The S01 pressure transmitter is especially designed with high shock and vibration resistance for off-highway vehicles. Available with pressure ranges from 0-60 to 0-800bar, this absolute or gauge pressure sensor is ideal for vehicle-mounted hydraulic systems, but also has the accuracy and stability required for a wide range of research and process industry applications.
The device is based on a piezoresistive measuring element, which is housed within a compact all-stainless-steel package that is just 62.5mm long and 25mm in diameter. The housing is sealed to IP65 and will tolerate ambient temperatures from -20 to +80C, making the S01 pressure transmitter rugged enough to survive the off-highway environment, while also being suitable for washdowns in the process environment. Also useful in process applications, the S01 will operate with media at temperatures from -40 to +120C. Vibration resistance is an impressive 20g from 100Hz to 1kHz, further ensuring reliability under arduous conditions.
In terms of accuracy, the S01 pressure transmitter boasts linearity better than 0.3% of full scale, and this is maintained over time, with stability of better than 0.4% of full scale per year, ensuring long maintenance intervals for any equipment in which it is installed.
In addition to being compact and lightweight (weighing in at less than 90g), the pressure transmitter is also low in power consumption, drawing a maximum 20mA current from its wide 9-16V DC supply. The output is 0.5-5V DC, simplifying integration with standard indicators and data acquisition systems. Electrical connection is via a Lemo size 0B cable connector, which provides protection against both reverse polarity and short circuits. The pressure connection is via an industry-standard 3/8-24UNF thread, with other threads available as options.
