Self monitoring temperature sensor is a
TAD easier
Regular calibration is no longer necessary with the new electronic TAD series temperature sensors from market leader ifm electronic: two different sensor elements monitor each other

Clever level sensor does more than check levels
The recent success of the LK and LI series level probes has led to the introduction of some clever new sensors that provide more information than just liquid level
A pump cavitation sensor at last!
The ifm electronic pump diagnostic pressure sensor detects cavitation, trapped air and blockages, just what you have been waiting for!
Cyclical calibration, which in the end provides no absolute security since the sensors used are only checked selectively, is thus not necessary.
Furthermore, if one element fails, the process continues with the second measuring element (backup function).
Via the diagnostic output of the sensor possible error states are directly transmitted to the higher-level controller.
A failure warning and switch-off threshold can simply be defined via the software.
Providing a standardised 4 to 20 mA analogue signal enables processing in any common controller.
The sensor covers a temperature range of -10 to 150C and is resistant to extremes of -25 to 170C for a short time.
The evaluation accuracy is 0.2 K in the range of -10 to 100C and 0.3 K for 100 to 150C.
The integrated adaptor thread enables hygienic connection to all common process adaptors.
The shape of the probe and the high temperature range allow cleaning (CIP) and sterilisation when mounted (SIP).
The completely closed and welded high-grade stainless steel housing guarantees protection rating IP69K.
The selected design reduces the build-up of dirt and can be cleaned on all sides. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
