The Phoenix Contact MCR-SL-PT100-SP is a precision temperature monitoring relay designed for seamless integration with Pt 100 sensors in a 2-wire configuration. This component is adept at converting the resistance measurements from the Pt 100 sensor into binary switching signals, offering a broad temperature measuring range from -100 °C to +700 °C.
Engineered for accuracy, the MCR-SL-PT100-SP features an adjustable switching hysteresis and a relay PDT output, ensuring reliable performance in various industrial applications. The switching point can be finely tuned using internal DIP switches for coarse adjustments and an external potentiometer for fine-tuning, allowing for precise control over the temperature thresholds.
The relay output is constructed with high-quality, hard gold-plated contacts capable of handling a maximum switching voltage of 30 V AC/36 V DC, with a maximum switching current of 50 mA for the gold layer and 2 A for a destroyed gold layer at 250 V AC. The unit also includes a red LED for error indication (short-circuit/wire break) and a yellow LED to signal relay activity.
With a compact housing material of non-reinforced Polyamide PA, the device measures just 12.5 mm in width, 99 mm in height, and 114.5 mm in depth, making it suitable for space-constrained environments. The MCR-SL-PT100-SP operates within an ambient temperature range of -20 °C to +65 °C and is rated at IP20 for protection against solid objects.
This temperature monitoring relay is CE-compliant and recognised by UL standards, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements for industrial applications in the UK and beyond. Its electrical isolation feature enhances process safety by providing galvanic separation between the sensor signal and the monitoring circuitry.
The Phoenix Contact MCR-SL-PT100-SP is an essential component for industries requiring precise temperature monitoring and control, such as in process engineering, manufacturing, and automation systems. Its robust design and flexible configuration options make it a reliable choice for maintaining optimal operating conditions and safeguarding critical processes.
