Transmitter for demanding temperature measurement challenges

The Rosemount 3144S Temperature Transmitter is a new industrial measurement solution with the flexibility to meet the most demanding temperature measurement challenges, allowing for increased efficiency, safety and profitability.

Today’s technicians and managers expect temperature measurement technology to be highly accurate and reliable. Instances of a measurement point performing erratically or failing can have a major impact on productivity. Greater ease-of-use is also critical as the process industry workforce transitions to more recent hires, with fewer employees overall.

The Rosemount 3144S Temperature Transmitter addresses these issues with 0.05 degrees Celsius (0.09 Fahrenheit) of accuracy needed for processes that require the highest measurement performance. It is available with an optional 20-year stability specification and a 20-year limited warranty, assuring that it is one of the most reliable solutions on the market.

Emerson’s new ReadyConnect Technology allows ease-of-use by enabling plug-and-play sensor configuration with a push of a button, eliminating the need to manually input sensor information and Callendar-Van Dusen coefficients, saving configuration and commissioning time.

An operator interface with a simplified, task-based menu and common navigation structure across host and configuration tools also allows further ease-of-use. To further increase productivity, Quick Service Buttons provide local access to basic commissioning and maintenance tasks, such as viewing the current configuration, performing a loop test and rotating the display. Bluetooth wireless technology provides remote access to the device at distances up to 50 feet for increased productivity, reliability and safety.

To address thermowell challenges, the Rosemount 3144S Temperature Transmitter greatly expands the application coverage of Rosemount X-well Technology, Emerson’s non-intrusive measurement solution, which can now measure up to 650 degrees C (1,202 degrees F).

With the Loop Integrity diagnostic and RTD Measurement Protection, the transmitter provides full diagnostic coverage from the temperature sensor to the control room, including sensor health diagnostics, dual input capabilities, and continuous electrical loop monitoring, enabling real-time insight into each measurement point.

Loop Integrity performs continuous monitoring of the entire electrical loop to detect potential failures before they occur, while RTD Measurement Protection will seamlessly switch from a 4-wire to a 3-wire RTD sensor input configuration if one of the four sensor wires becomes broken, corroded, or loose anywhere from the sensor element to the transmitter terminal connections.
