The Maxwell TT-501 Series is a robust and highly versatile threaded thermocouple temperature transmitter engineered for demanding industrial environments. Housed in a rugged, explosion-proof aluminum alloy enclosure, this transmitter delivers reliable and accurate temperature measurement across a wide range of process conditions. An integrated digital display provides clear, on-site readings, while the RS485 (Modbus RTU) communication output enables seamless integration into modern PLC-based control systems, SCADA networks, and building management systems.
With its highly customizable design — featuring multiple thread options (M6, M8, 1/4 BSP, 1/4 NPT), a selection of premium probe materials (304, 316, and 310 stainless steel, brass, and aluminum), and a comprehensive range of lead wire materials — the TT-501 can be precisely configured to meet the exact requirements of any installation. Both grounded and ungrounded junction configurations are available, offering a choice between faster thermal response and electrical isolation to suit the specific demands of each application.

The TT-501 series uses a structured ordering code that allows full customization of sensor type, thread connection, lead wire length, material, and junction type. The ordering code follows the format below:
Code Format: TC – [Type] – [Probe Dia] – [Probe Length] – [Screw Type] – [Lead Length] – [Lead Material] – [Junction]
Example: TC-K1-N-N-M6-2000-SS-GD → Type K thermocouple, no probe, M6 screw, 2000mm stainless steel lead wire, grounded junction
