Two Wire Transmitters

Trimpots!

We recently picked up a new customer who ordered a few of our 2-wire thermocouple transmitters. This customer sells thermocouples and other temperature probes, and the manufacturer they represent also offers transmitters from a well-knows European company.

Why did they buy ours? The European brand is computer-ranged. The end user wanted to be able to adjust calibration without needing a computer set-up. So, they bought our "old fashion analog" fixed range Model JH220 - complete with trimpots!

This is at least the second time this has happened. Another of our customers, a temperature sensor manufacturer, ran into exactly the same objection years ago and regularly offers our transmitters even though they also handle the European brand.

Do you need to change ranges but still like trimpots? Model JH225 (shown) adds switches that let you recalibrate to almost any practical range for thermocouple types J, K and T. (You do need a calibration source.) We also offer similar transmitters for RTD (resistance thermometer) sensors.

Two-Wire Transmitter -

Potentiometer Input

Our "sleeper" product - not new and, you would think, not particularly exciting, but people keep finding it and buying it, so we thought we'd feature it.

Pretty simple - takes a potentiometer input and converts it to a 4-20mA two-wire (loop-powered) output. Quite honestly, it was an afterthought when we designed our temperature (RTD and thermocouple) two wire transmitters years ago. Laying out the circuit board so it could also be assembled for potentiometer input was easy, so we included it.

Sells better than we ever expected. Just this month we picked up two new customers for it. The applications can be anything that needs to convert position to an electrical signal. A couple applications - level measurement and boat throttle position. The level measurement application uses a probe with series of resistors and reed switches, activated by a magnetic float.
