2.2 Description
The model TR21 miniature resistance thermometers consist of a temperature sensor and a
protection tube with a hygienic process connection.
Any change in the temperature causes a change in the resistance of the sensor in the
temperature sensor.This change can be measured directly or can, optionally, be converted
into a 4 ... 20 mA signal proportional to the temperature.
The protection tube is used to adapt the thermometer to the process and protects the
sensor against harsh process conditions. Furthermore, the detachable connection from the
protection tube in the TR21-A and TR21-B variants enables the removal of the temperature
sensor without having to open the process. In this way, any hygienic risk is minimised
and it is possible to calibrate the entire measuring chain (sensor, transmitter if required,
connection cable) on site, without having to disconnect the electrical connections.
This document describes standard versions of instruments. For applications in hazardous
areas special instrument designs are required.
For further information for operation in hazardous areas, see the additional information for
the corresponding ignition protection type (separate document).

3.2 Intended use
The model TR21 resistance thermometer has been specifically designed for the
measurement of temperatures in vessels or pipes, in the range of -30 … +150 °C
[-22 ... +302 °F] or -30 … +250 °C [-22 ... +482 °F], which are used in sanitary applications.
Here, the protection tube is used to protect the temperature sensor from the process
conditions. Furthermore, the detachable connection from the protection tube in the TR21-A

▶
Operation using a defective power supply unit (e.g. short circuit from the
mains voltage to the output voltage) can result in life-threatening voltages
at the instrument!
▶
Carry out mounting work only with power disconnected.
This is protection class 3 equipment for connection at low voltages, which are separated
from the power supply or voltages of greater than AC 50 V or DC 120 V. Preferably, a
connection to an SELV or PELV circuit is recommended; alternatively protective measures
from HD 60346-4-41 (DIN VDE 0100-410).

5.3 Behaviour of the electrical output signal
■
Sensor break and short circuit
Sensor break or short circuit are signalled after positive detection (after
approx. 1 second). If this fault condition has been caused by a malfunction, then
a relevant measuring signal must exist for approx. 1 second in order to return to
measuring mode. From the time of the error detection up to the error signalling, the last
relevant measured value will be delivered on the current loop.
Therefore, in the event of a “true” sensor break or short circuit, this is also signalled
permanently. In the event of a “false” sensor break or short circuit, the transmitter has the
possibility of reverting to measuring mode.
■
Medium temperature outside the span
If the medium temperature exceeds that configured within the transmitter, the transmitter
will operate in a linear fashion within the following limits: 3.8 mA (MRS); 20.5 mA (MRE).
If these limits are exceeded, then an error will be signalled.
■
Hysteresis on return to the measuring span
After the linear error limits have been exceeded, on return to the measuring span, a
hysteresis of 0.1 mA must be passed. This hysteresis prevents the transmitter from
jumping back and forth between error and measuring mode.

■
With the process connection via an instrumentation T-piece, the length L of the branch
(connection to the measuring instrument) must not be longer than the inner diameter D
of the branch (rule: L ≤ D). For protection tubes reaching into the branch, this diameter d
shall be substracted from the inner diameter of the branch D (rule: L ≤ D - d).
6.4 Cleaning in place (CIP) cleaning process
■
Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for the seals used.
■
Cleaning agents must not be abrasive nor corrosively attack the materials of the wetted
parts.
■
Avoid thermal shocks or fast changes in the temperature.The temperature difference
between the cleaning agent and rinsing with clear water should be as low as possible.
Negative example: Cleaning with 80 °C and rinsing at +4 °C with clear water.
■
For tank mounted sensors the tank cleaning devices shall be positioned in such a way
that the sensor can be assessed and is perfectly cleaned.
