Features
The pressure sensors of series DS-KE-R are ceramic measuring cells 
in thick lm technology for measurement of static and dynamic relative 
pressure in liquids and gases. Typical areas of application are in the 
eld of pneumatics, hydraulics and in industrial applications.
Because the material is a ceramic (Al2O3), the sensor has an outstan-
ding stability against aggressive and corrosive media.
The delivery spectrum covers the entire pressure range of 1.6...600 bar 
FS with 14 variants for different measuring ranges. The outer dimensi-
ons of all the types are maintained same so that they can be tted in the 
same mechanical housing construction.
The sensor is made up in the form of a full wheatstone bridge. The 
output signal is a pressure dependent differential voltage, that can be 
directly processed further with an instrument amplier or an ASIC.
The sensor is temperature compensated, hence in most of the appli-
cations, the circuit design efforts are reduced to only simple zero point 
and gain setting.
A printed circuit board, matching with the sensor, is available which 
gives out an processed and calibrated voltage output of 0...10 V or 
current output of 4...20 mA.
