Pressure Modules and their Naming Conventions
MC4's software refer to pressure modules as follows:
NPM200mC
which means that there is an internal pressure module installed with
a -200 to +200 mbar (-3 to +3 psi) pressure range.
The names of MC4's internal pressure modules start with the letters
NPM. The names also include numbers and possible additional
letters as follows:
• The number defines the max. nominal pressure in the SI
pressure unit bar.
• If the number is followed by a small "m", the given max. nominal
pressure is given in mbar.
• The additional letter C means the pressure module is a
compound module with an ability to also measure negative
gauge pressures.
Examples: Name Measurement range in psi
NPM200mC ±200 mbar ± 3
NPM20C -1  20 bar -14.5  300
NPM160 0  160 bar 0  2400
Notes.
Compound modules with a max. nominal pressure above 1 bar (e.g.
IPM20C) are able to measure negative pressures down to -1 bar.
Compound modules with a max. nominal pressure below 1 bar (e.g.
IPM200mC) are only able to measure as deep negative pressures
as positive pressures.
External pressure modules have a naming convention that is similar
to internal ones.
