Technical Description

1.1

Range of Application

The SITRANS T3K PA transmitter can be used in all branches. Its compact size
enables it to be installed in the terminal housing with raised cover type B
(DIN 43729) or higher. The following sensors/signal sources can be connected
through its universal input module:
D Resistance thermometer
D Thermocouples
D Resistance based sensor/potentiometer
D DC voltage sources
The useful data – measured values with status as a quality specification and other
parameters – are provided on the PROFIBUS-PA (see chapter 1.3.2, page 64 und
chapter 7, page 108).
Transmitter in the version "Ignition protection type non-incendive" can be mounted
inside areas with an explosion hazard (zone 2). Transmitter in the "intrinsically
safe ignition protection type" can be mounted in areas with an explosion hazard
(zone 1) and be used for feeding sensors at zone 0.
