Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model 256 Gauge Pressure Transducer is designed for a variety of industrial applications, including process control, chemical processing, and natural gas pipeline monitoring. It is known for its ruggedness and reliability, housed in a die-cast aluminum enclosure suitable for NEMA 4/IP65 service.
Specifications: The transducer offers a wide range of pressure measurements from 0-1 to 0-10000 PSI (0-1.6 to 0-700 BAR). It features high accuracy, low cost, and compatibility with corrosive liquids or gases due to its all stainless steel wetted parts. The device operates on a low-cost unregulated power supply and provides options for voltage or current output.
Design and Installation: The compact design (3.6” high x 4.0” wide) allows for easy installation with 1/2 inch internal threaded conduit ports for electrical termination. The removable cover facilitates access to the internal terminal strip for wiring.
Performance and Environmental Data: The transducer operates within a temperature range of -40 to +185°F (-40 to +85°C) and withstands shock up to 200g and vibration up to 20g. It is environmentally protected to NEMA 4/IP65 standards.
Electrical Data: For voltage output, the circuit is 3-wire with an excitation range of 9 to 30 VDC, and for current output, it is 2-wire with a 4-20 mA output. The device is calibrated at the factory for optimal performance.
Ordering Information: The transducer can be ordered with various pressure fittings and output options. Example part number: 2561500PG2M11 for a 256 Transducer with a 0 to 500 PSIG range and 4-20 mA output.
Compliance and Standards: The product calibration is NIST traceable, and quality standards are based on ANSI-Z540-1. It holds U.S. Patent numbers 3859575 and 4054833.

Available in a wide variety of gauge pressure ranges, the 256 also features adjustable potentiometers for zero and span settings. Only 3.6” high x 4.0” wide, the Model 256 is designed for compact installations. The removable cover provides easy access to the internal terminal strip for wiring. Installation is quick and easy with 1/2 inch internal threaded conduit ports for electrical termination. NOTE: Setra quality standards are based on ANSI-Z540-1. The calibration of this product is NIST traceable. U.S. Patent nos. 3859575, 4054833 Setra’s Model 256 industrial pressure transducer is one of the most rugged and reliable sensors available. The Model 256 is packaged in a die-cast aluminum enclosure that is specifically designed for NEMA4/IP65 service. Setra’s robust capacitive design is resistant to environmental effects, such as shock, vibration, temperature and EMI/RFI. Superior mechanical and thermal stability is achieved through Setra’s patented variable capacitance sensor. Its fundamentally simple design features an insulated electrode plate in close proximity to the sensor diaphragm, which forms a variable capacitor. As pressure increases or decreases, the capacitance changes. This change When it comes to a product to rely on - choose the Model 256. When it comes to a company to trust - choose Setra - an ESOP (Employee Owned) Company.
