temperature measuring system / fiber optic / multidrop

The SITRANS TO500 multipoint measuring system is used for evaluating a large number of temperature measuring sensors arranged on a very narrow fiber-optic temperature measuring lance. The system consists of the following components: a read-out unit, the transmitter, and the measuring lance, which can each be connected to up to 48 temperature sensors on the transmitter at four channels. With up to four measuring probes, 192 measuring points can therefore be processed at the same time by a SITRANS TO500. The extremely thin sensor measuring probe of < 2 mm is used for measured value transmission. The system is therefore particularly suitable when the user wishes to install a very large number of measuring points in a tight space and with low thermal mass, such as in tube and tube bundle reactors or in capillary or microreactors.
The fast and gap-free detection of temperature profiles enables the plant operator to optimize processes in terms of lifetime, quality and output. Local overheating is quickly and accurately detected, thereby preventing damage to the process, plant and environment.
