Special Options:

Special Options (T/C and RTD’s): Chose as many special options needed. If you require two of the same option like two Weld Pads or ID tags put a letter for each item required.

Option A – Special Limits of Error (T/C only): This qualifies the accuracy of the sensor based on specified standard test points (EMF vs Temperature) set by the industry. This designates the highest tolerances available. (See page 11 for more info.)

Option B – RTD Transmitter: Head mounted transmitter, fully Linearized, Pt100 input only. Mp82800R (See page 64 for more info.)

Option C – Programmable RTD Transmitter: Head mount transmitter, fully linearized. Push-button Programmable, can be programmed in the field. Pt100 RTD 3-wire input only. Mp82850R. (See page 64 for more info.)

Option D – Universal Transmitter: Scalable over the entire range of 8 RTD’s and 12 Thermocouples. Fully-Isolated; Fully-Linearized. Hart protocol option. Mp82700 (See page 64 for more info.)

Option E – Economy Multi-input transmitter: – Pt100 RTD & Thermocouples. Fully-linearized head mount transmitter. Mp82800. (See page 64 for more info.)

Option F – Field Bendable: Sensor is able to be bent in the field. This option must be specified for Rigid Tube assemblies, TC and RTD. Mineral Insulated (MgO) assemblies are field bendable – option not required.

Option G – Shielded leadwire: Aluminized Shield with Drain Wire Reduces Electrical Noise.

Option H – High Vibration: Assemblies are reinforced to help prevent damage/failure in extreme applications.

Option I – SS ID Tag: Product Identification plate. (Electro-etching standard)

Option J – Coated Armor: Provides a moisture seal for this durable and abrasion resistant wire protection. PVC or Teflon.

Option L – Mating Connector: Assembly will be supplied with a mating connector.

Option M –
MgO Construction: Metal sheathed mineral insulation provides best construction for high temperature or heavy vibration applications. Multiple sizes and materials.

Option O – Separate Ungrounded: Isolated junction type used in dual and triplex MGO assemblies (See Diagram “JT” page 13.)

Option P – Electro-etching: Part number or other information permanently etched on probe sheath.

Option Q –
Ground Screw: For head assemblies if a ground screw is required. Not available on all connection head styles.

Option R – Faster Response Construction: Greatly increases response time in ungrounded/isolated sensors.

Option S –
Spring Loaded: Allows probe retraction for best contact with process surface. Pressure on the junction tip provides and maintains faster response.

Option T – Coated Probe: Sheath is sealed with Teflon or PVC to provide added protection in highly corrosive applications.

Option U – Butt Welded Junction: Optional welding procedure of wire thermocouples instead of twist welded.

Option V – Field Cuttable: RTD probes can be cut down to a minimum 3” length using a standard tube cutter. Sealed construction for outdoor/moisture applications.

Option W – Weld Pad: Tig welded to sheath. Formed to match tube diameter. Used to weld sensor to process surface. (See page 14)

Option X – X-Ray Junction: Sensors are x-rayed in two or four planes for weld integrity and junction location.

Option Y –
Certificate of Conformance: Certifies the material being provided meets the specifications and requirements of the purchase order.

Option 2 –
High Temperature Oxidation Coating: A special coating to help prevent oxidation at high temperatures.

Option 3 – Test at Process Temperature: Sensor tested at required temperature (2000oF max) for extended period or cycled.

Option 4 –
BX Connector: 1/2 inch BX connector added to the sensor leadwire where required.

Option 5 –
Soak Test: (Ungrounded junctions only) Sensor junction is immersed in water for a minimum of four hours to check for potential cracks in the sheath or weld. The sensor must then pass a 100 VDC meg check immediately after it is removed from the water. This test is standard on all GIC utility sensors.

Option 6 –
Tip Sensitive RTD: For applications that require a tip sensitive element instead of the standard area sensitive element.

Option 7 – Rigid Tube Construction: Sheath is made from rigid metal tubing instead of MgO filled.

Option 8 – No Heat Shrink on Probe.

Option 9 – No Crimp on Probe.

Option Z – Special: (Consult Factory) Most of the sensors we make at GIC are custom so if you don’t see what you are looking for give us a call.
