Turck's new generation of pressure controls sets standards of performance, ease of use, robustness and adaptability to different applications conditions. The metal housing incorporates a piezoresistive measuring cell, a microprocessor-controlled processor unit and an operator friendly display and configuration unit.
Electrical connection is via an M12 plug connector and outputs are either 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 V, both available with an optional transistor output selectable PNP or NPN. A relay output version is also in the range. Supply voltage is 24 Vac.
