Industrial pressure switches Measuring range The measuring range (MR) of a pressure sensor corresponds to the difference between the upper and lower values measured by the load cell. It ranges between 0 and the pressure corresponding to the size of the sensor. Operating range The operating range of a pressure transmitter corresponds to its measuring range. Within this range, its analog output signal varies between 4 and 20 mA or 0 and 10 V, and is proportional to the measured pressure. The operating range of a pressure or vacuum switch is the difference between the values of the minimum low setpoint...
