Available probes
The reasonably priced probes with PVC connection cable are meant
for measurement in open atmosphere, on surfaces or in non-aggres-
sive gas medium. The probes are sealed and can bear water contact
for some time. However, long term immersion in liquid is not recom-
mended.
The models with stainless steel probe tube are chemically stable and
the tube portion of probe can be submerged in liquid, the stainless
steel (1.4571) does not get affected. However, in the cable termination
area, the probe should not come into constant contact with liquid.
For application in pipeline system, pressure resistant models with 1/8“
or M10 threads are also available. These models with gasket are sui-
table up to 20 bar.

Formation of temperature sensor Networks
All necessary components, with plug-in type RJ12 connectors, are
available for the 16 channel temperature measuring system so that a
fully functional system can be developed even without soldering know-
ledge.
The speciality about wiring of the sensors is the „Bus technology“: All
sensors can be driven parallel on a 3-wire line over which both supply
and data communication can run through.
Hence, the bus topology is completely arbitrary: it can built both as a
star or extended structure. Mixed forms are also possible. It is only to
be ensured that the sum of all connection cables does not exceed the
maximum allowable length of approx. 60 m.
