Temperature Sensors

The ifm efector temperature monitoring system provides reliable feedback in temperature control applications. The system consists of an electronic control monitor and a variety of sensor probes. The temperature sensor's innovative modular mounting system offers great flexibility to meet application requirements and reduces overall inventory requirements.

Innovative sensor technology
for temperature control
Microprocessor-based sensing technology provides advanced programming capabilities. The sensor readout and output functions can be quickly and easily setup via two pushbuttons and a 3-digit, 7-segment LED display. The display can be programmed to indicate temperature in °F or °C over the temperature range of -40 to 572 °F (-40 to 300 °C). These units can combine a digital readout, switch setpoints and a 4-20mA or 0-10V output in a single housing.

 Mounting Options

Direct mounting for local indication
For local indication of temperature, the monitor is connected to a sensor probe and mounted directly into the tank. The sensor can be mounted inside a thermowell which allows the sensor to be easily removed without shutting down or stopping the process.

Thermowell mounting system for remote indication
For remote indication, the control monitor can be fitted with a cabled temperature probe that can extend up to 5 meters. The sensor is mounted inside a thermowell which allows the sensor to be easily removed without shutting down or stopping the process..

Sanitary temperature sensor
For sanitary applications, a direct mount temperature sensor system is available which meets 3A, FDA, and EHEDG requirements. These units provide a complete system solution for monitoring process temperatures in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other sanitary applications.

Self-contained compact temperature sensors
Compact temperature sensors feature an integrated control monitor and probe. The probe, only 45mm in length, is ideal for small pipes where local indication is needed. The compact sensor is easy to install and uses a variety of adapters to suit many applications.
