By providing more and better information about the process and assets, they make it easier to improve product quality, reduce costs, maximise uptime, achieve regulatory compliance and enhance product development.
Honeywell XYR 5000 Wireless Transmitters can deliver information easily, flexibly, and affordably from points that are remote, without access to power, difficult to reach, or in hazardous areas.
The range includes transmitters for gauge pressure, absolute pressure, temperature, and ultrasonic noise (for detecting steam and gas leaks).
There is also an analogue input interface for adding wireless capabilities to 4-20mA devices.
The instruments wirelessly transmit measurements to a base radio connected to a control system or data acquisition device such as a recorder or PC.
Each base radio accepts the signals of up to 50 transmitters.
The base radio provides Modbus or 4-20mA analogue signal output for flexible communications.
Honeywell XYR 5000 transmitters are designed for exposed industrial use, being accurate, reliable, and rugged.
They provide exceptional accuracy of +/-0.1% of full-scale reading at reference conditions and feature long battery life (3 to 5 years).
An alarm warns of low-battery condition, and extensive self-checking software and hardware continuously monitor instrument operation.
The instruments avoid signal interference by employing a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technique.
