Transducers for Thermocouples

General Description

These transducers convert the output voltage from a thermocouple into an output signal (e.g., 0-10 V or 4-20 mA) or into a frequency output (max. 10 kHz), which is linearly proportional to the thermovoltage. The measurement range and zero-point of the DIL-programmabale transducers are adjustable by DIL-switches in steps of 1 mV. All settings are calibrated. The DIL-switches also enable the selection of various operating modes (thermocouple type, voltage or current output).

Our newest generation of programmable transducers (IT 1XX, IT 2XX) allow the setting of almost any desirable range via a RS232-interface. This interface allows also the download of measurement values (AD-converter), calibration date, serial number and more.

  • Optionally with inductive isolation between input and output (isolating transducer), three port isolation on request. Test voltage between 1 kV and 3 kV.
  • Electronic reference junction for all common thermocouples - can be deactivated
  • Control LED for units with 24 V power supply
  • Fixed range types: input and output ranges can be ordered as required, factory calibration
  • Programmable types: all ranges/settings are calibrated, programmed via DIL-switches or via RS232.
  • Different housings available
  • Secure against short circuits, connection reversal, up to 30 VDC overvoltage.
  • Many options: Different isolaton classes, limit switch, multiplexer, digital interface, frequency output.
