Panel Mount Temperature Transmitters

Panel Mount or DIN Rail Mount Temperature Transmitters Introduction

 A DIN rail is used to mount switches, relays, and transmitters. The rail itself is a piece of metal that is shaped to enable a device (such as a transmitter) to be attached using a spring clip, which slides into a bend in the metal rail and secures itself. The metal rail, complete with attached transmitter, can then be attached to a panel or a wall. The acronym DIN stands for Deutsches Institut fur Normung, which is the German Institute for Standardization. DIN rail transmitters, also called panel mount transmitters, are usually found in diverse applications because they are relatively low-cost and can operate with an array of different sensors. Because of the DIN rail configuration, they are also easy to install. They are somewhat less accurate than weather- and explosion-proof transmitters because of the longer wiring configuration necessary for securing the transmitter. For temperature transmitters, rail mounting is the oldest mounting method.
