Transducers provide an easy-to-use interface
MCR-SL-PT100 temperature transducers offer a simple, convenient and exceptionally cost-effective method of interfacing Pt100 temperature transducers with instruments and control systems.
The protective device is simply screwed in and connected.
This way, the measuring device is protected from surge voltages.
By inserting the cable in the integrated quick-shield connection on the circuit board, it is easy to apply the shield potential to the circuit board.
The complex connection of the cable shield to a PCB terminal is a thing of the past.
By removing a pre-installed bridge, which earths the shield directly, the shield can be grounded indirectly by means of a gas-filled surge voltage arrester.
The surge voltage protection device S-PT-1x2-24DC is typically used for 0(4)-20mA current loops and similar standard signals.
The S-PT-EX(I)-24DC variant is suitable for the specific requirements of intrinsically safe power circuits.
It is used, for example, for Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus applications.
