IFM TA2502 Temperature Transmitter -50-200°C 4-20mA IO-Link IP69K

Overview
The IFM TA2502 (TA-030CLER12- - /US) is a high-performance RTD temperature transmitter designed for precise temperature measurement in hygienic industrial applications. Featuring a Pt1000 measuring element (Class A to DIN EN 60751) with a measurement range of -50°C to 200°C, this compact transmitter delivers high accuracy across the entire temperature range. The device provides a scalable 4…20 mA analogue output (invertible) and integrated IO-Link V1.1 communication (COM2, 38.4 kBaud) for remote parameterisation, process data readout, and diagnostics.

The hygienic design, with stainless steel (316L/1.4404) wetted parts electropolished to Ra < 0.8 and EHEDG/FDA-compliant materials, meets the strict sanitation requirements of the food and beverage industry. Rated IP67, IP68, and IP69K, the transmitter withstands dust, continuous immersion, and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. With a pressure rating of 160 bar (vacuum resistance down to -1000 mbar), response time T09 < 2 seconds, power-on delay of only 2 seconds, and MTTF of 232 years, the TA2502 is built for demanding process applications including food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
