Temperature Measurement


Temperature switch with a longer temperature sensor

February 2012 Temperature Measurement

The TK temperature switch from ifm electronic is available in five versions, with a temperature setting range between -25 and +140°C. Each version has either two separate switch points with fixed hysteresis or adjustable set and reset points. The original 25 mm length probes have now been joined by a 255 mm long probe for awkward corners.

The Pt1000 element is intended to provide lasting, accurate temperature sensing. The solid state device shows two LEDs which indicate the switching status and readiness for operation. It features wetted parts in high grade stainless steel. The switching temperature can be set on the bench or during the process. Operating voltage is 10 to 30 VDC and both the outputs can handle 500 mA.

The TK series and accessories make a suitable alternative to mechanical temperature switches. The 0,2% accuracy is achieved by electronic temperature compensation and improved temperature decoupling. The flush process connection is via ifm’s EHEDG certified modular hygienic adapter system, allowing integration via common process adapters. This is ideal for hygienic applications.
