Description
A
Firmcompute 500 mAh Freezer-Chiller Wireless Temperature Transmitter, FC-252 BT
is a device used to measure temperature and convert the measured temperature
into an electrical signal that can be transmitted to a monitoring or control
system. These transmitters are commonly used in industrial processes, HVAC
systems, laboratory equipment, and other applications where accurate
temperature monitoring and control are essential. Here are the key features and
components of a typical temperature transmitter: Temperature Sensor: The
temperature transmitter is equipped with a temperature sensor that detects changes
in temperature and converts them into electrical signals. Common types of
temperature sensors used in temperature transmitters include thermocouples,
resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and thermistors. Signal Conditioning
Circuitry:
The electrical signal generated by the temperature sensor is often
weak and may need to be amplified or conditioned before transmission. Signal
conditioning circuitry within the temperature transmitter processes the raw
sensor signal to ensure accuracy, stability, and compatibility with the
receiving equipment. Output Signal: The output signal of the temperature
transmitter is typically a standardized analog or digital signal that can be
easily interpreted by the receiving equipment. Common output signals include 4-20
mA (milliampere) analog signals, 0-10 V (volt) analog signals, or digital
signals such as Modbus, HART, or Foundation Fieldbus. Housing: Temperature
transmitters are housed in protective enclosures or casings that shield the
internal components from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and
vibration. The housing may be made of materials such as stainless steel,
aluminum, or plastic, depending on the application requirements. Mounting
Options: Temperature transmitters may have various mounting options to
accommodate different installation requirements.
They can be mounted on DIN
rails, directly onto equipment or machinery, or integrated into control panels
or cabinets. Calibration: Temperature transmitters are typically
factory-calibrated to ensure accurate temperature measurement. Some models may
also offer user-adjustable calibration settings to fine-tune the measurement
accuracy as needed. Communication Protocols: Advanced temperature transmitters
may support communication protocols that allow them to interface with
programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCS),
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, or other monitoring
and control devices. Temperature transmitters play a crucial role in industrial
automation and process control, providing accurate and reliable temperature
measurement data for monitoring, analysis, and control purposes. By
transmitting temperature information in real-time, these transmitters help
optimize process efficiency, ensure product quality, and enhance safety in a
wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
