Temperature Transmitters

Temperature transmitters are a fundamental component in the industry. temperature transmitter convert the input signal from a wide range of temperature sensors, such as RTD, thermocouples, and potentiometers, into a standardized analog or digital output. Standard analog outputs for temperature transmitters are 0…10 V or 4 … 20mA.  Current output signalling of 4…20 mA is the predominant output as many industries have adopted this standard for current loop communication.  Other available signals include digital outputs of HART, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus protocol and PROFIBUS® PA (Process Automation). These Smart temperature transmitters are a two-way communication platform resulting in enhanced diagnostics for the device(s), free configuration of the sensor and measuring range, error signalization or measuring point identification.

Temperature Transmitters can be added to most RTD or Thermocouple devices as necessary. They are a great way to cover a long distance when dealing with RTDs. RTDs are based off measuring resistance changes, and long runs of wire without a transmitter will add resistance and cause error in the accuracy of the readings. A transmitter will effectively negate this additional resistance error.

We offer Temperature Transmitters in the typical “hockey puck” style, in General Purpose and Hazardous Location enclosures, with or without local display, and also Rail Mounted. We can also scale and calibrate temperature transmitters for our customers.
