Pressure transmitters deliver all the right connections

A new line of pressure transmitters that feature USB-powered plug-and-play interfaces has been announced by German industrial sensor manufacturer ADZ Nagano.

Available in the UK from ADZ’s distribution partner Variohm EuroSensor, the new USB series covers user-selectable pressure measurement ranges between vacuum and 5000 bar.

Their broad specification, with parameters adjusted according to customer needs, is aimed at general industrial and process technology applications. Generic drivers allow measurement data to be recorded and processed on computers using simple commands or as part of front-end development software.

Fully sealed IP65 protection-class housings

“Based on ADZ Nagano’s comprehensive SML series industrial pressure sensors, the USB is available with fully sealed, IP65 protection-class housings in stainless steel or titanium,” reports Variohm EuroSensor. “A wide choice of process connections is available and material in contact with media includes stainless steel, titanium, silicon, NBR or PA66, according to application needs.” A single connection cable with a USB-A connector is supplied.

General specifications include a medium temperature range of -40 °C … +125 °C and a compensated area temperature between -20 °C … +85 °C, with a typical total error at room temperature of ±0.50 % F.S. Typical measurement time response in the 10 to 90 % range is 2 msec.

“These robust and durable pressure sensors feature DIN EN 60068 shock resistance of 1000 g, vibration resistance of 20g and a shock load capability of 50g,” adds Variohm EuroSensor, which supplies and comprehensively supports ADZ Nagano’s full range of industrial pressure, temperature and level sensors.
