PS85-352R-P2R2

Pressure sensors, transducers and the PS85-352R-P2R2 are a popular choice for a range of applications. These devices are found in industrial systems, medical processes, infrastructure, and aerospace applications to measure and manipulate pressure variables in both static and dynamic conditions.

The PS85-352R-P2R2 pressure transducer is a full range device capable of measuring pressure within a range of 15psi–3500psi. It features on-board temperature compensation to ensure accurate readings in environments where temperature may vary. The transducer is a dual output device, providing both analog and digital signal outputs. The “R” in the model number indicates that the analog signal is 4-20mA for current. The “P” and “2” indicate that the digital signal is a 0-5V pulse width modulation (PWM) signal.

The construction of an industrial grade PS85-352R-P2R2 is an integrated package containing the pressure sensing element and the signal conditioning electronics. The pressure sensing element is typically an oil-filled, capacitive diaphragm which has two thin metal plates that are charged to respond to changing pressure. This changing pressure alters capacitance which is then converted to an output voltage. The signal conditioning electronics then convert the voltage to an analog and digital signal, which are sent to the external device connected to the transducer.

The method of installation for a PS85-352R-P2R2 is to mount the device onto the pressure source of interest. The mounting location should be selected for optimal accuracy and reliability, such as a location where the pressure source is dry and clean. The ideal location may also depend on the pressure type and source, as well as the application process. Once mounted, the two output wires of the transducer should be connected to the external device for measurement and control.

When working correctly, the PS85-352R-P2R2 performs highly accurate pressure measurement in both static and dynamic environments. It is highly resistant to shock, vibration, and over pressure, making it suitable for hazardous applications. It is also highly precise with 0.1% full scale accuracy ±0.15% linearity. Overall, the PS85-352R-P2R2 is a reliable and accurate choice for a wide range of pressure sensing applications.
