Dual-channel temperature converter Inputs for RTD & thermocouples Battery powered LED & pushbuttons for status & set up
The WirelessHART gateway is the core element of a wireless mesh network. It serves as the interface between the mesh network and the plant’s process control or asset management.
The WirelessHART adapter can be connected directly to the interface of any field device. This can be a conventional 4…20 mA or an intelligent HART device.
The WirelessHART Temperature converter offers two terminals to connect RTD or TC temperature sensors. It is designed to transfer measurements directly to the network.

Temperature Corrosion
A simple WirelessHART temperature sensor can be used to detect & diagnose problem situations long before they result in failures & influence plant availability.
Ideal Applications or Locations
WirelessHART monitoring instruments can be placed at important measurement points along pipelines in places that previously couldn’t be reached.
Ideal Applications or Locations
WirelessHART makes it easier & more cost effective to monitor the levels in process & storage tanks by eliminating the need to manually take & record the measurements.
Ideal Applications or Locations
Level Control
Motors Pumps & cooling devices Resources that need monitors
Long pipelines located in remote locations
Plants with moving vehicles & changes in location
Storage vessels Process tanks
