SECTION 1. Transmitter Overview 1.0 General Description The LTM-300 is an electronic field instrument, suitable for installation in hazardous and non-hazardous industrial areas. Testing and certification has been obtained from different agencies for installation in specific areas. This instrument is a two wire, loop powered smart transmitter, designed to measure and transmit an analog 4-20 mA signal and two digital outputs (optional) proportional to liquid level in a tank. The optional t
