Sensor Box-B-06
You Have A Problem...
3:00 PM on a Friday afternoon, and you’ve just discovered a temperature sensor has failed in an important process. The
Safety Engineer wants the process shut down, but you’re under pressure to keep production moving. You’re going to spend
the rest of the afternoon in “Panic Mode,” calling every sensor supplier you can think of, begging for the best delivery at a
premium. Not very pretty.
If this sounds familiar, then the SENSOR BOX™ was developed to help improve your life. Maintenance or instrument
technicians can now build a new temperature sensor assembly, install it and the plant can be back up and running in
minutes rather than days! The SENSOR BOX™ is designed for any plant where temperature sensors are an important part
of the operation, and downtime is not an option.
We Can Help
The SENSOR BOX™ is a rugged toolbox containing all of the parts and tools to quickly and easily build the sensor you
urgently need. It is:
• Flexible - adaptable to most process plants:
- Power
- Chemical
- Refining
- Offshore Oil Production
• Comprehensive - It can include a variety of sensor types and hardware of your choice.
• Self-contained - Everything you need to build the right product is at your fingertips.
• Industrial - The toolbox and tools are rugged, designed for hard duty.
• Easy to use - Complete, easy to follow instructions are included.
How We Do It
The Sensor Box™ can be your solution to expediting, high inventory and expensive downtime. One of the challenges in
maintaining industrial temperature sensors is the variety. It is difficult for the typical process plant to stock every sensor
configuration they might need to replace – until now. By combining common parts into a modular system, a relatively
small amount of stock can translate into the variety you need – quickly, and without expediting.
Building Your Sensor Box™
A Sensor Box™ is specified in three stages, to maximize its flexibility to your needs:
1. The foundation: the Tool Box and tools required to build sensors (everything you need will be close at hand!)
2. The sensor diameter(s) required – choose based on either 0.250” or 0.188” diameters (need both? Add parts as
needed!)
3. The terminal heads required – choose either NEMA 4 or explosion-proof terminal heads (or specify option E99 and
customize the box however you like!)
