Pressure Measurement & Control


ATEX approved pressure meters

January 2008 Pressure Measurement & Control

The new IN-PRESS pressure meters by Bronkhorst High-Tech are modular instruments of rugged design in accordance with IP65. They can be combined with close-coupled control valves to form compact digital pressure controllers, whereby pressure ranges are measured and controlled from 0-400. The instruments are ATEX approved for use in Category 3, Zone 2 hazardous areas.

Analog (input/output) I/O signals and an RS232 interface are featured. In addition to this there is the possibility of integrating an interface for supporting DeviceNet, Profibus-DP, Modbus or FLOW-BUS protocols is optional. The basic unit features (proportional integral differential) PID control and alarm and diagnostic functions are provided.
