Status’ HTR Thermal Transmitters Serve Varied Applications

Status Instruments has launched the HTR incorporated head thermal transmitter for heating, ventilation, energy management, machine building and HVAC applications. This unique transmitter is the first of its kind to be integrated into the tiny MAA interface head.

Basically with respect to space limitations, the connector head is deployed only as an interface box, in which the transmitter is fixed at a particular distance  from the sensing unit. The HTR works well with RTD, resistance inputs and slide-wires. The high-quality device features over 30 optional resistance sensing units encompassing Ni100, Ni1000, Pt500, Pt100 and Pt1000.

This device is configured for use in HVAC as well as in industrial purposes and the specific triple-wire output sequence equipped in the system can be automated to generate readings varying from 0 to 10 VDC. For instance, the devise can be designed to recognize Pt1000 sensing units and to supply 0 to 10 VDC output readings straightaway from the head, suitable for use in HVAC applications.

To standardize the utility of its integrated memory, the linearized application-specific correction information is incorporated into the transmitter during user applications, thus eliminating the data storage permanently in the unit. In order to attain this functionality, the configuration employs a smaller-capacity microprocessor and thus furnishes cost-effectiveness to the device.

The evaluation can be executed rapidly with ease by means of a laptop or PC, employing the company’s USB interface. The measured data can be saved for further applications and the user is able to view the real-time process information if connected to a computer system.

The HTR is also deployed in the company’s rack mount signal conditioners, thermal transmitters, loop isolators and panel meters.
