Need to get accurate temperature readings and access Smart HART® data in remote locations and other settings where power and signal connections are limited?

The new THZ WirelessHART® package from Moore Industries offers a complete solution to transmitting temperature measurements and critical HART diagnostic information to a WirelessHART gateway – even if power is not readily available.

Now available as an ordering option with the THZ, the solution combines a rugged battery-powered HART temperature transmitter with the BULLET WirelessHART Adapter by MACTek. This solution is both affordable and reliable along with being extremely easy to set up and install.

Cost Savings

Designed to reduce long-term costs, the THZ WirelessHART solution can be installed without the need for additional power or signal wiring. Its use of off-the-shelf D-type lithium batteries avoids the need to buy and stock special batteries. The design of the BULLET also helps to reduce costs by optimizing the balance between power needs and wireless communications bandwidth. Finding this balance lets the solution have a projected battery life of more than five years while delivering outstanding performance.

Dependability

The THZ reliably provides accurate temperature readings. It has an industry-leading 20-bit input resolution, and with its long-term stability specifications it provides up to five years of service between scheduled calibrations. The BULLET prevents the loss of critical temperature readings by monitoring the battery voltage and setting a HART alarm when it nears critical levels. The weatherproof IP66 NEMA Type 4X housing is available for installation in rugged field areas.

Ease of Use

The BULLET works with HART 5, 6 and 7 devices and can be easily factory-configured or field-configured using standard HART handheld communicators or HART-capable host systems. The BULLET also supports programming via a DTM with an FDT-compliant host. It offers easy access to HART handheld connections and battery voltage monitoring terminals
