Active temperature transmitter for solar panel monitoring

HD48...TFP

Active temperature transmitter for solar panel monitoring from -40...+85 °C, with Ø 30 x 7.5 mm 1/3 DIN Pt100 sensor and 4...20 mA, 0...10 Vdc or RS485 MODBUS-RTU output.

Introduction

Solar panel temperature is a key input when checking PV performance and operating conditions. HD48...TFP transmitters provide dedicated active temperature measurement for solar panels, using a disk-shaped Ø 30 x 7.5 mm 1/3 DIN Pt100 contact sensor with 5 m or 10 m cable options.
 
The measuring range is -40...+85 °C, with default analog scaling across the full range. HD4807TFP provides 4...20 mA output, while HD48V07TFP provides 0...10 Vdc output for connection to remote displays, recorders or PLCs. The electronics are specified for -20 °C...+60 °C working temperature.
 
For digital systems, HD48S07TFP provides RS485 MODBUS-RTU output and can be connected to a PC or PLC. Several instruments can be connected in sequence using a shielded cable with twisted pair for signals and a third wire for ground. Versions with LCD display are also available.
