AutomationDirect’s ProSense line now includes head-mounted and DIN rail-mounted temperature transmitters in non-programmable and programmable models.

Non programmable models are available for thermocouple Types J, K, or T and 3-wire RTD type Pt100. Head-mounted models can be mounted in any ProSense connection head or any DIN Form B sensor head and are powered by 8 to 35 VDC; 35mm DIN rail-mount models are powered by 12-35 VDC. The transmitters are reverse-polarity protected and output is linearized two-wire four to 20mA current loop; prices for non-programmable temperature transmitters start at $69.

Programmable models are available in both head-mount and DIN rail-mount styles. Compatible with a variety of thermocouple and RTD types, models feature linear resistance of 10 to 400 Ohms and 10 to 2000 Ohms and selectable units of Fahrenheit and Celsius. Head-mount models are powered by 8-35 VDC and DIN rail-mount models are powered by 12-35 VDC; both styles are reverse-polarity protected; prices for programmable temperature transmitters start at $89.

The free downloadable XT-SOFT PC software is a utility program that allows users to easily configure the programmable temperature transmitters. Simply connect the transmitter to the PC via an XT-USB configuration cable, sold separately for $89.
