1. Introduction
The tM-TH8 is an 8-channel isolated thermistor input module that can be used for
measuring temperatures via a thermistor. Many types of thermistors are supported and
user-defined types can be added by specifying the Steinhart coefficients, if necessary.
The added 2500 VDC intra-module isolation and 120 VDC overvoltage protection for the
thermistor on the tM-TH8 ensures that the module will operate with higher reliability.

3. Block/ Wiring Diagram
Use 26-12 AWG wire for signal connections.
Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm.
Use a crimp terminal for wiring.
Avoid high-voltage cables and power equipment as much as possible.
For RS-485 communication, use insulated and twisted pair 24 AWG wire, e.g.
Belden 9841.
4. Default Settings
Default settings for the tM-TH8 are as follows:
▫ Protocol: Modbus RTU
▫ Module Address: 01
▫ Thermistor Type: Type 60, PreCon Type III, -30°F to 240°F
▫ Baud Rate: 9600 bps
▫ Temperature Scale: Celsius (the tM-TH8 also supports Fahrenheit scale)

5. Configuration
To install the module, follow the steps below:
1. Connect the thermistor analog input.
2. Connect the module to the RS-485 network using the DATA+ and DATA- terminals.
3. Connect the module to the power supply using the +Vs and GND terminals. Note that
the voltage supplied should be in the range of +10 to +30V DC.
