  • Electrical interfaces: Angular connectors, M12 × 1 circular connector and cable outlet options.
  • International approvals: cULus and EAC options for applicable versions.
  • Test documentation: A factory test certificate is available.

Suitable Applications

  • Hydraulic and pneumatic systems: Monitor system pressure in machinery and actuators.
  • Pumps and compressors: Provide pressure feedback for equipment monitoring and control.
  • Machine building: Integrate pressure measurement into industrial equipment.
  • Shipbuilding: Support pressure monitoring in compatible onboard systems.
  • Measurement and control technology: Supply electrical pressure signals to PLCs and monitoring devices.

Technical Highlights & Selection Considerations

Before ordering, confirm these key requirements:

  • Pressure range and type: Select gauge, absolute or compound pressure measurement as required.
  • Accuracy: Choose 0.25% or 0.5% non-linearity according to the application's measurement needs.
  • Output signal: Match the transmitter output to the receiving PLC or controller.
  • Process connection: Verify thread standard, size and sealing arrangement.
  • Electrical connection: Check connector type, pin assignment and cable length.
  • Medium compatibility: Confirm wetted materials and permissible medium temperature. Standard versions may use 316L stainless steel wetted parts, with specifications varying by configuration.

The A-10 is intended for general industrial applications rather than every specialised process. Verify pressure peaks, temperature limits and required approvals against the selected version's datasheet.
