Patent ID: 8902553

Claim:
A measuring arrangement for determining at least one measured quantity, comprising: at least one sensor device for generating at least one measurement signal, at least one transmitter device for generating at least one output signal from at least the at least one measurement signal, and wherein the at least one transmitter device has at least one control device, at least one switch device and at least one signal output setting device, wherein the at least one signal output setting device is adapted for producing the at least one output signal, wherein the at least one switch device has a first state and a second state, wherein the at least one control device is connected to the at least one signal output setting device when the at least one switch device is in the first state, wherein the at least one signal output setting device is adapted for generating at least one fault signal as an output signal when at least one of the at least one switch device being in the second state and the at least one signal output setting device being disconnected from the at least one control device, wherein the at least one control device is adapted for acting on a power supply of the at least one sensor device, wherein the at least one sensor device is adapted for acting on the switch device, wherein the at least one sensor device is adapted for keeping the switch device in the first state when the at least one sensor device is supplied with energy above a definable minimum value, and wherein the at least one control device is adapted for reducing power supplied to the at least one sensor device to a definable boundary value when the control device recognizes the presence of a fault state.
