New BÜrkert Analytical Transmitters Use Diverse Sensor Types For Easy Adaption To pH ORP Or Conductivity Measurement

The Neutrino analytical transmitters are the latest building block in Burkert’s modular ELEMENT system, which sets a higher benchmark in process measurement and control systems. ELEMENT is a complete systems approach, linking clean line valves, sensors, positioners and valve actuators in an intelligent architecture to solve total control loop processes. With unlimited modularity, ELEMENT saves processing time by offering total control solutions for media from slurries to steam, and from de-ionized water to hydrochloric acid.

The new Neutrino transmitters offer OEMs maximum economy, providing a lower cost alternative to ELEMENT transmitters which integrate displays and keypads. They feature a patented variable electrical connection for pH electrodes, making it possible to use most pH electrodes with a 12 mm diameter and an S7 connection. As a result, users enjoy greater flexibility, as a single standard transmitter can be used for all applications within the system. Moreover, the option of selecting from three cell constants (0.01, 0.1 or 1) for measuring conductivity, ensures maximum versatility when exchanging sensors, as well as easy adaptability to the required task. The overall benefits resulting from this versatility are reduced inventory costs and administrative requirements, together with improved product life cycle.

Also adding to the functionality and accuracy of the Neutrino transmitters is an integrated pt1000 sensor, which provides internal temperature compensation. The temperature value provided by the sensor is delivered as a second process variable in the transmitter, and can also be output as 4-20 mA signal.

This eliminates the requirement for a separate temperature sensor, as well as the additional costs for its installation and operation.

Both the 8202 and 8222 Neutrino transmitters are simple to use; they are supplied with a key for selecting the required measuring mode, and offer measuring range selection with 16-position multipoint switch and allocated ranges, together with the facility for one-point and two-point calibration for pH and ORP. Monitoring for calibration processes, device status, warning and alarms, is provided via an integrated LED status display.

More about ELEMENT Products.

Burkert’s ELEMENT range proves the adage that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts; providing a modular programme of process control products that combine effortlessly to deliver solutions to specific process requirements, whether in environmentally aggressive or hygienic areas. The ELEMENT products include valves for on/off and modulating control, and sensors for ph/ORP, conductivity and level; plus digital positioners, control heads and actuators, all of which are designed for valve mounting, delivering maximum space saving and performance. In addition, the integration of backlit displays and coloured status lights on many ELEMENT products, enables users to have more interaction and transparency in their systems, by being able to quickly determine diagnostic messages at a glance.
