How to Maintain Temperature Transmitters?

Regular Cleaning:

Dust, dirt, corrosive substances, and other contaminants may accumulate on the housing and probe of UTB3 temperature transmitters , affecting their performance and lifespan. Therefore, regular cleaning (e.g., monthly) is necessary. Wipe the housing with a clean, soft cloth to remove surface dust and grime. Exercise particular caution with the probe to avoid damage. If stubborn stains appear on the probe surface, use an appropriate cleaning agent (ensure it is non-corrosive to the probe) for cleaning. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely.

Zero and Span Calibration:

Over time, the zero point and measurement range of the UTB9 temperature transmitter may drift, leading to measurement errors. Therefore, regular calibration is required (e.g., quarterly or semi-annually). The calibration process requires a high-precision standard thermometer as a reference. Compare the temperature transmitter's readings with those of the standard thermometer. If deviations exist, adjust the transmitter using its calibration function to align its readings with the standard values.

Check Wiring and Connections:

Inspect the temperature transmitter's wiring for tightness, loose connections, damage, or corrosion. Loose wiring may cause unstable signal transmission, leading to measurement errors or equipment malfunctions. For plug-and-socket connections, ensure tight, secure contact. Promptly repair or replace any faulty wiring or connectors.

Environmental condition inspection:

UTI6 Temperature transmitters have specific operational requirements regarding temperature, humidity, vibration, etc. Regularly verify that the transmitter's operating environment meets these specifications. Excessively high or low temperatures may impair transmitter performance; excessive humidity may cause moisture damage to electronic components; and intense vibration may loosen internal components. If environmental conditions are found to be unsatisfactory, take appropriate measures to improve them, such as installing air conditioning, dehumidification equipment, or vibration damping devices.

Functional Testing:

Periodically test the functionality of the temperature transmitter to verify that its output signal is normal. Use a signal generator to simulate input temperature signals and observe whether the transmitter's output signal exhibits a linear relationship with the input signal and meets its technical specifications.

Replacement of Consumable Parts:

Certain components within the temperature transmitter, such as fuses and batteries (if applicable), are consumable parts requiring regular inspection and timely replacement. Fuses protect the equipment during faults like short circuits; when a fuse blows, promptly replace it with one of the same specification. For battery-powered temperature transmitters, regularly check battery charge levels and replace batteries when power is low to ensure normal operation.
