Chemical Manufacturing: Track reactor vessel temperatures, polymerization process conditions, and crystallization stages using 3-wire or 4-wire RTD configurations to eliminate lead resistance errors in long cable runs.
Pharmaceutical Production: Ensure GMP compliance with validated temperature measurement in fermentation vessels, autoclave sterilization cycles, and cold storage monitoring using high-accuracy Pt1000 sensors.
Food & Beverage Processing: Control pasteurization temperatures, fermentation conditions, and cold chain logistics with reliable RTD measurement meeting HACCP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
Power Generation: Measure turbine bearing temperatures, condenser cooling water, and boiler feedwater systems with rugged Pt100 RTDs in harsh industrial environments.
Advanced Measurement Capabilities
Engineered for precision and diagnostic intelligence:
- Universal RTD Support: Single module handles 10 RTD types plus custom resistance measurements, reducing spare parts complexity
- Flexible Wiring: Configurable 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire connections optimize accuracy versus installation cost trade-offs
- Open Sensor Detection: Automatic fault identification alerts operators to broken RTD elements or wiring failures
- Superior Noise Rejection: 90 dB common mode rejection ratio eliminates interference from motor drives and power distribution systems
- Diagnostic LEDs: Bi-color Power/Integrity indicator provides instant status visibility (Normal, Configuration, Wiring Fault, Internal Fault)
- No Calibration Required: Factory-calibrated for life, eliminating periodic recalibration costs and downtime

Installation & System Integration
Designed for efficient deployment in DeltaV electronic marshalling systems:
- Mounts on standard CHARM Baseplate with DIN rail installation
- Standard Terminal Block (SE4501) with 4 screw cage terminals (22-14 AWG)
- Automatic keying mechanism prevents incorrect CHARM type insertion
- IP20 protection rating suitable for control room environments
- Conformal coating provides ISA-S71.04-1985 Class G3 protection against airborne contaminants
- Hot-swap capability requires de-energized system or non-hazardous area classification
Wiring Configuration Guidelines
2-Wire RTD: Simplest installation but includes lead resistance in measurement (suitable for short cable runs <10m)
3-Wire RTD: Compensates for lead resistance, recommended for most industrial applications with cable runs up to 100m
4-Wire RTD: Eliminates lead resistance errors completely, ideal for precision applications and long cable runs >100m
