TURCK’s temperature instruments utilize platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), commonly referred to as a Pt-100 technology.
Pt-100’s contain a platinum wire that is wrapped around a core or patterned as a thin film on a substrate so that it experiences minimal differential expansion or other strains.
As the temperature changes, the controller measures the change in the electrical resistance of the platinum wire.
The resistance experienced by the sensor is proportional to the temperature changes being experienced by the media being sensed.
Specifically, the hotter the wire becomes, the higher the value of electrical resistance. They require a small power source in order to measure resistance.
Features
Simple push-button programming includes a recessed button that stores selected values and helps prevent inadvertently changing parameters.
Large LED display that can be inverted electronically; the TS500 version can be rotated 320 degrees.
Versions with multiple outputs available; displays output in °C, °F, K and ohms.
Does not require regular maintenance calibration.
High immunity to electromagnetic interference.
Robust stainless steel housing that provides an IP67 environmental protection rating.
Remote or direct mountable; compatible with 4-wire probes
Housing design permits sensors to be mounted directly next to each other or in restrictive places.
4-pin M12 eurofast® connection promotes easy integration in existing applications.
