PR 5131 2-wire Temperature Transmitter from PR electronics
Built for performance and safety, the PR 5131 2-wire Temperature Transmitter features 3.75 kVAC galvanic isolation, protecting sensitive control equipment from electrical noise and interference. As a result, the 5131 also enhances system reliability. Its jumper-selectable inputs allow independent channel configuration for temperature or current / voltage measurement, thus providing customization for specific process requirements. The transmitter supports automatic cable compensation (3- or 4-wire) and programmable cable resistance for 2-wire setups.
- Independent channel jumper selectable inputs for current / voltage or temperature.
- Current input programmable in range 0-100 mA and voltage inputs in range 0-250 VDC.
- 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.
- 4- or 3-wire connection automatic cable compensation or 2-wire connection with programmable cable compensation.
- Configurable sensor error detection including NAMUR NE43.
Easy Mounting, Installation, and Programming
Configuration is easy using PReset software and the Loop Link communications interface, thus enabling precision tuning and rapid deployment across facilities. DIN-rail mounting ensures compact installation and efficient use of cabinet space. In addition, programmable sensor error detection, including NAMUR NE43 compliance, delivers improvements in safety and diagnostic feedback. Ideal for temperature monitoring, resistance signal conversion, and process measurement tasks, the PR 5131 2-wire Temperature Transmitter offers dependable performance for demanding industrial environments.
- The 2-channel version has full galvanic isolation between the channels.
- Separation of circuits in PELV/SELV installations.
