General information:
The primary sensor consists of a platinum resistance sensor using thin film technology, which provides a very good response time, due to the lance diameter of 4 mm.
With these sensors, switching points can be set directly on site for exceedance or shortfall of process values. This setting can be carried out via the display, even without the process. The present values, or error messages from the measuring point, are visible at all times, and all important parameters can be displayed on site (this saves time during installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting during the process). The analog current signal can be evaluated from large distances, and the present values can be provided there. The sensor is configured to your requirements. It is therefore ready for immediate use, without programming. If you wish to change parameters, you can set the device directly at the sensor, by means of the programming ring.
The entire family of OMNI sensors is made up in a modular way, by means of a building-block system (hardware and software). A 16-bit microcontroller with a 12-bit A/D converter and a 12-bit D/A converter ensures the necessary processing speed and accuracy. The signal is displayed with the measuring unit by a backlit LCD graphical display, and is converted into a 0/4 to 20 mA signal. Two switching points with push-pull output can be programmed across the whole range. The hysteresis of the switching points can be set separately in value and direction (min., max., switching value).
Exceeding or falling short of switching points, and error messages, are indicated by a flashing red LED visible from a long distance, together with a message in the display.
Further parameters can be modified by means of a code:
- Signal filter
- Unit (°C, °F ...) incl. automatic conversion of the values
- Output 0 or 4 to 20 mA
- Value assignment of 0/4 and 20 mA (setting of zero point and range)
By turning the programming ring to right or left, it is simple to modify the parameters (e.g. switching point, hysteresis...). To protect from unintended programming, it can be taken off, turned by 180° and replaced afterwards, or it can be removed completely, thus acting as a key.
