Mouser is now stocking the latest MEAS wireless pressure transducers TE.
These 24-bit ADC pressure and temperature sensors eliminate the need for
hard wiring by providing wireless remote process control and monitoring
through Bluetooth 4.0 communication. Forged in a highly durable stainless
steel and polycarbonate enclosure, these weatherproof pressure transducers
are designed to measure liquid, gas and even difficult high-pressure mediums
in harsh industrial environments.
The company’s transducers are dual-input, high-accuracy pressure and
temperature sensors designed with an ADC with 24-bit resolution using I2C
output protocols. Signal pairing and transmission distance is up to 65 feet
with both devices, and each device is powered using a CR2050 350mAH battery
that lasts approximately two years. The wetted material of the M5600
pressure port is created using either a 17-4 PH or 316L stainless steel and
polycarbonate enclosure, whereas the U5600 is made of a 316L stainless steel
and polycarbonate enclosure. Both the M5600 and U5600 are extremely durable
with no O-rings, welds or organics exposed to the pressure media, and are
weatherproof based on IP66 and IP67 ratings. Temperature accuracy for both
devices is ±3C, and the pressure range is 0 to 5psi up to 15,000psi. The
device is rated down to ±0.25 percent pressure accuracy, and the U5600 is
rated down to ±0.1 percent pressure accuracy. The devices may also be used
in harsh conditions such as contaminated water, steam or mildly corrosive
fluids.
Both transducers are available now in a broad assortment of port
configurations, and are targeted toward many types of RF wireless and
sensor-based applications, including industrial process control and
monitoring, advanced HVAC systems, refrigeration systems, automotive test
stands, off-road vehicles, pumps and compressors, hydraulic/pneumatic
systems, agriculture equipment, energy generation and management, and pool
pump monitoring.
