A range of ready-to-mount pressure sensor modules for OEMs is now available from Impress Sensors and Systems.
The DSK 701C is a ready-to-assemble capacitive ceramic pressure sensor module that offers very low pressure ranges (20 bar down to 60mbar) but extremely high overpressure resistance.
The module is Atex prepared and carries Zone 0: II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 certification.
This means the sensor module can be installed straight into a housing or on a machine, knowing that the module itself will require no additional, separate Atex certification.
Designed specifically as a cost-effective module for OEMs and machine builders, the DSK 701C can also be configured and programmed by the customer via an integrated RS232 interface.
An optional configuration kit is available, which enables the OEM to reconfigure sensors for different end user applications.
The module is connected to a PC via the RS232 interface and menu-driven programming software is used to calibrate pressures, configure starting points and end points of the pressure range, damping and offset adjustment.
'The pressure sensor module will have a wide appeal among OEMs and specialist machine builders, from waste water, sewerage and marine applications, through to manufacturers of inkjet printers,' said Sam Drury, sales and marketing director at Impress Sensors and Systems.
The DSK 701C has a ceramic membrane and offers a high turn down ratio of 10:1, without sacrificing accuracy.
For example, a 1-bar rated sensor module can be turned down to 100mbar, but the accuracy remains at 0.1 per cent and overpressure of 8 bar is permissible.
The modules are available in gauge and absolute versions with a 4-20mA output signal.
Response time is 120ms (without electronic damping) and operating temperature range is from -40C to +125C.
The unit is supplied with a PTFE filter as standard, with a brass venting tube option also available.
