With a digital display and selectable differential pressure ranges, these transmitters are a versatile alternative to transmitters with dial indicators. Unlike a standard transmitter that has one wider differential pressure range, these transmitters have multiple ranges to choose from. The selectable pressure range means they are more accurate than standard transmitters since their accuracy applies to each small range rather than a single wide range. They can also be configured to output either current or voltage, while standard transmitters typically output one signal type. The digital display allows you to troubleshoot and monitor differential pressure at the source. Also known as transducers, they measure the difference in pressure between two inputs and convert it to an electrical signal that can be interpreted by receiving devices, such as remote displays, programmable logic controllers, and motor speed controls. They are often used to indicate a filter is clogged or help you maintain a certain air pressure in ovens, dryers, and HVAC systems. All are rated UL 94 V-0, so they meet flammability standards. CE marked, they also meet European safety standards.

When measuring pressure in ductwork, pair them with a static pressure probe.

For your receiving device to interpret the signal from the transmitter, you will need to calibrate it for the transmitter's differential pressure range and output signal. As differential pressure increases, the output signal from the transmitter will increase. Transmitters will only provide accurate readings within the rated pressure range.

Connect them using two wires when using the current output. The same wire is used to send a signal to the receiver and to power the transmitter. Current doesn’t lose signal over long distances and isn’t affected by electrical interference from other devices. For voltage output, connect them using three wires—two wires into the power supply and a separate wire to send a signal to the receiver. The receiver and the transmitter share a common ground wire back to the power supply.

IP66 rated transmitters protect against dust and washdowns. NEMA 4X rated transmitters protect against dirt, weather, corrosion, and washdowns.
