New FlexTop Family – Individually Configurable Temperature Transmitters

Baumer presents a new FlexTop family. The individually configurable temperature transmitters of the series 2202, 2203 and 2204 are suitable for the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical and biological technologies, chemical and petrochemical industry as well as for heating, ventilation and air condition applications. The input can be configured for thermocouples, resistance sensors and voltage signals.

The new FlexTop family replaces the FlexTop 2201. The cost-efficient temperature transmitters can be configured with different input signals and have an improved output performance. FlexTop 2202 is a digital temperature transmitter for a measuring range of -200°C to 850°C. The input can be set up with a Pt100 resistance thermometer, a resistance sensor or a potentiometer (each with 0 to 500 Ohm). The accuracy is better than 0.25°C.

For the FlexTop 2203, the input can be a thermocouple (sensor types B, J, K and S) or a 0…100mV voltage signal. Depending on the sensor type, the accuracy is between 2 and 3°C. The temperature transmitter is suitable for a measuring range of -250°C to 1820°C. It offers internal, external and fixed cold-junction compensation (CJC).

FlexTop 2204 accepts a Pt500 resistance thermometer, a resistance sensor or a potentiometer (each with 0 to 1000 Ohm) as input. It is suitable for a measuring range of -100°C to 160°C.

All FlexTop models can be configured via the FlexProgrammer 9701. Different parameters like linearisation, damping and status indication can be set up. Due to the ATEX approval, all models are suitable for applications in hazardous areas.
