FlexTemp – Configurable Temperature Transmitter

Aarhus/Staffanstorp/Swindon, February 13, 2008. With the FlexTemp series, Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation offers configurable temperature transmitters communicating either with a standard 4 to 20 mA output or a HART interface. The devices 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 FlexTemp 2301 is a temperature transmitter for Pt100 sensors measuring with an accuracy of only 0.25°C tolerance range. With the universal FlexTop versions 2311 and 2321, the input can be configured for RTD sensors as well as for thermocouples, resistance sensors and current or voltage signals. The universal transmitters have a galvanic isolation between input and output. Their accuracy is at 0.1°C.

All versions can be configured with the new FlexProgrammer 9701. Different parameters like linearisation, damping and status indication can be set up. With the FlexTemp 2221, the HART protocol enables online process calibration and adjustment, transmitter configuration and multiple process control in 2-wire networks.

The FlexTemp 2301 is available in a special version for Pt500. Baumer’s FlexTemp is also available as OEM version with the customer’s name, logo and type number.
