Input Signal
Fluid Level or Fluid‐to‐Fluid Interface Level: From 0 to
100 percent of displacer length—standard lengths for
all sensors are
J 356 mm (14 inches) or J 813 mm
(32 inches); other lengths available depending on
sensor construction
Fluid Density: From 0 to 100 percent of displacement
force change obtained with given displacer
volume—standard volumes are
J 980 cm
3
(60 inches
3
) for 249C and 249CP sensors
or
J 1640 cm
3
(100 inches
3
) for most other sensors;
other volumes available depending upon sensor
construction

Output Signal
See table 1
Output Action
J Direct (increasing fluid or interface level or specific
gravity increases output pressure) or
J Reverse (increasing fluid or interface level or
specific gravity decreases output pressure)

Normal Operation: See table 4.
Maximum to Prevent Internal Part Rupture

Steady‐State Air Consumption
See table 4
Proportional Band, Differential Gap, or Span
See table 1
Set Point (Controllers Only)
Continuously adjustable to position control point or
differential gap of less than 100 percent anywhere
within displacer length (fluid or interface level) or
displacement force change (density)
Zero Adjustment (Transmitters Only)
Continuously adjustable to position span of less than
100 percent anywhere within displacer length (fluid
or interface level) or displacement force change
(density)
Performance
Independent Linearity (Transmitters Only):
1 percent of output pressure change at span of 100
percent
Hysteresis: 0.6 percent of output pressure change at
100 percent of proportional band, differential gap, or
span
Repeatability: 0.2 percent of displacer length or
displacement force change
Deadband (Except Differential Gap Controllers
(3)
):
0.05 percent of proportional band or span
Typical Frequency Response: 4 Hz and 90‐degree
phase shift at 100 percent of proportional band,
differential gap, or span with output piped to typical
instrument bellows using 6.1 meters (20 feet) of 6.4
mm (1/4‐inch) tubing
Ambient Temperature Error: ±1.5 percent of output
pressure change per 28_C (50_F) of temperature
change at 100 percent of proportional band,
differential gap, or span when using sensor with
standard wall N05500 torque tube
Reset (Proportional‐Plus‐Reset Controllers Only):
Continuously adjustable from 0.005 to over 0.9
minutes per repeat (from 200 to under 1.1 repeats
per minute)
Anti‐Reset Differential Relief (2502F and 2502FR
Controllers Only): Continuously adjustable from 0.14
to 0.48 bar (2 to 7 psi) differential to relieve excessive
difference between proportional and reset pressures
