Temperature Sensors / Detectors / Transducers
Temperature Transducers offer HART compatibility.
Press Release Summary:
Loop-powered Series MCR converts temperature signals from RTDs, thermocouples, potentiometers, and sensors with linear mV characteristic curves into 4-20 mA analog signals. Units can be mounted in hazardous, Division 1 areas for intrinsically safe applications. Housings include head mount version for DIN-B style field installations and 12.5 mm version for DIN-rail mounting. LEDs facilitate maintenance and diagnostics in event of wire break or short circuit.
Original Press Release:
Loop Powered Programmable Temperature Transducers with HART
Harrisburg, PA - Phoenix Contact now offers a family of loop powered MCR temperature transducers as part of its extensive line of signal conditioners. The transducers convert temperature signals from RTDs, thermocouples, potentiometers and sensors with linear mV characteristic curves into 4-20mA analog signals. They are available with HART compatibility and can be mounted in the hazardous area (Div 1) for intrinsically safe applications. The 4-20mA current loop supplies the power needed for signal conversion.
Application flexibility is achieved by custom configuration of measuring range settings, input type selection, linearizations, and diagnostics adjustments using the MCR-PAC-T programming adapter and the MCR-PI-CONF-WIN configuration software. HART compatible modules can be programmed using HART hand-held programmers or modems.
The modules are available in two housings - a standard head mount version for DIN-B style field installations and a compact 12.5mm housing for DIN-rail mounting. Additional features include LED indication for easy maintenance and diagnostics in the event of a wire break or a short circuit.
Phoenix Contact Inc. Quality System is registered to ISO 9001: 2000 - Quality Systems Model for Quality Assurance in design, development, production, installation and servicing.
