 MST10 - pressure transducer :

GENERAL

Micron Meter's MST10 is a high accuracy pressure transmitter holding to ±0.05% of reading between 10% to 100% of range and 0.1% of reading from 1% to 10% of range. This accuracy is held between 4°C and 40°C (40°F to 140°F).

APPLICATIONS

This transmitter is designed to provide excellent accuracy for monitoring process control pressures in an environment with uncontrolled temperatures, or in the laboratory as a calibration standard.

All sensors are absolute devices with a tare adjustment that can be used to zero out the barometric pressure offset for a gage reading. The tare adjustment can be logged to show the absolute pressure or gage pressure.

The standard interface is RS-232C; both RS-422 and RS-485 formats are available as options. The transmitter is user programmable to select data output at rates of 300 to 9600 baud. In addition, the user can perform a variety of tasks over the RS-232C interface including:

  • Zero offset adjustment;
  • Select from 21 different Engineering Unit headers
  • Set high and low alarms
  • Query the identification of the pressure sensor; and
  • Adjust the electronic "dampening" to provide a more stable output.

No special software is required to interface with this sensor. Most of the commercially available modem interface packages are capable of interfacing with the sensor without handshaking.
