162 Low Differential Pressure Transducer

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model 162 Series consists of low range differential pressure transducers and transmitters designed for various applications such as HVAC control, clean rooms, and air flow monitoring. These units feature a stainless steel pressure sensor and a plastic enclosure meeting NEMA 1 standards, with protection against short circuits and incorrect wiring.
Specifications: The pressure range for these models spans from 0 to 0.1"WC up to 0 to 100"WC, with both unidirectional and bidirectional options. Outputs are available in 0-5VDC, 0-10VDC, and 4-20mA. Accuracy levels are offered at 0.6%, 0.4%, and 0.25% at room temperature. The units are temperature compensated and feature a patented variable capacitance pressure sensor for enhanced performance and stability.
Performance Data: The accuracy at room temperature can be ±0.60%FS, ±0.40%FS, or ±0.25%FS. Non-linearity, hysteresis, and non-repeatability are specified with varying degrees of precision. The thermal effects on zero/span shift are minimal, and the units are stable with a ±0.5% FS/YR stability rating.
Environmental and Physical Description: The operating temperature range is 0 to 170°F, with storage temperatures from -40 to 185°F. The units are equipped with terminal strip electrical termination and standard 3/16” O.D. barbed brass pressure fittings. The enclosure is made of stainless steel and PC+ABS alloy, rated 94V-0.
Applications: These transducers and transmitters are suitable for HVAC and VAV control, clean rooms, duct static pressure measurement, draft control, fume hood control, furnace air flow control, and power plant air flow monitoring.
Features: Key features include 15 PSI overpressure capability, protection against incorrect wiring, availability of nonstandard pressure ranges, and true zero output for voltage units. The products are RoHS compliant.
Ordering Information: The ordering code includes pressure unit, range, type, output, accuracy, certificate, and pressure fitting options. Custom configurations are available upon request.

162 Low Differential Pressure Transducer-1

The Model 162 Series are low range differential pressure transducers and transmitters. Each unit features a stainless steel pressure sensor, a stainless steel back cover and a plastic enclosure, which meets the NEMA 1 requirement. The electrical terminal screws and adjustment holes are concealed beneath a detachable plastic cap. All units are fully protected against short circuiting and incorrect wiring. The Model 162 Series are available for full scale pressure range from 0 to 0.1"WC till 0 to 100"WC. Both unidirectional and bidirectional pressure ranges are offered.The output of the Model 162 Pressure Transducer is available in two versions: 0 to 5VDC and 0 to 10VDC, where 0VDC is true zero without offset. The output of Model162 Pressure Transmitter is 4 to 20 mA. All units are temperature compensated. The accuracy can be 0.6%, 0.4% or 0.25% at room temperature. The patented variable capacitance pressure sensor is constructed by stainless steel and glass, no glue or other organics. That provides excellent performance, corrosion resistance and long-term stability. Additionally, our unique production setup allows us to accommodate special orders for nonstandard pressure ranges (e.g. -0.5"WC to +3.5"WC). alpha" instruments Applications: ■ HVAC and VAV Control ■ Clean Rooms and Isolation Rooms ■ Duct Static Pressure Measurement ■ Draft Control and Fume Hood Control ■ Furnace Air Flow Control ■ Power Plant Air Flow Monitor and Control Features • 15 PSI Over Pressure • Incorrect Wiring Protection • Nonstandard Pressure Ranges • True Zero Output for Voltage Unit • RoHS Compliant Performance Data Accuracy* (at room temp) Non-Linearity (BFSL) Hysteresis Non-Repeatability Thermal Effects: Zero/Span Shift (/°F) Compensated Range Maximum Line Pressure Overpressure Stability Warm-up Time Position Effect 40 to 170°F (4 to 77°C) 15PSI(100kPa) 15PSI(100kPa) in Positive or Negative Direction for all Ranges ±0.5% FS/YR 5 seconds to meet specifications Each unit is calibrated in the vertical position.
