1.3 General Description

OMEGA’s new MDS-DTM-RTD Series Benchtop Meter has the functions of a

digital temperature meter, enclosed in a benchtop case. It is ideal for laboratory

use and applications requiring portable temperature measurement. There is one

basic model, a single-channel unit that features a terminal, M8, or M12 input that

is configured for use with a RTD signal. This meter is factory configured and

calibrated. Standard features include: internal battery or external DC power

supply operation, analog output, and user programmable alarms. The optional

built-in wireless transmitter allows for remote monitoring, chart recording and

data logging. A variety of user configurable options and settings include: update

rate, dampening, units, backlight level, alarm setting, analog output scaling, and

auto-power-off.
