iTEMP TMT162 temperature transmitter

Unsurpassed reliability, accuracy and long-term stability in critical processes. The remote configurable transmitter transfers and monitors converted signals from RTD sensors and thermocouples as well as from resistance and voltage signals using selectively HART®, FOUNDATION Fieldbus™-, PROFIBUS® PA-communication. It visualizes the signals on its own backlit display. A field housing allows a direct connection in harsh process areas as well as in hygienic applications as option.

HART®, FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ or PROFIBUS® temperature field transmitter with two universal sensor inputs suitable for use in hazardous areas and SIL 2. Universal input usable for resistance thermometer (RTD), thermocouple (TC), resistance thermometer (Ω), voltage transmitters (mV). HART® protocol for converting various input signals to a scalable 4 to 20 mA analog output signal. Operating the transmitter using handheld terminals Field Xpert SFX350/370, field communicator 475 or remotely via PC. FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ ITK 6.1.2. PROFIBUS® PA Profile 3.02. Optional: stainless steel housing for hygienic or Ex d application
