Wireless transmitter enables more temperature measurements

16 March 2009

Emerson Process Management has introduced the Rosemount 848T wireless temperature transmitter for high density temperature measurement. The four-channel efficiency adds to installation cost-savings of Smart Wireless technology to dramatically reduce per point costs and thereby deliver more measurement data for use in improving operations and maintenance.

The transmitter monitors up to four independently configurable RTD, thermocouple, ohm, millivolt and 4 – 20 mA inputs, allowing users access to more of these important temperature measurements. The resulting increased visibility to plant operations allows for proactive maintenance and monitoring of key assets.

Fully compatible with any WirelessHart network, it monitors many temperature measurements with one device, ensuring accurate and stable measurements, and continuously monitors measurement integrity. The device is self-powered and utilises SmartPower technology to provide an intrinsically safe power module with long battery life. Not only are installation costs minimised by eliminating the signal wiring, but the sensor wiring costs are reduced by being able to mount the device closer to the process.
