SITRANS TS500
Technical description

■ Design
SITRANS TS500 7MC65xx
SITRANS TS500, type SWR, socket reduced well, dimensions in mm (inch)
The temperature sensors of the SITRANS TS500 series are avail-
able in four different designs:
• General Purpose without Thermowell
• Threaded Thermowell
• Flanged Thermowell
• Socket Thermowell
■ Function
A complete measuring point consists of a measuring insert
which contains the basic sensors, the protective fitting and an
optional transmitter.
The basic sensors are:
• Resistance thermometers:
Temperature measurement is based on the temperature de-
pendency of the installed measuring resistor.
• Thermocouples:
Temperature measurement is based on the Seebeck effect.
A thermocouple which subjected to a temperature drop pro-
duces thermoelectric voltage that can be measured.
Transmitters:
The optional Siemens transmitters assume the following func-
tions:
• Optimum measurement processing
• Strengthening of weak sensor signals directly on site
• Transmits standardized signals
• Protects against electromagnetic interfrences
• Support enhanced diagnosis options
The resistance thermometer is intended for installation in con-
tainers and pipelines.
• Modular design consisting of protective pipe, measuring in-
sert, connection head and optional transmitter for replace-
ment during operation.
• Transmitter can be integrated (4 to 20 mA, PROFIBUS PA or
FOUNDATION Fieldbus)
