Mini Transmitter is Ideal for HVAC Applications

Status Instruments has introduced the HTR integrated head temperature transmitter for applications in energy management, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), and machine building. The design is said to be the first complete transmitter that fits into the miniature MAA connection head. Normally, due to space constraints, the head is only used as a junction box, requiring the transmitter to be mounted some distance away from the sensor.

The HTR can be used with RTD, slide-wire and resistance inputs. The standard product has more than 30 resistance sensors to choose from, including Pt100, Pt500, Pt1000, Ni100 and Ni1000. Designed to meet the needs of both industrial and HVAC applications, the three-wire voltage output version can be programmed to output any value between 0-10VDC. For example, the product can be configured to accept Pt1000 sensors and provide a 0-10VDC output direct from the head, which is said to be ideal for HVAC applications. To optimise the use of built-in memory, application-specific linearisation correction data is loaded into the transmitter during user configuration, rather than being permanently stored in the unit.

This means the design uses a microprocessor with a smaller memory and therefore contributes to a lower-cost product. Calibration is carried out quickly and easily via PC or laptop, using Status's USB configurator. Calibration setup can be saved as a file for future use and additionally the user can read live process data when connected to a PC. The HTR is part of Status's range of temperature transmitters, rack mount signal conditioners, panel meters and loop isolators.
