PR Electronics 3331 – Temperature Converter, Loop-Powered – Isolated

Application

  • PR Electronics 3331 temperature converter supports standard PT100, TC J, and K temperature sensors, offering an isolated passive analog current output.
  • It features high 2-port isolation for surge suppression, protecting against transients and noise, suitable for installation in safe areas or Zone 2 / Division 2 areas.
  • Approved for marine use.

Technical Specifications

  • Operates flexibly on 5.5 to 35 VDC via connectors, powered by the loop.
  • Provides fast response (< 30 ms) with optional simultaneous sensor error detection.
  • Offers selectable 300 ms response time for signal damping.
  • Allows internal/external CJC selection.
  • Ensures excellent conversion accuracy (< 0.05% of span) across all ranges.
  • Meets NAMUR NE21 recommendations for top measurement performance in challenging EMC environments.
  • Complies with NAMUR NE43 for defining out-of-range and sensor error output values.
  • All terminals are safeguarded against overvoltage and polarity errors.
  • Provides high galvanic isolation (2.5 kVAC) and a signal/noise ratio of > 60 dB.

Mounting / Installation / Programming

  • Features selectable DIP settings for convenient configuration of over 1000 factory-calibrated measurement ranges.
  • The compact 6 mm housing allows dense mounting (up to 165 units per meter of DIN rail) without air gaps between units.
  • Operates effectively within a wide ambient temperature range (-25 to +70°C).
