The SICK THTS temperature sensor is a robust, precision-rated thermocouple sensor designed for demanding industrial environments. It offers accurate temperature measurement over a wide range of –50 °C to +250 °C, making it suitable for applications requiring reliable process monitoring in extreme conditions. With a tri-clamp 2" process connection and an insertion length of 100 mm and diameter of 6 mm, the sensor ensures secure installation and effective thermal contact with high-temperature media. The device features a stainless steel (CrNi) housing and is rated IP67 and IP69, providing excellent protection against dust and water ingress under specified conditions. Designed for continuous operation in harsh environments, it delivers consistent performance across ambient temperatures from –40 °C to +85 °C.
The THTS sensor utilizes a Class A accuracy rating according to IEC 60751 for temperature measurement within its full range, ensuring high precision in process control. Its response time is fast—t50≤ 3.3 s and t90≤ 9.7 s—enabling real-time monitoring of dynamic thermal changes. The sensor operates with a 4 mA to 20 mA output signal over a 2-wire system, providing simple integration into existing control systems without additional wiring. It is protected by a Class III electrical safety standard, featuring 500 V AC dielectric strength and reverse polarity protection (L+ to M), ensuring safe operation in high-voltage environments. The sensor’s design supports reliable performance under pressure up to 16 bar at room temperature, with a durable M12 round connector providing secure mechanical and electrical connection.
The THTS temperature sensor has a measuring range of –50 °C to +250 °C. It outputs a 4 mA to 20 mA signal over a 2-wire system. The process connection is tri-clamp 2", with an insertion length of 100 mm and diameter of 6 mm. Maximum process pressure is ≤ 16 bar, with pressure resistance rated at max 16 bar at room temperature. The housing is made from stainless steel (CrNi). It features a 4-pin M12 round connector for connection. Enclosure ratings are IP67 and IP69 as per IEC 60529. Supply voltage ranges from 10 V DC to 35 V DC, with maximum current consumption of ≤ 30 mA. The sensor is protected by Class III electrical safety (dielectric strength: 500 V AC; reverse polarity protection: L+ to M). Accuracy is classified as Class A per IEC 60751 for the full range, and Class B only in the –50 °C to –30 °C range. Response times are t50≤ 3.3 s and t90≤ 9.7 s.
The THTS sensor is designed for straightforward integration into industrial process control systems via its 4 mA to 20 mA output signal, requiring only two wires for operation. The M12 round connector provides a secure, reliable connection with standard field devices. It is compatible with existing analog input systems and PLCs that support 4–20 mA signals. The sensor’s tri-clamp 2" process connection allows for easy installation in pipelines or vessels without requiring complex modifications. However, the IP67 and IP69 enclosure ratings are only valid when connected to female connectors that provide the corresponding protection level. No communication interface is provided; integration relies solely on analog signal transmission.
The THTS temperature sensor operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from –40 °C to +85 °C, making it suitable for both cold and hot industrial environments. It can be stored and transported within the same temperature range without degradation of performance or materials. The device is rated for maximum process pressure of 16 bar at room temperature, ensuring safe operation under typical process conditions. Its stainless steel housing provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress in aggressive media. The sensor’s IP67 and IP69 ratings ensure complete dust tightness and protection against water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes (IP67) and high-pressure washdowns (IP69), provided the female connectors are correctly rated.
The THTS temperature sensor is ideal for use in industrial processes requiring precise, reliable thermal monitoring. It is commonly applied in high-temperature environments such as chemical processing, refining, and manufacturing where temperatures exceed 100 °C. Its robust construction and wide measuring range make it suitable for use in pipelines, reactors, and heat exchangers. The sensor’s fast response time ensures accurate tracking of temperature fluctuations during process changes. With its ability to withstand high pressures and harsh environmental conditions, the THTS is well-suited for continuous monitoring in demanding industrial settings where safety and accuracy are critical.
