SITRANS TS500
Technical description
2
Components: Connection head
Connection head
The connection head protects the connection department. The
connection head features sufficient room for mounting a clamp-
ing base or transmitter.
Different connection heads are used depending on the applica-
tion and preference.
Components: Measuring insert
Measuring inserts feature a large spring range. These measur-
ing inserts are ideal for use with NPT threads with the typical
loose tolerances. In this configuration, the extension function is
partially or fully integrated (nipple-union-nipple). Moreover it is
also possible to directly attach field devices, e.g. SITRANS TF.
Components: Transmitters
SITRANS TH head transmitters process the weak non-linear sen-
sor signals and transmit a stable and temperature-linear stan-
dard signal, thereby minimizing sensor signal disruptions.
The transmitters permanently monitor the temperature sensors
and transmit diagnostic data to superordinate systems.
Because of the low energy feed of the SITRANS TH head trans-
mitters, self-heating of the temperature sensors can be main-
tained at minimal levels.
The electrical isolation and integrated cold junction ensure that
temperature sensors with thermocouples provide reliable mea-
surements at a low cost.
