Product description Prothermo NMT532 Description of functions The NMT532 is compact and economical. The average temperature sensor consists of six Pt100 elements which have fixed interval of 2 m (6.57 ft) or 3 m (9.84 ft) from the next sensor. Temperature data is transmitted to the NRF560, NRF81, NMS5, NMS8x, or NMR81x via an intrinsically safe (i.s.) 2-wire local HART signal.
