A complete measuring point consists of a measuring insert which contains the sensor elements, the protective fitting and an optional measurement value processor (transmitter).

The sensor elements are:

• Resistance thermometers:
  Temperature measurement is based on the temperature dependency of the installed measuring resistor.
• Thermocouples:
  Temperature measurement is based on the Seebeck effect. A thermocouple which subjected to a temperature drop produces thermoelectric voltage that can be measured.

Transmitters:

The optional Siemens transmitters assume the following functions:

• Optimum measurement processing
• Strengthening of weak sensor signals directly on site
• Transmit standardized signals
• Protect against electromagnetic interspersion
• Option to conduct measuring point diagnostics

The resistance thermometer is intended for installation in containers and pipelines for hygienic requirements.

• Modular design consisting of protective pipe, measuring insert, connection head and optional transmitter for replacement during operation.
• Hygienic version, design according to recommendations of the EHEDG
• Transmitter can be integrated (4 to 20 mA, PROFIBUS PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus)
