TMZ PC-programmable Modbus temperature and signal transmitter

March 5, 2012

The TMZ PC-programmable Modbus temperature and signal transmitter delivers high input resolution and exceptional digital measurement accuracy. The unit accepts a direct signal from a wide array of sensors and analog devices, including resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, current/voltage meters, and potentiometers, and then converts the input to the standard Modbus RTU (RS-485) protocol. The TMZ transmitter offers significant savings on wiring and installation costs by concentrating multiple monitoring points onto a single communication link.

OneWireless EHM

March 5, 2012

OneWireless EHM is a compact, eight-channel (four for vibration, four for 4–20 mA) monitoring device that communicates over the OneWireless industrial mesh network. It collects acceleration, velocity, temperature and bearing condition data and delivers them to process operators and maintenance personnel to alert them of equipment problems. The monitor is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to manual inspections normally used to check rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors and motors.

Gas Detection Sensor and Transmitter Combination

March 5, 2012

Engineered for applications in refineries, petrochemical plants and compressor plants, this device couples the firm’s SEC 3000 sensor with its SEC 3100 transmitter to detect trace concentrations of explosive gas. The sensor works in tandem with the transmitter, which incorporates a plug-in memory stick that logs a permanent record of actual gas levels, remembering times, concentrations, trouble signals, service interruptions, etc. The memory stick is easily removed from the transmitter to download data for retrieval and computer analysis.

Miniature Optical liquid level Switches

March 5, 2012

These miniature optical liquid level switches reliably detect the presence or absence of liquid using solid-state technology. They are also available as basic switches, microprocessor-compatible TTL-output devices and high-power transistor output versions capable of switching currents up to 800 mA. These switches offer different housing options, including cost-effective plastic polysulfone and rugged stainless steel versions for corrosive environments.

HygroTrace meter

March 5, 2012

Moisture measurement in low parts-per-billion (ppb) measurement ranges for ultra-high purity (UHP) gases is critical to a variety of semiconductor, LCD, and other manufacturing processes. The HygroTrace meter uses aluminum oxide technology with a newly patented technique to provide accurate and reliable measurement for 0–100 ppb moisture levels with the sensitivity and speed of response matched only by current technology analyzers that are much larger and more expensive.

non-clogging pressure transmitters

March 5, 2012

These non-clogging pressure transmitters are designed for use in all types of dust collectors, baghouses and powder processes. Designed as a reliable alternative to typical tube-style gages that clog, these pressure transmitters feature a large, ceramic diaphragm that is durable and won’t clog. Both differential and static configurations are available in ranges to as low as 0–10 in. w.c. A 4–20-mA output is provided from the all-stainless-steel, heavy-duty package.

SmartCET corrosion transmitters

March 5, 2012

The SmartCET corrosion transmitters are now ATEX-certified and can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres in the European Union. Integrated with the firm’s Experion Process Knowledge System, SmartCET provides online, real-time data that measure the corrosion rate in mm/yr and detects the presence of localizing corrosion conditions. Other SmartCET parameters can be used for further online corrosion diagnostic analysis and for improved accuracy of corrosion rate data. This results in increased plant uptime, reduced maintenance costs, maximized production throughput and improved safety.

M2 Series smart manometer

March 5, 2012

Contained in a 6.5-in. × 3.6-in. × 2.25-in. polycarbonate enclosure with permanently static dissipative ESD protection, the M2 Series smart manometer is ideal for field applications and has the accuracy to serve as a pressure reference standard. It offers 11 selectable user units, as well as expanded ranges to handle gauge, differential, absolute or vacuum pressure. The manometer also comes with a min/max feature to capture extremes of varying pressure signals, and 1-point or 5 -point field recalibration for zero, span and linearity.

SmartPress Model LP-D pressure/liquid-level transmitters

March 5, 2012

The two-wire, loop-powered SmartPress Model LP-D pressure/liquid-level transmitters feature simple push-button programming, making them easy to install and set up. They can also be supplied pre-calibrated at no additional charge. The transmitters have Type 316 stainless-steel flush diaphragms and a variety of process connections, including 1-in. NPT and several Triclamp sizes. The flush diaphragm helps prevent buildup of the process material and allows clean-in-place (CIP) cleanup as required in food and beverage production, as well as pharmaceutical processing.

Tox-Array 2100 RS485/4–20-mA three- and four-wire smart transmitter

March 5, 2012

The Tox-Array 2100 RS485/4–20-mA three- and four-wire smart transmitter features the firm’s patented no-false-alarm sensor technology for gas detection. The self-calibrating device makes monthly span adjustments based on its life curve. It also offers automatic gas calibration in two minutes, plus non-intrusive, hands-free and magnetic switches.
