A Practical Guide to Improving Temperature Measurement Accuracy
Accurate temperature measurement is essential in many critical applications. This white paper guides plant and site engineers through selecting the most suitable sensor for each application and outlines practical methods for improving overall measurement accuracy. It also explains why 4-wire RTD sensors are almost always the preferred choice for high-accuracy requirements, detailing the performance advantages they deliver and the considerations that drive proper sensor selection.
Sharing 4–20mA signals across multiple systems without compromising loop integrity is a common challenge in process facilities. This application note shows how area isolation, using proper signal splitting, keeps the primary BPCS loop protected even if a secondary system fails or is removed. It also highlights how the narrow 15mm ECT-DIN isolator increases channel density in existing cabinets and delivers reliable performance in extreme temperatures and hazardous locations, ensuring uninterrupted, space-efficient signal handling.
Understanding Alarm Trips Part 5: More Alarm Trip
Relay Responses
Part 5 of "Understanding Alarm Trips" dives into the advanced relay settings that improve precision and reliability. Learn how failsafe/non-failsafe modes interact with Normally Open/Normally-Closed contacts, how deadband prevents relay chatter, when to use latching alarms, how to choose proper contact ratings, and how time delays cut nuisance trips. See what these features do to make alarm trips smarter, safer, and more dependable.
Maintaining proper airflow in data center HVAC systems is essential for optimal server room temperatures. Learn how the SPA2 Current Alarm Trip provides reliable protection by monitoring airflow and alarming when it drops below the required rate. With flexible field programming, failsafe/non-failsafe relays, adjustable deadband, and optional 4-20mA output, the SPA2 ensures uninterrupted cooling while providing real-time flow data. Its ability to power loop-powered sensors simplifies installation and reduces extra power needs.
