Budget pressure transmitter is compact and robust
Barksdale Control Products has launched the UPA 5 electronic pressure transmitter.
Based on piezoresistive sensor technology, Switch 2000 offers greater precision than traditional mechanical pressure switches.
It has an accuracy of +/-0.5% f.s., repeatability of +/-0.1% f.s., no switch point drift and is designed to operate over measurement ranges of 0 to 10 bar up to 0 to 600 bar.
In addition, the new device offers 2 switch outputs, peak pressure value memory and can operate in temperatures ranging from -25C to +100C.
With a compact, IP65 rated, aluminium die cast housing and stainless steel wetted parts, the new pressure switch offers long term stability and is resistant to both shock and vibration.
In particular, each new Switch 2000 device is subjected to significant shock and vibration testing and are proven to withstand up to 10g for vibration and up to 50g for shock.
The new Switch 2000 pressure switch also incorporates a range of safety features.
They are self monitoring and are designed for permanent monitoring of varying parameters configured via an easy to programme tamper proof keypad, which can be locked to prevent unauthorised access.
Visual display, including error indication, is provided by a 3 digit, 7 segment LED alphanumeric display, which also offers both bar or psi readings.
David Thomas, UK and Ireland Sales Manager at Barksdale Control Products explains, "We anticipate that the new Switch 2000 pressure switch is going to be as popular as the recently launched UDS7.
In particular, the new pressure switch is ideal for high volume OEM applications, due to low unit cost combined with high performance and accuracy. Request a free brochure from Barksdale Control Products ...
We have been able to achieve economical pricing by reducing assembly times and carrying out final calibration in batches of ten.".
