Hart In-Head Temp Transmitter
GEN310 SERIES
The GEN310 is an encapsulated in-head temperature
transmitter with an integral spring mounting kit that
replaces the standard connecting block in the sensor
head. It is small in size yet has a performance superior
to other larger and more expensive transmitters.
The GEN310 has full HART communications protocol
which allows the user to quickly and easily download
information or interrogate the device enabling the
following:•
•
•
•
•

•

Simple re-ranging of sensor type and range.
Easy on site re-calibration
Self documentation.
Operation with proprietary software packages
such as AMS Plant WebTM and CornerstoneTM
Remote configuration over the 4-20mA loop
using a hand held communicator or a PC &
HART modem.
On-line digital communication concurrent
with a 4-20mA analogue signal

Custom Linearisation
The [X]*1 facility allows the GEN310 to be
programmed with a custom linearisation to suit non
standard sensors or sensors with unusual or unique
characteristics. Consult the sales office for details.
Sensor Burn Out Detection
If any sensor wire is broken or becomes disconnected
the GEN310 output will automatically go to its user
defined level (upscale or downscale). This happens
irrespectively of which wire is broken.
Output Current Preset
For ease of system calibration and commissioning
the output can be set to a predefined level anywhere
in the 4-20mA range.

Communication Foundation.

All the standard HART universal and common usage
commands are fully implemented, with other device
specific commands that enable access to the
enhanced performance parameters of the GEN310.
Some of the enhanced GEN310 features are as
follows;
Sensor Referencing
The GEN310 sensor referencing via the Windows based
M-config software allows for close matching to a
known reference sensor eliminating possible sensor
errors.
User Calibration
In addition to sensor referencing user offset and
current output trimming is possible via the HART
commands.
