Krohne’s Optitemp TT 51 temperature transmitter

October 2014 Temperature Measurement

When it comes to accuracy and stability of measurement, Krohne sets high standards with the latest generation of Optitemp temperature transmitters. Efficient 50 point linearisation combined with highly precise sensor drift detection promotes the sensor to the upper echelons of accuracy and reliability. The transmitter is also fully compatible with HART 6.

In addition to significant improvement in reliability, dual sensor input makes sensor drift detection possible. This redundancy comes in both 2 and 3-wire circuits with thermocouples and resistance thermometers. The Optitemp TT 51 rail-mounted device also features the option of a redundant 4-wire circuit.

The new transmitter also features enhanced reliability and safety. External influences such as the ambient temperature, vibrations, moisture and electromagnetic waves have almost no influence on the measurement results. The unique Smartsense insulation resistance monitoring in the thermowell and the SIL2 approval in accordance with IEC1508, makes the device ideally suited for trouble-free use even in safety-related applications. As an added bonus, the Consoft configuration software makes start-up particularly simple. Other features include:

* In-head and rail-mounted versions.

* Redundant sensor input with drift detection.

* Long-term stability with deviation of 0.05% of span in 5 years.

* Vibration resistant up to 10 g.

* Ex certified for Zone 0,1,2.
