Monitran have launched a new model in their MTN/8006 range of signal conditioners. The MTN/8006TC temperature signal conditioning unit converts the voltage output from a temperature sensor to an industry standard current output.
The MTN/8006TC accepts a 10mV/degC temperature input in the 0-100degC range and converts it to a 4-20mA output proportional to temperature. The signal can be read by PLCs for example or by Monitran’s MTN/5032 condition monitoring system, which can also accept multiple inputs from Monitran’s wide range of accelerometers.
Available in a universal DIN rail form factor, the unit measures 62.5mm x 63.5mm x 18mm and requires a 24V DC power supply.
The 4-20mA signal is much more robust than the output direct from the temperature sensor and is capable of being transmitted over long distances without being degraded by interference from electrical machinery for example.
Monitran is an industry leader in the design, development and manufacture of condition monitoring systems and sensors for vibration, proximity and displacement measurement. Products include general and special purpose accelerometers, velocity sensors, eddy current probes and LVDTs. Areas of application include industrial processing, power stations, water treatment, wind turbines, mining and the oil and gas industry.
