Technology: The Y-line transmitters have an extremely small temperature error. This is
achieved using an additional circuit containing a temperature sensor that subdivides the temperature
range into fields that are 1,5 Kelvin (K) wide. The TK zero and TK compensation values
are calculated for each field and programmed into the additional circuit. During operation, these
values are fed into the analogue signal path depending on the temperature. Each temperature
is the „calibration temperature” for this transmitter. The accuracy thereof is mainly determined
by linearity. 120 fields are available, representing a possible temperature range of 180 K. The
wider the temperature range, the greater the amount of testing that is needed to minimise the
inaccuracy of the mathematical model.
Flexibility: The extent of the vertical range of manufacture, the modular design and the
programmable electronics make it possible to manufacture large, customer-specific batches.
The pressure sensors (insulated measuring cells) are manufactured in large quantities and kept
in stock. These are then welded into the required transmitter head, equipped with electronics
and calibrated over the entire temperature and pressure range in systems with up to 1000
measuring stations.
mPm connectors, M12 connectors, Packard connectors and cable connections are used as
standard for the electrical connection. In the relative pressure version, the ambient pressure is
led into the interior via cable or connector.
