   • High Overload Tolerance: Withstands up to 5× rated load without permanent damage, critical for applications with sudden tension spikes .
2. Modular Design:
   • Three Versions:
     • Standard (PFTL101A/B): Pluggable cables for general industrial use .
     • Mill Duty (PFTL101AE/BE): Fixed cables and reinforced housing for paper machine dryers .
     • Acid Resistant (PFTL101AER/BER): AISI 316L stainless steel for wet-end paper processing .
   • Field Replaceability: Individual components (e.g., cables, connectors) can be serviced without removing the sensor from the process line .
3. Signal Conditioning:
   • Built-in Amplifiers: Convert raw mV/V signals to industry-standard 4–20 mA or 0–10 V outputs, reducing noise interference .
   • Temperature Compensation: Maintains accuracy within ±0.05% FS over the full operating temperature range .
4. Diagnostics:
   • Self-Test Function: Continuously monitors sensor health and triggers alarms for open circuits or cable faults .
   • Real-Time Data Logging: Supports integration with SCADA systems for trend analysis and predictive maintenance .

Application Scenarios
