Pressure Measurement & Control


Robust programmable pressure sensor

January 2017 Pressure Measurement & Control

ACS Control Systems has introduced the new robust and programmable 2-wire pressure sensor Precont PU4SE suitable for monitoring relative pressure in gases, vapours, liquids and dusts.

This equipment stands out, thanks to the adjustability, programmability via HART communication, and the small design. In addition, low pressure areas up to 1 bar are covered and the sensor has an accuracy of 0,5%. Other features and benefits of the Precont PU4SE include:

• General applications in machinery and plant engineering, air-conditioning and refrigeration plant engineering, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, process industries and environmental technology.

• Measuring ranges from 1 to 600 bar.

• Wide process temperature range –25 to 100°C.

• Protection class IP69K.

• Ceramic internal diaphragm.

• Current output 4-20 mA.

• Digital output and adjustability per RS 485

• Modbus RTU (Option).

• Connector plug M12.
