3.2 Applications
Overview
The pressure transmitter is available in the gauge pressure and absolute pressure versions.
The output signal is a load-independent direct current of 4 to 20 mA which is linearly
proportional to the input pressure. The pressure transmitter measures aggressive, non-
aggressive and hazardous gases, vapors and liquids.
It can be used for the following measurement types:
• Gauge pressure
• Absolute pressure
With appropriate parameter settings, it can also be used for the following additional
measurement types:
• Level
• Volume
• Mass
The "intrinsically-safe" EEx version of the transmitter can be installed in hazardous areas
(zone 1). The devices have an EC type examination certificate and comply with the
appropriate harmonized European CENELEC standards .
