These pressure transducers are designed for low pressure and very low pressures and pressure differences measuring. They may be used in wide application in a branch of air-conditioning, ventilation, combustion process control, clean rooms monitoring, equipment design, etc. These transmitters can measure positive and/or negative pressure differences or overpressure and/or underpressure against ambient atmosphere, eventually measuring of absolute or barometric pressure.
The medium being measured may be a non-aggressive gas; some exceptions must be consulted with producer. Measured media is directly in contact with silicon diaphragm, nickel plated brass, silicone rubber, plastics polyetherimid. Pressure connections are optional. All components of the transmitter are placed in robust box from aluminum alloy, which serves as a good mechanical and electrical protection. The box is fixed by two screws, which are accessible after disclosure the lid and are out of the sealed internal space, so that protection is IP65. For electrical connection serves internal terminal block with screws for cable with metal grommet PG-9. For some outputs can be used also sealed latched mini connector type DIN 43650 - C with cabel grommet PG7, witch enables to use cable diameter of max. 6,5mm.
SP transducer measures the pressure by means of a silicon diaphragm on a piezoelectric principle. Therefore this transducer attains a good overload endurance, is resistant against vibrations and output is independent on work position. Electronic circuitry is realized by a surface mount technology and for increasing protection is passivated
by a coat.
Electric signal from sensor is after amplifying converted by 16bit ADC to digital format. By means of two-dimensional polynomial approximation of 3rd order transmitter is calibrated and temperature compensated. With special agreement it is possible to compensate down to -20°C. Output pressure value can be read directly via serial port RS485, RS 232 or USB. Transmitter has special output stage, which convert calculated value to analogue value 4-20mA (two-wire) or 0-20mA, 0-10V, 0-3V(three-wire). Particular analogue outputs can be switch by software and it is possible to change measuring pressure range and set other parameters, for example damping etc. In addition it is possible at analogue outputs to switch linear conversion characteristics to switching two-state one and realize logic levels with voltage output. Transmitters can be fitted with output switching module, which has small relay with one contact and two independent outputs with NPN transistors with open collector with LED indication. All switching parameters can be set only via software. Next option is 4 or 5 digit LCD with white LED back lighting. There is also place for FLASH memory, where can be stored measured data with desired period (without timestamps).
Transmitters can be supply with DC voltage with wide range from 5 to 35 Volts. Change in this range has no effect to measurement accuracy.
Software configuration is realized via special USB adapter with program for Windows. Transmitter can be supplied from USB and due to adapter totally DC isolation can be connected to PC whenever in the final application.
