MTT MS3701F Slim Plug-In Thermocouple Temperature Transmitter

We received an enquiry from a customer whose thermocouple reading needed to reach the control system fast — a burner flame-out condition, a fast overtemperature trip, something where the standard 160ms response of a typical thermocouple transmitter was too slow for the safety loop it was feeding.

The MTT MS3701F is the fast-response version of MTT’s slim plug-in thermocouple transmitter. It reads a thermocouple signal, applies cold junction compensation and linearization, and delivers an isolated DC output in 500µs or less — a fraction of the response time of the standard MS3701. It covers the same wide range of thermocouple types (K, E, J, T, B, R, S, N), so you’re not stuck with a narrower sensor selection just because you need the faster response.

Being part of the MS3700 slim plug-in range, the MS3701F plugs into its own socket base, so it can be pulled and replaced in seconds for calibration or maintenance without rewiring the field cabling underneath. In actual application, panel power isn’t always 24V DC — the MS3701F accepts 100-240V AC mains, 24V DC, or 100-240V DC, so it fits into panels without a dedicated low-voltage bus.

Before we quote, we would normally check: the thermocouple type and temperature range, whether the fast 500µs response is actually needed for your application (it costs more than the standard model), whether a single or dual isolated output is required, and the panel’s available power supply. Send us these details and we can confirm the right configuration before you order. Hope this helps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MS3701F used for?
It reads a thermocouple signal and converts it into an isolated DC output in 500µs or less, for fast-reacting control loops and safety systems where the standard 160ms response time isn’t fast enough.

Can the MS3701F be used with AC power instead of 24V DC?
Yes. The MS3701F accepts 100-240V AC, 24V DC, or 100-240V DC, so it can be powered directly from panels that don’t have a dedicated 24V DC supply.

What’s the difference between the MS3701F and the MS3701?
The MS3701F has a fast 500µs response time, against the standard MS3701’s 160ms. Both cover the same thermocouple types and isolation. Choose the MS3701F only if your application genuinely needs the faster response — it costs more than the standard model.

Is the MS3701F still in production?
Yes, it’s an active model in MTT’s current MS3700 slim plug-in range.
