It is suitable for accurate measurement of low positive / negative gauge pressure or differential pressure of air and clean gases.

Working Principle:
DE46 is based on highly sensitive capacitance sensor element to measure positive gauge, negative gauge (vacuum) or differential pressure. The measuring pressure is applied directly on micro-machined silicon-on-glass capacitance sensor element. DE46 internal micro-controller transferred measured values to LED display and operates two internal limit relays / switches, which can be used for alarm / control functions.
With transmitter option, the measured value can be transmitted as voltage or current signal output after conversion by a D/A converter module.
The output signal, thus can be filtered, scaled and inverted accurately by digital controller.
