New ATEX-approved RTD slidewire transmitter from Status Instruments

03 June 2013

Status Instruments has launched an ATEX / IECEx approved rail mounted ‘smart’ transmitter which converts a signal from RTD, slidewire or thermocouple sensors into an industry standard (4 to 20) mA loop powered output.

Available in single or dual channel versions, other sensor characteristics or the user’s own 22 point linearization characteristics (for slidewire or linear resistance) can be downloaded into the product enabling the user to adapt it to a specific application.

PC configuration (in the safe area) allows the user to select sensor type, range, filter, tag, units and error signal without the need for calibration equipment. In addition, the user may read live process data when connected to the PC, allowing for sensor offset and output alignment where the user can calibrate the output signal to the actual process and therefore help reduce system errors.

If required the desired range can be specified at the time of the order, removing the need for configuration.
