Single potentiometers - Import export

The 9163 process value indicator covers a wide range of applications in which process values need to be measured, displayed, analyzed and transferred to higher-level control systems. Typical applications include measuring geometric values in production, for instance differential measurements, or testing material properties in the laboratory. The measured values can be transferred via PROFIBUS, RS232 interface or analog output. The multi-channel version can be used with up to four sensors. These sensors can be combined using mathematical functions, so that even complex measurement tasks can be performed with just the one instrument. Visual alarms on the display make it easier and more convenient to assess when values lie off-limits. Up to four configurable outputs are available as relay or logic outputs. The excellent measurement accuracy of 0.1% also makes this instrument suitable for high-precision applications.

Today potentiometric Angular Position Transmitters attain a still more status with regard to the analogue measuring technique as far as high-quality measurement tasks are concerned due to the favourable value for money. Potentiometric transmitters have either a high-resolution element of conductive plastic or a high-resolution gold or constantan wire with various resistance and angle values. They are available in various sizes as single-turn or multiple-turn potentiometers or in a multiple design. For adjustment of the measuring range almost all series can be provided with short-circuiting tracks, taps and function windings. Some models are available with incorporated Signal Converter providing current or voltage outputs in configuration of 2, 3 or 4 wires. To ensure reliability in very dirty atmospheres, oil-filled potentiometers are available.
