KROHNE's OPTITEMP TRA-C10, TRA-C20 and TRA-C30 compact temperature sensors follow the current trend in various industries where in standard applications traditional temperature sensors are replaced with compact ones, especially in OEM applications.
The compact sensors are pre-configured with an integrated transmitter to meet the most common requirements in terms of measuring range, immersion length as well as process- and electrical connections, all this in a small housing design.
Although they aim at different fields of application, OPTITEMP TRA-C10, TRA-C20 and TRA-C30 share the same basic design: equipped with Pt100 class A sensor element and build-in analogue transmitter, they cover the temperature range from -50…+150°C (without integrated transmitter +200°C) for liquid and gaseous mediums. Accuracy is ±0.15% of measuring range. For immediate use, the measuring range is fixed and pre-configured to a 4…20mA output, no programming is needed.
All three compact sensors come in standard immersion lengths 50 or 100mm (on request 25…500mm). Also, the short transmitter response time of the compact sensors (for water t0.5 = 3.2 s, t0.9 = 9.0 s) indicates changing process conditions very quickly and allows for immediate reaction. Classed IP67/65, the sensors are dust tight and can be used in wet outdoor environments. The solid mechanical design has no moving parts, which makes the sensors highly resistant to mechanical stress or adverse environmental conditions.
