An electrical process control sensor assembly 10 for sensing a process or machine parameter, the assembly 10 including a sensor body 12 and a head 14, the body 12 defining a body interior 20. The assembly includes a sensing device 22 at least partially located in the body interior 20. The head 14 defines a head interior 24 which communicates with the body interior 20. The assembly 10 includes a connector arrangement 26 located in the head interior 24. The assembly 10 includes internal communicating members 28 extending between the sensing device 22 and the connector arrangement 26, the connector arrangement 26 connecting, in an installed condition, the internal communicating members 28 to external communicating members 30 to permit electrical communication therebetween. The head 14 defines a port 34 through which the external connecting members 30 are located in the installed condition. The assembly 10 includes a mounting 48 for mounting the head 14 to the body 12 which is arranged to permit adjustment of the orientation of the head 14 relative to the body 12.
An electrical process control sensor assembly for sensing a process or machine parameter, the assembly including a sensor body and a head, the body defining a body interior, the assembly including a sensing device at least partially located in the body interior, the head defining a head interior which communicates with the body interior, the assembly including a connector arrangement located in the head interior, the assembly including internal communicating members extending between the sensing device and the connector arrangement, the connector arrangement connecting, in an installed condition, the internal communicating members to external communicating members to permit electrical communication therebetween, the head defining a port through which the external connecting members are located in the installed condition, the assembly including a mounting for mounting the head to the body, the mounting being arranged to permit rotation of the head relative to the body around a position on a mounting axis.
A method of sensing a process or machine parameter, the method including providing an electrical process control sensor assembly for sensing a process or machine parameter, the assembly including a sensor body and a head, the body defining a body interior, the assembly including a sensing device at least partially located in the body interior, the head defining a head interior which communicates with the body interior, the assembly including a connector arrangement located in the head interior, the assembly including internal communicating members extending between the sensing device and the connector arrangement, the connector arrangement connecting, in an installed condition, the internal communicating members to external communicating members to permit electrical communication therebetween, the head defining a port through which the external connecting members are located in the installed condition, the assembly including a mounting for mounting the head to the body, the mounting being arranged to permit rotation of the head relative to the body around a position on a mounting axis.
