Analogue transmitter offers easy setup
The C201 accepts inputs from standard two and three-wire Pt100 sensor interfaces, including IEC 60751, JIS C 1604 and several US standards.
Hawco Controls has released Inor's C201 analogue transmitter, designed for use with Pt 100 RTD resistive temperature detector (RTD) sensors The C201 takes a resistive signal from the Pt100 sensor element, amplifies the signal and transmits it to a remote PLC or control panel location within a radius of up to a few hundred metres

Controls suit refrigeration or heating
Flexicold is a software function that automatically adapts to changing working conditions of a refrigerator unit, for example if warm products are placed in the fridge or a door is opened frequently.
This low-cost device is PC-programmable, so calibration is a very simple process achieved in seconds.
Its low profile and 3g weight also simplify installation.
Delivering a fully temperature-linear 4 to 20mA output and accurate to +/-0.1C - stable to +/-0.1% of range per year, the analogue Pt100 sensor transmitter is quickly configured via ConSoft, Inor's Windows-based software.
The C201 accepts inputs from standard two and three-wire Pt100 sensor interfaces, including IEC 60751, JIS C 1604 and several US standards.
Designed for harsh environments, the device is tested for vibration up to 10G.
A ConSoft window lets the user set all parameters from a PC , including sensor type, measuring range, sensor failure action and error correction.
Matching to a calibrated temperature sensor to maximise accuracy can be easily performed by entering the sensor errors in the low and high ends of the measuring range.
Further, the configuration can be read or edited without a separate power supply by connecting the C201 to the USB port of a PC.
Typical applications are found in medicine, hospitals, factories, pharmaceutical industries, food and beverage industries, packaging, schools and building monitoring.
It has a 0.5mA typical sensor current; a maximum wire resistance of 20ohm per wire; a response time (90%) of 50ms; a permissible load of 700ohm at 24V DC; and a polarity-protected power supply of 8.5 to 32V DC.
