| TURCK introduces programmable output pressure sensor | ||

||
 December 28, 2007 - Minneapolis, Minn. - TURCK introduces a new programmable output high accuracy pressure sensor that allows the user to select the output as either two switch points or a 4-20 mA analog output with one switch point. The switch points are PNP/NPN programmable, and provide flexibility for applications where the output requirements are unclear. “TURCK sensors with ranges from 1 to 40 bar had their ranges extended to -1 bar,” notes Melissa Henning, product specialist with TURCK’s sensor division. “This allows the switch point or analog start point to be programmed in the vacuum range to detect pressure in a positive pressure unit if the application requires it.” In addition to the programmable output, these sensors also allow the user to select units of pounds per square inch, bar, inches of water, feet of water, millibar, inches of Mercury, meters of water, and kilograms per square centimeter. The user can simply choose the display most relevant to the application. The sensor’s stainless steel construction provides an IP 67 protection rating, and rotating and non-rotating housings are available. A UV resistant cover for use in outdoor applications is also available with the sensor. TURCK is an industry leader providing superior quality sensing, connectivity and network products to help manufacturers improve their automated processes. |
