Milestones

 

2017

• Launch of the 3186B Output loop-powered current isolator. This means that the company can now offer a full program of isolation amplifiers in the 3100 series. 
• Launch of the 7501 Field mounted HART temperature transmitter in stainless steel

 

2016

• The first employee that was hired by Peter Rasmussen, Kaj Harbo, could celebrate his 40th work anniversary and received in this connection the Royal Medal for Meritorious Work. 

 

2015

• Launch of the PR 7501 Field mounted HART temperature transmitter. It allows fast diagnostics with its large display and can easily be configured in the field.  

 

2014

• PR electronics celebrates its 40th anniversary of making signal conditioning smarter and simpler.
• Sales subsidiary in Belgium established.
• Launch of the PR 3000 series of high performance temperature transmitters. The 3000 series – thus offering both temperature transmitters and signal devices - provides high accuracy, fast response time AND low temperature drift.
• Launch of the first 6 mm temperature transmitter with HART 7. The 3113 and 3337 temperature transmitters with HART 7 give future temperature applications more design and system flexibility in programming, monitoring and maintenance for both analog and digital signal outputs. 
• Training of highly educated ATEX specialists in the countries where PR is represented becomes part of PR’s internal training and education program.

 

 

2013
