Keeping things going, working, no matter your industry, is a continuous challenge. In process measurement and control operations, sensors and transmitters perform an essential function that often calls for immediate repair upon failure. Being properly prepared by having any needed parts on hand empowers technicians to quickly and effectively return sensor assemblies or transmitters to operation.

United Electric offers their "Sensor Box™" a kit that is preloaded with everything needed to effect temperature sensor and transmitter repairs in the field. The kit keeps everything needed in one spot, ready to go.

The video shows the convenience with which a technician can use the kit to make field repairs. Share your temperature measurement and process control challenges with product application experts, combining your own process knowledge with their product expertise to develop effective solutions.

Improve Process Safety Compliance With Safety Transmitters

Oil Refinery

Industrial processes often are characterized by substantial hazard through their operation. As operators, engineers, and designers, we are responsible for keeping those actual and potential hazardous conditions and occurrences in check. I recently wrote about safety transmitters that can be used to enhance safe industrial process operation and provide compliance with applicable standards.

I located a single sheet document that summarizes the features, benefits, cost savings, and compliance ratings for the safety transmitters from United Electric. You can get more detailed information on these devices and how to properly apply them in your process control scheme by contacting a product specialist. Combining you process expertise with their product application knowledge will generate a solid solution.

Safety Transmitter for Temperature and Pressure in Industrial Processes

United Electric Controls has developed a safety transmitter that combines transmitter, safety switch, and display gauge in a single, easily deployed device. The One Series Safety Transmitter includes the manufacturer's patented self diagnostics, along with diverse and redundant signal processing that feed algorithms to detect and respond to internal faults and process abnormalities.

The safety transmitter provides a local switch that can be used for rapid emergency shutdown at the point of measurement or detection, eliminating the need to communicate with other safety controllers and await a response. The safety relay output is programmable and can handle high voltages and currents associated with shutting down control valves, compressors, and other industrial equipment.

In addition to the safety relay output, the One Series Safety Transmitter provides logic outputs that can be employed in voting logic schemes often used to produce warnings prior to a shutdown. For reliability, the unit employs no moving parts and includes self diagnostics with a local display of device status.

There is a whole lot more to learn about these "Safety right out of the box" industrial pressure and temperature transmitters. The product brochure is provided below, but you can get the latest and most detailed product and application information from a specialist in industrial process measurement and control.

New Product From United Electric - Hybrid Transmitter for Industrial Use

By mid November, United Electric will begin shipping its new One Series hybrid transmitter-switch models that include HART® Communications Protocol. The newly designed product offering includes a transmitter-only model, as well as another model providing a transmitter plus two solid-state relays. Monitoring pressure or temperature in harsh, hazardous and heavy industrial process measurement and control settings is the target application for these loop-powered transmitters. Models will include UL and ATEX approvals for Divisions 1 & 2 (Zones 1 and 2). With the introduction of the One Series, UE is declaring a number of older models obsolete. You can get a listing of the newly obsolete models from your local UE distributor.

The new combination transmitter and switch model provides a HART® 7 loop-powered transmitter, and includes two programmable solid-state relays, an improved backlit LCD display, and a separate IAWTM health status discrete output.The transmitter-only model is a HART® 7 loop-powered transmitter and also features an improved backlit LCD display.

Some operational benefits, quoted directly from United Electric's product announcement documentation:

• With HART® 7 capability, all of the functions available with the two-button keypad are also available via the HART® Communications Protocol. Using a HART®-compatible hand held communicator or a PC with a HART® modem and appropriate asset management software, users have the ability to quickly configure the One Series, including the switching parameters, and save the configuration in their library for cloning additional controls with the same parameters. We believe this is the only Division 1 electronic switch on the market with HART compatibility!
• If the units are connected to a control system with HART® IO allowing bi-directional communication, configuration can be performed remotely, without the need to remove the enclosure cover in a Division 1 (Zone 1) area.
• Using a HART® capable asset management system, the comprehensive diagnostic functions of the One Series can determine the health status 24x7, saving time and money while allowing operators to focus on other critical issues.
• For cybersecurity purposes, the HART® communications can be set to read-only mode that prohibits parameter changes from unauthorized users and creating a potentially dangerous condition.

You can explore these new products in more detail with your United Electric distributor, taking advantage of their freshly acquired new product knowledge. Find out how the advanced new features of the One Series transmitters can enhance the operation and management of your industrial process.
