IME Model 8088HT is a digital, PC / Hand-Held programmable, isolated 2-wire transmitter with HART protocol. The unit converts:
- 8 types of thermocouples
- 5 types of RTDs, confabulated as 2, 3, and 4 wires
- potentiometer, resistor and millivolt inputs
into process current loop.
IME Model 8088HT Universal Input Transmitters are designed for use in process industries where vibration, inclement weather and corrosive atmospheres prevail. the electronics are enclosed in a low copper epoxy coated Aluminum housing and for more aggressive environments, a SS316 housing is optionally available. The housings meet the requirements of NEMA 4X and IP67, and are also certified Explosion Proof by FM / CSA and ATEX (CENELEC)
Exceptional digital accuracy of typical ±0.1oC is provided for all the sensors regardless of the calibrated span. Extremely accurate cold-junction temperature measurement provides precise compensation throughout the entire ambient range. The unit also accurately measures and compensates the RTD sensor leads in the 3-wire connection.
The transmitter is fully configurable by connecting to a PC or a Hand-Held. The configuration parameters are stored in a non volatile memory.
Detection of sensor breakage or disconnection of input leads, forces the output of a pre-defined up/down scale value. The unit continuously monitors the sensor and automatically returns to normal operation mode when the sensor is recovered.
