The PolyTrans P 32000 universal transmitters provide connection possibilities for all standard thermocouples, resistance ­thermometers, strain gauges, full bridges, resistors and potentiometers/resistive sensors. They can be flexibly adapted to the respective measuring task using DIP and rotary encoder switches or via an IrDA interface. The broad-range power supply covers all common supply voltages from 110 to 230 V AC and ensures maximum safety even with unstable power grids.

3-port isolation with protective separation up to 300 V AC/DC according to EN 61140 ensures optimum protection of personnel and equipment as well as unaltered transmission of measurement signals.
The PolyTrans P 32000 offer maximum performance in the smallest of spaces. Resistance thermometers can be operated in 2-, 3- or 4-wire configuration. The connection configuration is automatically recognized, adjustment is not required. All commercial ­thermocouples can be read with internal or external ­reference junction compensation. To detect mechanical quantities such as force or strain, strain gauges can be connected in full-bridge configuration.

The ability to connect variable resistors and potentiometers creates a wide range of application possibilities, for example in the ­field of displacement or position detection. Input voltage signals up to +/– 1000 mV are converted into 0/4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 V standard signals. This enables low-cost implementation of current measurements using shunt ­resistors, for example.
Knick offers the PolyTrans P 32000 transmitter with SIL approval for applications with high demands on functional safety. The requirements of EN 61508 were implemented through specially developed hardware and software. The implemented fail-safe concept makes use of structural measures at the device level (redundancy of system components) and diagnostic ­methods for selective fault detection. The product is SIL2 approved (EN 61508) by an authorized body (TÜV Rheinland). SIL3 in redundant implementations.

The universal SensoTrans DMS P 32200 strain gauge transmitters provide connection possibilities for all standard strain gauge force transducers and strain gauge load cells in full bridge configuration. They can be flexibly adapted to the respective measuring task using DIP and rotary encoder switches or via an IrDA® port. The broad-range power supply covers all common supply voltages from 24 to 230 V and ensures maximum safety even with unstable power grids. 3-port isolation with protective separation up to 300 V AC/DC according to EN 61140 ensures optimal protection of personnel and equipment as well as unaltered transmission of the measurement signals. The SensoTrans DMS P 32200 offer maximum performance in the smallest of spaces. Adjusting the zero point and sensitivity to the individual strain gauge sensor is particularly convenient via the infrared port, for example using a PDA. Sensors with known characteristics can be very easily calibrated using 4 rotary encoder switches and 8 DIP switches. Special measuring tasks can be solved with SensoTrans devices that Knick configures according to individual specifications. Fixed-range devices without switches are used, for example, when manipulations or mix-ups must be precluded.
