Digital auto-zero and span option for transmitters
Industrial and precision pressure transmitters incorporate versatile zero and span trimmer that removes the need to adjust potentiometers or use handheld terminals to set the 4 to 20mA current output.
Display plugs in for pressure readout
A novel loop-powered display simply plugs-in between the DIN plug and socket of a pressure transmitter to provide a local indication of the pressure reading.
A variety of pressure connections appropriate to autosport applications are available and the electrical connection to the motorsport datalogger or engine management system is provided by a booted Raychem DR25 cable protected to IP67.
To ease installation the AS pressure transducer has a hex nut fitted to the back of the sensor to facilitate easier removal and fitting of the sensor into hard to reach or recessed areas.
There is a choice of electrical signals to suit different autosport electronics: 0.5 to 5V driven by a 8-16V power supply or a 0.5 to 4.5V ratiometric signal driven by a 5V power supply.
All motor sport pressure ranges are covered by the AS compact pressure sensor starting from 1bar gauge or absolute to cover lower ranges such as engine oil, airbox and fuel pressure and up to 400bar for measuring hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel system and brake fluid pressures.
The AS pressure sensor has a rugged construction to withstand a high vibration environment and low noise RFI filtering is incorporated into the electronics to protect from two way radio interference.
