The PR 5116 Programmable Transmitter is a high-performance, multifunctional signal transmitter for industrial process automation, monitoring, and control applications. Featuring universal input compatibility for RTD, thermocouple (TC), mV, ohm, potentiometer, mA, and voltage signals, the 5116 Series, from PR electronics, consolidates multiple sensor types into one versatile device, thus reducing inventory and installation complexity.
- Linearized, electronic temperature measurement with RTD or TC sensor.
- Conversion of linear resistance variation to a standard analog current / voltage signal, for example, from solenoids and butterfly valves or linear movements with attached potentiometer.
- Power supply and signal isolator for 2-wire transmitters.
- Process control with 2 potential-free relay contacts which can configure for advanced functions.
- Galvanic separation of analog signals and measurement of floating signals.
- The PR 5116A Programmable Transmitter is suitable for industrial use in safe areas.
- The PR 5116B Ex Programmable Transmitter is intrinsically safe and features ATEX and FM approval.
PR 5116 Programmable Transmitter from PR electronics
With both current (0-20 mA) and voltage (0-10 VDC) outputs, plus two configurable relay outputs, the PR 5116 Programmable Transmitter gives process engineers extensive control options. The transmitter’s 3-port galvanic isolation (3.75 kVAC) enhances electrical safety, minimizes noise interference, and also protects downstream control systems against signal distortion. Universal AC/DC power compatibility provides installation flexibility across global facilities, while DIN-rail mounting maximizes cabinet space efficiency.
- Within a few seconds users can program the PR 5116 Series to suit any specific application.
- By way of the front push-button, the input can calibrate to the exact span of the process.
- Zero drift on the process signal can adjust by a single press of the front button.
- A green front LED indicates normal operation and malfunction.
- A yellow LED is ON for each active output relay.
- Continuous check of vital storage data for safety reasons.
- 3-port 3.75 kVAC galvanic isolation.
Easy Mounting, Installation, and Programming
Programming the PR 5116 Series is fast and intuitive. Users can configure input spans and output behavior via the front push-button interface, including zero-drift adjustment, or use Loop Link communications interface for advanced setup. A front LED panel clearly indicates operating status as well as relay activity for easy diagnostics. Applications include linearized temperature measurement, resistance signal conversion from valves and position sensors, two-wire transmitter power and signal isolation, and process control with configurable relay functions. The PR 5116 Programmable Transmitter delivers dependable accuracy (± 0.05%) in addition to rugged reliability for the most demanding industrial environments.
- The PR 5116 Series can mount vertically or horizontally on a DIN rail.
- As the 5116 can mount without any distance between neighboring units, up to 42 devices can mount per meter.
- The PR 5116 Programmable Transmitter features approval for marine applications.
