Description
The WIKA T32 HART Temperature Transmitter delivers superior process accuracy, functional safety, and universal sensor conditioning for chemical plants, refineries, and offshore facilities across the UAE.
Advanced Signal Conditioning with the WIKA T32 HART Temperature Transmitter
Designed for mission-critical industrial processes, the WIKA T32 HART Temperature Transmitter converts inputs from resistance thermometers, thermocouples, resistance sensors, and millivolt sources into a stable 4 to 20 mA loop overlaid with HART digital communication. Its advanced microprocessor design features high galvanic isolation to eliminate ground loops and protect connected plant control systems.
Available in both DIN EN 50446 Form B head-mounted housings and compact DIN rail packages, the instrument adapts to field enclosures and central control cabinets alike. With full SIL 2 and SIL 3 functional safety certifications, the unit ensures maximum process uptime and dependable measurement integrity in high-risk environments.
Key Features and Engineering Highlights
- Universal Input Capability: Connects to 2-, 3-, or 4-wire RTDs, all common thermocouple calibrations, potentiometers, and direct voltage sources.
- Functional Safety Compliance: Certified to IEC 61508 SIL 2 (single device) and SIL 3 (redundant architecture) by TÜV.
- HART Interoperability: Compatible with all standard HART field communicators, AMS, and FDT/DTM configuration tools.
- Extensive Diagnostics: Continuously monitors sensor integrity, lead resistance, and hardware health per NAMUR NE 43 guidelines.
- Flexible Installation Options: Select between head-mount (T32.1S) for local probe integration or rail-mount (T32.3S) for control panels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mounting configurations are available for the WIKA T32 HART Temperature Transmitter?
The transmitter is manufactured in two primary variants: the head-mounted puck (model T32.1S) for installation inside DIN EN 50446 Form B connection heads, and the rail-mounted version (model T32.3S) for 35 mm DIN rails in automation cabinets.
Is the transmitter compatible with handheld field communicators?
Yes. Because it uses standard HART communication, the transmitter connects seamlessly with Emerson 475, Trex, Yokogawa, and PC-based FDT/DTM packages using standard Device Descriptions (DD).
