Mode of operation
●
The inlet pressure is converted into an electrical signal by the sensor ①.
●
This signal is amplified by the measuring amplifier ② and digitized in an analog-to-digital
converter ③.
● The digital signal is analyzed in a microcontroller ④ and corrected with regard to linearity
and thermal characteristics.
● The digital signal is then converted in a digital-to-analog converter ⑤ into the output current
of 4 to 20 mA.
A diode circuit provides reverse polarity protection.
