Effortless configuration and programming
Efficient device setup and programming are key to reducing commissioning time and simplifying maintenance. Our accessories range includes a variety of tools to make this process effortless. For PC-based configuration, the Loop Link 5909 communications interface and our PReset software provide a powerful and intuitive platform. For modern, wireless connectivity, the 277 USB HART modem and the 278 Bluetooth Low Energy HART modem offer an easy way to connect to your HART devices. For those looking to develop custom interfaces, our 5824 Arduino shield provides a flexible platform for innovation.
Precision connections for temperature measurement
Accurate temperature measurement, particularly with thermocouples, depends on high-quality connections. Our range of CJC (Cold Junction Compensation) connectors are designed to ensure the highest level of precision. By compensating for the ambient temperature directly at the termination point, these connectors eliminate a common source of error. We offer standard versions like the 5910 and 5913, as well as Ex-approved versions (5910Ex, 5913Ex) for use in hazardous areas, ensuring accuracy and safety are never compromised.
Calibration and simulation tools
Regular testing, calibration, and simulation are vital for maintaining a reliable process. Our portfolio includes a wide array of tools that are invaluable for commissioning, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance. This includes a range of shunt resistors (e.g., 7005, 7006) for current measurement and simulation, as well as various multi-turn and single-turn potentiometers and dials (e.g., 7009, 7011) for simulating sensor inputs and adjusting device parameters. These tools provide the precision needed to verify and optimize your process loops.
Secure mounting and installation hardware
Professional and secure installation is ensured with our range of mounting hardware. We offer a variety of DIN rail fittings, stoppers, and profiles to help you create clean, organized, and robust panel layouts. For our plug-in device series, the 11-pole relay socket (7023) provides a secure and reliable connection. We also provide safety-enhancing accessories, such as the 7002 spring clip, which adds an extra layer of security for our system 2200 devices, ensuring they remain firmly in place even in high-vibration environments.

What Modbus networking cables and connectors does PR electronics supply?
For RS-485 Modbus networking with PR 4511 communication enablers, PR electronics supplies the PR 8510 (pre-wired cable for connecting up to 8 units), PR 8511 (Y-splitter cable for expanding connections), and a range of RJ45 components: PR 8513 (termination plug), PR 8514 (Y-splitter), PR 8515 (adapter), PR 8516 (shielded adapter), and PR 8517 (shielded Y-splitter). These purpose-built cables and connectors ensure proper impedance matching, termination, and shielding for reliable RS-485 communication, and eliminate the need for custom-made network wiring.
What are the CJC (Cold Junction Compensation) connectors, and when are they needed?
CJC connectors (PR 5910 for channel 1, PR 5913 for channel 2, with Ex-rated variants 5910Ex and 5913Ex) provide cold junction compensation reference for thermocouple inputs on PR electronics signal conditioning devices. When a thermocouple is connected to a transmitter or converter that requires external CJC, these connectors contain a precision temperature sensor at the terminal junction point. The CJC connector measures the terminal temperature and enables the device to calculate the true process temperature by compensating for the reference junction error — essential for accurate thermocouple measurement.
What is the PR 5824 Arduino shield, and what is it used for?
The PR 5824 is an Arduino-compatible shield designed for the Arduino MEGA 2560 platform. It provides a user interface for prototyping and developing custom solutions that integrate with PR electronics signal conditioning devices. This accessory enables engineers and students to build custom monitoring, data logging, or control applications using the open-source Arduino ecosystem while interfacing with PR electronics' professional signal conditioning hardware. It bridges the gap between industrial instrumentation and rapid prototyping environments.
What field enclosure options are available for PR electronics devices?
The PR 8501 is a field enclosure designed for housing PR electronics signal conditioning devices in harsh outdoor or field environments where standard control cabinet installation is not available. It provides physical and environmental protection for one or more DIN-rail mounted devices. The PR 8421 DIN rail fitting accessory provides additional mounting flexibility. The PR 8335 splash-proof cover adds protection for devices installed in locations where water spray or splashing may occur. These accessories extend the installation options beyond standard control room cabinet environments.
What inductive proximity sensors does PR electronics offer as accessories?
PR electronics offers four inductive proximity sensor models (PR 8341, 8342, 8343, 8344) as accessories. These are standard industrial proximity sensors designed for use with PR electronics pulse isolators and frequency converters (e.g., PR 3202, 3225, 4222, 4225, 5202A). They detect the presence of metallic objects without physical contact and generate a switching signal (typically NAMUR or NPN/PNP) that is processed by the connected PR electronics signal conditioning device. Applications include rotational speed detection, position sensing, and production counting.
What spare parts are available for the PR 7501 field-mounted transmitter?
PR electronics offers a complete set of field-replaceable spare parts for the PR 7501: PR 8552 (pipe mounting bracket for securing the transmitter to a 2-inch pipe), PR 8555 (replacement display module with LOI — Local Operator Interface), PR 8556 (replacement display module without LOI), PR 8557 (display/transmitter mounting bracket), and PR 8558 (transmitter mounting bracket). These spare parts allow field replacement of damaged or worn components without replacing the entire transmitter assembly, reducing maintenance costs and downtime in remote installations.
