STS is pleased to announce the NEW PTM Series 40 precision rangeable pressure transmitters / transducers suitable for Test & Measurement applications in a wide range of industries. With a static accuracy of better than 0.1% and a total accuracy, including temperature of 0.15%, the PTM is ideal for production test and development projects in automotive, aerospace, engines, compressors, process monitoring and control, and many other similar applications. The PTM features a rugged modular design in 316 SS with an extensive range of pressure and electrical fittings. Full scale ranges from 1 through 15,000 psi are available with a proof pressure of typically greater than 300% FS. Operating process temperatures from -40° to +300° F are acceptable. The supply voltage from 9 to 33 VDC provides a 2-wire current loop output of 4 to 20 mA for the full scale range selected. A 4:1 programmable turndown is incorporated enabling each transmitter to be optimized for the particular application selected, thus maximizing resolution and reducing the need for excess inventory to suit different measurement requirements. • Pressure ranges- Any range from 1 to 360 psi FS available, in • any engineering units such as psi, Pa, • inches H20, bar. • Absolute or gauge types available • Proof pressure- FS up to 15 psi: 45 psi • FS > 15 psi up to 360 psi: 3 x FS, • (max. 360 psi) • Consult factory for higher proof pressure • Operating temperature range- 25 to 125°F (process media) • Compensated temperature range- 25 to 125°F • Supply voltage- 9 - 33 VDC • In? uence of supply voltage < 0.1% FS • Max. Load resistance- RL ?
