sensor Failure / Diagnostics

Sensor burnout (“burnout”) feature: supports NAMUR NE-43 (upscale, downscale, or configurable).

Response time (damping) is configurable: from 1 up to 60 seconds.

Operating Temperature Range

Ambient temperature limits: 40 °C to +85 °C (varies by model)

Certifications / Intrinsic Safety

Versions available with IECEx, ATEX, and FM intrinsically safe / non-incendive approvals (e.g., suffix /KS2, /SS2).

Microprocessor-based design for stable performance.

Protocol / Configuration

HART protocol allows configuration via FDT / DTM tools.

HART 7 (if selected) supports long tag (up to 32 characters), enhanced burst mode, event notification, command aggregation.
