August 3, 2011 - Invensys Operations Management releases the Foxboro 876EC. a 2-wire loop powered intelligent transmitter that, when used with appropriate electrochemical sensors, provides measurement, local display and transmission of electrode-less conductivity or concentration. The Foxboro 876EC transmitter is full featured for electrodeless conductivity applications. It offers easy configurability, a rugged field-mounted enclosure for the most challenging industrial environments and agency certifications for hazardous electrical areas. The Foxboro 876EC offers a wide choice of sensing and configuration selections, resulting in long service life, quick and easy application set changes and savings in both material and labor costs.
HART communications and a time-saving HART Device Type Manager integrates it with the plant’s asset management strategies.
Key capabilities:
- Rapidly customized to specific application requirements, including conductivity and concentration;
- Resolves conductivity measurements as low as single digit uS/cm and as high as 2000 mS/cm;
- Saves and restores up to two unique configuration profiles facilitating a quick and easy change;
- Can be preconfigured for up to three different applications, each with its own display format, temperature compensation curve, chemical concentration curve (if applicable) and output configuration;
- Applications can be auto-switched using user programmable switch limits.
For example, the transmitter can switch from a wide range conductivity application to a sensitive conductivity application without the need to recalibrate the system for the new range.
