Using wireless technology, engineers can measure critical data in remote locations within a manufacturing environment without running wires. With Yokogawa’s YTMX580 multi-input temperature transmitter, they can make several measurements. The battery-powered unit has eight analog
input channels, each configurable for thermocouple, resistive temperature detector (RTD), DC voltage and 4-20 mA measurements.
Operating within a frequency range of 2400-2483.5 MHz and a temperature range of -40 to 85°C, the transmitter accepts Pt100, Pt200, Pt500 (IEC751) RTD probes in 2-, 3- and 4-wire configurations. In addition, it can handle B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T (IEC584) thermocouples as well as DC voltages from -10 to 100 mV or -0.01 to 1V.

AutomationDirect’s ProSense line of process sensors now includes temperature switches, temperature transmitters and RTD temperature probes.
The TSD25 series switches offer dual output setpoints over an operating temperature range of -13 to 284°F. With 4-20mA analog outputs, the TTD25 series of transmitters provides a compact temperature monitoring system over temperature ranges from 0 to 100°C or 0 to 300°F. The four-wire, 100 ohm platinum RTD probes are made of durable 316 stainless steel and measure temperatures ranging from -40 to 302°F. The 10 mm diameter probes are available in lengths from 160 mm to 560 mm. Thermowells and fittings are also available.
