Temperature Transmitters (4-20mA), also known as thermocouple temperature transmitter, or thermal resistance temperature transmitter, are sensors with an electrical transmission output.

From wall mounted to PC programmable, to LCD Display, to intrinsically safe models,

there are a variety of transmitters to choose from.

Sino-Instrument’s economical devices provide accuracy and reliability at the lowest possible cost.

Features of temperature transmitter 4-20mA

SI-SBW integrated temperature transmitter 4-20mA

SBWR thermocouple temperature transmitter,

and SBWZ thermal resistance temperature transmitter,

are field-mounted temperature transmitter units,

in thermocouple and thermal resistance series instruments.

The SI-SBW series integrated temperature transmitter,

is a perfect combination of temperature sensor and transmitter.

It converts the temperature signal in the range of -200~+1600 °C,

into two-wire 4~20mA DC signal transmission in a very simple way.

Accurate measurement and control of temperature for displays, regulators, recorders, DCS, etc.

Technical Parameters of temperature transmitter 4-20mA

• Input:
  • Thermal resistance Pt100, Cu50, Cu100         
  • Thermocouple K, E, S, B, T, J, N2.
• Output: 2-wire system 4-20mA DC.
  • Output 4~20mA DC signal in the range can be linear with the output resistance signal of the RTD thermometer,
  • Linear with the input temperature signal of the RTD thermometer;
  • Linear with the thermocouple input millivolt signal, or with thermoelectric.
  • The input temperature signal of the oven thermometer is linear.
• The basic error: 0.1 level, 0.25 level, 0.5 level
• Transmission method: two-wire system
• The transmitter working power supply voltage minimum 12V, the highest 35V, rated working voltage 24V.
• Load: the limit of negative two-load resistance is calculated by the following formula(max)=50×(Vmm-12)
  • That is, the load resistance can be selected from 0 to 600 Ω at 24 V) rated load 250 Ω.
  • Note: The range-adjustable transmitter needs to be repeatedly debugged when changing the range of zero and full scale; t
  • he galvanic transmitter must be warmed up for 30 minutes before commissioning.
• The ambient temperature impact ≤ 0.05% 1 ° C
• Normal working environment:
  • a, ambient temperature -25 ° C ~ +80 ° C  
  • b, relative humidity 5% to 95%  
  • c, mechanical vibration f ≤ 55Hz amplitude <0.15mm
• Explosion-proof grade: EXdIIBT4, EXdIIBT6, EXdIICT6.
• Protection level: IP54

To select a temperature transmitter you need to know the following parameters:

1, Temperature range:

2. Sensor index number:

Thermal resistance: PT100 Thermocouple: K S B

3. The accuracy requirements of the temperature transmitter:

A. sensor accuracy:

1) PT100-A grade

2) K S B -I class IIB, transmission accuracy:
