1.2 Sensors
1.2.1 IDS sensors
IDS sensors
support the automatic sensor recognition
show only the settings relevant to the specific sensor in the setting menu
process signals in the sensor digitally so that precise and interference-free
measurements are enabled even with long cables
facilitate to assign a sensor to a measured parameter with differently colored
couplings
have quick-lock couplings with which to fix the sensors to the meter.
Sensor data from
IDS sensors
IDS sensors transmit the following sensor data to the meter:
SENSOR ID
– Sensor name
– Sensor series number
Calibration data
Measurement settings
The calibration data are updated in the IDS sensor after each calibration pro-
cedure. A message is displayed while the data are being updated in the sensor.
1.2.2 Wireless operation of IDS sensors
With the aid of the adapters in the IDS WLM System, IDS sensors with plug
head connectors (variant P) can be wirelessly connected to your
Multi 3620 IDS.
Information on available IDS sensors is given on the Internet.
In the measured value display, you can display the sensor name
and series number of the selected sensor with the [Info] softkey.
You can then display further sensor data stored in the sensor with
the [More] softkey (see section 4.1.6 S
ENSOR INFO).
