pt100 RTD transmitters not working - two in a row - am I doing something wrong?
32mA is typical of what a transmitter will output with an open sensor. Connect a 100 ohm resistor directly across the terminals A to B and short B to B' and measure the current (preferably with a handheld meter and 24V power supply. Check the resistor first. Just those four things and no other connections.
If it still measures 32mA the transmitter is faulty. Maybe they got smashed up in shipping and the terminal block connections are bad (seems unlikely two would be like that). Or maybe the sensor is bad. RTD sensors are prone to failure at the element junctions.
Divide and conquer.
