Honeywell's PX3 Series Heavy Duty Pressure Transducers use piezoresistive sensing technology with ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) signal conditioning in a brass housing and Metri-Pack 150, DIN, or cable harness electrical connections. The PX3 Series is calibrated and temperature compensated from -40°C to 125°C [-40°F to 257°F].
Value to Customers
Total Error Band (TEB) ±1.0 %FSS from -20°C to 85°C: Provides indication of the sensor̵7:s true measurement performance over a specified temperature range: small error promotes system uptime and efficiency.
Higher insulation resistance and dielectric strength: Protects the user and sensor in high over-voltage situations, and ensures that the device is compliant with industry standards.
Higher EMC performance: Operates more reliably in the presence of electro-magnetic fields, such as near wireless signals, RF communication, and electrical devices.
Higher external freeze/thaw resistance: Survives exposure to frost, commonly found in refrigeration systems.
Reduced current consumption: Helps to reduce energy costs, and enhances product life if used in battery driven systems.
Media compatibility: Common HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerants (R410A and R134A), next generation low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants (R448A/Solstice® N40, R32 and R1234ZE), engine oil, petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, brake fluids (DOT3), and dry air. For ammonia and other corrosive media, see Honeywell's SPT Series.
Differentiation
Optional diagnostics mode: Beneficial in applications where the sensor functionality and the need to know internal or external failure modes is critical.
