The new PS17 differential pressure transmitter
improved measurement precision and a new housing
The PS17 measures differential pressures between ± 50 Pa und ± 10 kPa. The measurement precision of the piezoresistive silicon sensor system is extremely high at ± 1% of the final value and remains highly stable over the long term – a marked improvement over its predecessor, the PS27. The switchable version of the PS17 allows customers to select the right measurement range from four different options. In addition, the output signal can adjusted within a range of 0/4 .. 20 mA or 0/2 .. 10 V via a DIP switch, or, if desired, as a root-extracted characteristic curve. Users can also fine-tune the final value by ± 5% and perform zero-point calibrations. The new, robust housing snaps into place, making it easy to open – and that saves time. Two horizontal and vertical holes drilled into the housing exterior allow users to mount the unit on a wall without a mounting plate. The device can also be mounted on top-hat rails. Its protection class of IP65 means that it can be used indoors or out.
