Field sensors can measure temperature, pressure, flow, level, and composition, as well as other variables like vibration. The specific variable depends on the sensor type and configuration. The listed parameters include measuring range, accuracy, and output signal, which should be verified for the intended application.
The standard output signal is 4-20 mA, which is common in industrial applications. HART protocol is available for digital communication over the same wires. Other protocols may be available depending on the model. The output signal standard is IEC 60381.
The standard operating temperature range is -40 to 85 °C, with an extended range of -40 to 125 °C optional. This is per IEC 60068-2-1. Ensure the sensor is used within the specified range to maintain accuracy and avoid damage.
The specifications listed are reference ranges. You must verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier. Consider the process conditions, such as pressure, temperature, and media compatibility, and confirm that the sensor meets your requirements.
