In addition to its first fully electronic contact manometer, ifm electronic now offers a new version with a conical G1 process connection that enables exact orientation thanks to its rotating housing.
PG type contact manometers available so far have either an Aseptoflex Vario process connection for hygienic areas or a G ½ process connection for hydraulic applications. Units with a conical G1 thread, in combination with the available adapters, now enable the flush installation best suited for hygienic applications.
Further advantages are optimum readability thanks to an electronic pointer and the rotatable display with LED bar graph for switch point indication. It is not only the display that can be rotated, but the complete process connection. In addition, the manometer has a 99,9% ceramic measuring cell with high overall accuracy of 0,2%. Parameterised output functions such as switch points, NC/NO and hysteresis, are set via touch buttons and indicated on the LED display.
