The Ares, Model A70-T Air Temperature Transmitter provides an analog signal proportional to air temperature.  Standard signal formats include 4-20 mA, 0-1 VDC & 0-1mA.  A nickel wire resistance temperature device (RTD) is used to detect temperature.  A radiation shield such as Model 41002 shown above is recommended in applications where the temperature sensor may be exposed to direct sunlight.  Several radiation shields are available (contact factory for details). Ares is used in conjunction with electronic data collection systems or for input to control systems. They are readily combined with meter relays to provide custom controls.

Systems are available with outputs of 0-1 mA, 0-1 V or 4-20 mA. All systems may be powered from either 120 VAC, 230 VAC or 12 - 24 VDC.

The instruments are available in a variety of packages including steel JIC boxes meeting NEMA 12 standards, weatherproof fiberglass enclosures meeting NEMA 4X, IP66 and IEC 529 standards and track mounted versions. NEMA 12 enclosures provide protection from dust for indoor applications. NEMA 4X enclosures may be used indoors or outdoors. They provide protection from corrosion, wind blown dust and rain and are undamaged by ice. Track mounted versions are intended for mounting inside an enclosure provided by the user. Where required, electrical connection to the sensor is via terminal block. A barrier strip is provided for connection to operating power.

Each system is provided with a detailed instruction manual.
