Temperature Measurement


Quick-mount temperature transmitter module

January 2013 Temperature Measurement

The TP3237 temperature transmitter module from ifm electronic turns any Pt100 or Pt1000 RTD probe (2, 3 or 4-wire) into a programmable transmitter. Once connected, the transmitter verifies the type of RTD and automatically makes the correct settings for the application. The modular transmitter can be direct or remote mounted in pipes and tanks. A bright LED indicates transmitter loop power.

The transmitter features a quick-disconnect M12 connection that eliminates the wiring errors that can occur with standard terminal chamber head transmitters. An IP69K environmental rating prevents liquid ingress. The transmitter can be programmed for scaling between -50 to 300°C and is designed for industrial automation and sanitary applications.

The TP3237 is a micro DC unit with 4–20 mA analog output and a 20–32 V DC operating voltage. ifm also offers a variety of modular components that connect to the TP. These include Pt100 RTD probes, 1,3 cm NPT thermowells, process connections and cordsets.
