All-in-one universal transmitter

Commercial sensing technologies are available in a variety of electrical formats, connector types, ranges, materials, supply voltages and output signals, sometimes needing multiple sensor types for one application. However, Knick USA has developed a compact, universal sensor transmitter, offering added functionality within a single, cost-effective, user-friendly unit.

Featuring an infrared interface, PolyTrans P32000 universal transmitters can automatically recognise the signal outputs of 2, 3 and 4-wire temperature, force and strain sensors, resistors, potentiometers, resistive sensors, and similar sensing technologies. They can also recognise standard thermocouple signals, with either internal or external reference junction compensation, without the need for further adjustments.

Knick PolyTrans P32000 all-in-one universal transmitters may also be flexibly adapted to individual measurement tasks using DIP and rotary encoder switches or an IrDA interface. Three-port isolation with protective separation up to 300V AC/DC, gives protection of personnel and equipment. Its power supply covers voltages from 24 to 230V safely, even when operating with unstable power grids.
