Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a modular measuring system including a sensor element designed to be inserted into a process connection arranged in a pipe wall or container wall, and a transmitter unit that serves to process and/or transmit electronic and/or electrical signals representing the measured variable and generated by the sensor element, wherein the transmitter unit can be connected mechanically to the process connection by a coupling unit, wherein the coupling unit is arranged on an end region facing the process connection of the transmitter unit, and wherein the coupling unit can be mechanically connected to the process connection and mechanically disconnected from the process connection such that a latching element of the coupling unit arranged inside the coupling unit carries out a relative movement in relation to a counter body that can be connected mechanically to the latching element and that is arranged in the process connection.
