Check the temperature of liquids in hygienic applications such as food or pharmaceutical lines and tanks. Certified by 3-A to meet sanitary design standards, the parts of these probes that will touch liquid are highly polished to minimize spots where bacteria could grow. They're made of stainless steel, so they won't corrode from harsh cleaners and sanitizers. The housing is IP69K rated, meaning it withstands high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns that are common in hygienic cleaning practices. They have a flange that will connect to sanitary quick-clamp fittings (also known as tri-clamp fittings); they're easy to connect and remove from your line.

Program these probes with the touch screen, and select one of three colors as a visual alert for events in your process such as irregular or fluctuating temperatures. The head swivels 345° and the face rotates all the way around, so you can mount the sensor at any angle and still see the display. To trigger actions in your process line, connect these probes to remote displays, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other control equipment with the M12 plug. These probes meet DIN EN 60751, an industry standard for accuracy. They’re also CE marked, meaning they meet European Union safety standards.

Convert signals from your RTD probe into signal types that data loggers, controllers, and other instruments can read.

Thread-in transmitters automatically recognize the probe type, so you don’t need to program them to match. They communicate via IO Link, which lets you change settings, read measurements, and receive error messages remotely when connected to a PLC via an IO Link controller (not included).

Attach these heads to your thermocouple or RTD probe to protect wiring from dust and moisture. The removable cap makes it easy to access your wiring when you need. Install an optional terminal block inside the head to keep your wiring organized.

Hazardous location connection heads are rated for use in Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups A, B, C, and D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 environments with flammable gases, combustible dust, and combustible fibers.

For a longer service life than thermocouple probes and more consistent readings over time, these thermometers have a resistance temperature detector (RTD) probe. They come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy.
