A handy temperature transmitter has
been introduced by ifm electronic.

The new TP temperature heads
complement the original 0 to 100°C
with three further temperature spans
of -50 to 150°C, -50 to 300°C and 0
to 300°F; the 0 to 100°C variant can
be supplied with an alternative 0 to
10V output. ifm says its TP
temperature plug can be used to
replace cumbersome, leaking boxes.

It uses the latest in electronics and
connector technology and is said to
need less space and to cost less.

ifm electronic already supplies type
TT or TS Pt 00 and Pt 1000
temperature pickups with integral
M12 connector. That probe can now
be plugged directly into the TP which
will send the measurement as a 4 to
20mA or 0 to 10V signal back to the
panel, via an M12 sealed connector.
