Description
What is a temperature transmitter?
A temperature transmitter is a sensor used to measure temperature and transmit temperature data to control systems and devices. These devices convert temperature information into electronic units and present them in digital or analog form.
The temperature sensor is located at the outermost part of the temperature transmitter and is directly in contact with the temperature measurement environment, such that changes in the ambient temperature cause changes in the sensor temperature.
Why should we use a temperature transmitter?
In many industrial applications, the temperature of a process must be controlled remotely. The signals produced by temperature sensors such as thermocouples are very weak signals and cannot be transmitted over long distances. These sensors can be connected to a transmitter to amplify the small signals and bring them to the desired value for the control system. Once the signals are converted into a transmittable state, they can be transmitted over any distance via ordinary copper wire and connected to control equipment and controllers.
