3. Product Specifications & Features
3.1 Core Specifications
The FOXBORO RH101FQ is optimized for Pt100 RTD inputs (3-wire/4-wire), covering a wide temperature range (-200°C to +600°C) to fit both low-temperature pipeline and high-temperature reactor needs. Its ±0.1% FS accuracy at ambient temperature ensures precise temperature sensing, while ±0.2% FS accuracy over the full range minimizes drift caused by environmental changes—critical for long-term stable monitoring.
The 4–20 mA analog output enables direct connection to legacy control systems, and HART 7.0 supports remote configuration (e.g., temperature unit setting) and diagnostic checks (e.g., RTD open/short detection). The stainless steel 316L process connection resists corrosion from chemicals and saltwater, and IP66/NEMA 4X housing protects against dust and water jets—suitable for outdoor substations and washdown areas.
3.2 Key Features
- RTD Specialization: Optimized for Pt100 inputs (3-wire/4-wire) to maximize temperature measurement precision, avoiding compatibility issues with mixed sensor types.
- Wide Temperature Coverage: -200°C to +600°C range fits diverse industrial scenarios, from cryogenic processes to high-temperature reactions.
- Robust Environmental Adaptability: IP66/NEMA 4X housing and -40°C to +85°C operating range handle harsh conditions, reducing downtime from environmental damage.
- Remote Diagnostics: HART 7.0 enables real-time monitoring of RTD health (e.g., wire breakage), allowing proactive maintenance before measurement failure.
- Easy Integration: 2-wire loop power design and standard process connections simplify installation, cutting wiring and setup time.
