Temperature Transmitter with advanced diagnostics

Endress+Hauser’s iTEMP TMT162 is a temperature transmitter that is designed to meet the highest demands in ruggedness, accuracy and diagnostic capabilities.

Available with aluminium or stainless steel housing, it has separate electronic and connection compartments for safe and quick installation. RTD, thermocouple, Ω and mV sensors can be connected. A large backlit display provides measurement, bargraph and diagnostic information. Certified transmitter versions are available with various types of Ex protection.

The transmitter supports two-channel operation with monitoring of redundancy and temperature drift as well as calculation of differential and average temperature. Sensor matching ensures the highest accuracy in critical applications.

iTEMP TMT162 is available with an ITK6-compliant Foundation Fieldbus interface, thus supporting field diagnostics. Error messages are sorted into four categories, each carrying additional information on cause and remedies. Sensor short-circuit, lead breakage and RTD/TC corrosion are all recognized. With this information, users can quickly identify and rectify faults, thus increasing plant availability.

Easily connect wired devices to wireless Systems

WirelessHART is used as an economical alternative to complex and costly cable installations. The impressive technology offers simple upgrading of existing field devices and uses new intelligent WirelessHART field devices. If you need flexibility, mobility, and efficiency, WirelessHART networks are the ideal solution.

Pepperl+Fuchs offers a new and expanded portfolio of products with the introduction of the newly acquired Mactek Bullet. This loop-powered WirelessHART adapter enables new and existing wired 4-20mA and HART field devices to communicate measurement, diagnostics and parameterization data wirelessly. The BULLET can be permanently installed by attaching it directly into a field device or anywhere on its current loop. It can harvest the necessary energy from a 4-20mA loop with very low voltage drop through a patented method. In addition, it has an encased antenna, which is a real benefit in rough areas.

The Bullet comes as a General Purpose version without any Ex certification, or as an Ex version with explosion-proof enclosure and IS circuits.
