Product catalog summary

Overview: The x|act ci is a precision pressure transmitter designed for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. It features a ceramic sensor with high accuracy and media stability, suitable for measuring gases, steam, and fluids.

Specifications: The transmitter offers a nominal pressure range from 0 to 160 mbar up to 0 to 20 bar, with an accuracy of 0.1% FSO according to IEC 60770. It supports a 2-wire output signal of 4 to 20 mA, with other options available upon request. The device is capable of a turn-down ratio of 1:5 and includes a hygienic version with a flush-mounted, capacitive ceramic sensor.

Optional Features: Explosion protection with intrinsic safety (ia) and HART® communication are available as optional features.

Performance: The transmitter maintains an accuracy of ≤ ± 0.2% FSO for pressures below 1 bar and ≤ ± 0.1% FSO for pressures above 1 bar. It has a long-term stability of ≤ ± 0.1% FSO per year and a response time of 200 milliseconds.

Environmental and Mechanical Stability: The device operates within a medium temperature range of -25 to 125°C and an environmental range of -20 to 70°C. It is protected against short-circuit and reverse polarity, with electromagnetic compatibility according to EN 61326. It withstands vibrations up to 5 g RMS and shocks up to 100 g.

Materials and Construction: The pressure port is made from stainless steel 1.4404 (316L), with optional PVDF for certain connections. The housing is stainless steel 1.4301 (304), and the diaphragm is made from 99.9% Al2O3 ceramic.

Explosion Protection: The device is approved for use in hazardous areas with specific ATEX certifications, suitable for zones 0/1 and 20.

Miscellaneous: The x|act ci includes an LC display with a 5-digit main display and a 52-segment bargraph. It has an ingress protection rating of IP 67 and a minimum weight of 400 g. The operational life is rated at 100 million load cycles.

Applications: Ideal for use in food and beverage, chemical and petrochemical industries, and laboratory techniques, particularly with viscous and pasty media.
