The P-5215 Differential Pressure
Transmitter accurately measures
differential pressure and
converts the measurement into a
proportional 3 to 15 PSIG (21 to
105 kPa) output signal. This
instrument can be used in a
variety of control applications
including static, velocity, and
differential pressure control.
Operation
The P-5215 is used with the low
input acting as a reference less
than, greater than, or equal to
atmospheric pressure. As the
differential between the low and
high inputs increases, an
internal mechanism will
proportionally increase the
output signal of the P-5215. The
output at zero differential is
3 PSIG (21 kPa). When the
differential reaches its
maximum, as defined by the
range, the output will be
15 PSIG (105 kPa).
Note: The P-5215-4, with a
range of -.05 to .05 in. WG
(-12.45 to 12.45 Pa), is an
exception to this rule. The
output for the P-5215-4 is
3 PSIG when the pressure to
the high input “H” connection
is .05 in. WG
less than
the
pressure to the low input “L”
connection, and 15 PSIG when
the pressure to the “H”
connection is .05 in. WG
greater than
the pressure to
the “L” connection. The
output at zero differential is
9 PSIG (63 kPa).
