Temperature Measurement

Transmitters for mounting in sensor head

SITRANS TH200 two-wire system, universal

■

Overview

Ultra flexible - with the universal SITRANS TH200 transmitter

• Two-wire devices for 4 to 20 mA

• Mounting in the connection head of the temperature sensor

• Universal input for virtually any type of temperature sensor

• Configurable over PC

■

Benefits

• Compact design

• Flexible mounting and center hole allow you to select your pre-

ferred type of installation

• Electrically isolated

• Test sockets for multimeters

• Diagnostics LED (green/red)

• Sensor monitoring

open circuits and short-circuits

• Self-monitoring

• Configuration status stored in EEPROM

• SIL2 (with Order Code C20), SIL2/3 (with C23)

• Expanded diagnostic functions, such as slave pointer, operat-

ing hours counter, etc.

• Special characteristic

• Electromagnetic compatibility to EN 61326 and NE21

■

Application

SITRANS TH200 transmitters can be used in all industrial sec-

tors. Due to their compact size they can be installed in the con-

nection head type B (DIN 43729) or larger. The following sen-

sors/signal sources can be connected over their universal input

module:

• Resistance thermometers (2, 3 or 4-wire system)

• Thermocouples

• Resistance-based sensors and DC voltage sources

The output signal is a direct current from 4 to 20 mA in accor-

dance with the sensor characteristic.

Transmitters of the "intrinsically safe" type of protection can be in-

stalled within potentially explosive atmospheres. The devices

comply with the Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX), as well as FM and

CSA regulations.

Function

The SITRANS TH200 is configured over a PC. A USB or RS 232

modem is linked to the output terminals for this purpose. The

configuration data can now be edited using the SIPROM T soft-

ware tool. The configuration data are then permanently stored in

the non-volatile memory (EEPROM).

Once the sensors and power supply have been correctly con-

nected, the transmitter outputs a temperature-linear output sig-

nal and the diagnostics LED displays a green light. In the case

of a sensor short-circuit, the LED flashes red, an internal device

fault is indicated by a steady red light.

The test socket can be used to connect an ammeter at any time

for monitoring purposes and plausibility checks. The output cur-

rent can be read without any interruption, or even without open-

ing the current loop.
