Purpose
Overview
Depending on the variant, the pressure transmitter measures corrosive, non-corrosive and hazardous gases, vapors and
liquids.
With appropriate configuration, you can also use the differential pressure transmitter for the following measurement types:
● Level
● Volume
● Mass
● Volume flow
● Mass flow rate
The output signal is always a load-independent direct current between 4 and 20 mA upon which a HART protocol is
superimposed.
You can install the "Intrinsically safe" or "Flameproof enclosure" version of the transmitter in hazardous areas. The devices
have an EC type-examination certificate and meet the regulations applicable to them, for example, the harmonized
CENELEC standards in Europe.
Transmitters with remote seals of different shapes can be delivered for special applications. For example, measuring high-
viscosity substances is a special application.
Operate the device in accordance with the specifications in section Technical data (Page 27).
For additional information, please refer to the operating instructions for the device.
