Better than 0.01% FS Accuracy ! ! RS-485 interface ! Available with Oil-filled Capillary Tube for Water Level Measurement Long term stability better than 0.01% FS per 6 months Pressure output in choice of engineering units APPLICATIONS ! ! ! ! Meteorological and barometric reference Low cost, high accuracy pressure standard Pressure calibration equipment Storage tank/liquid level determination Series 970 Intelligent QuartzonixTM Pressure Standards incorporate proven high accuracy vibrating quartz beam technology with low power miniature digital electronics to achieve a fully compensated 0.01% FS pressure measurement. QuartzonixTM pressure standards use a patented monolithic quartz structure and vibrating beam to measure pressure-induced stress. The beam's frequency of vibration changes by pressure induced stress that is applied to the beam via a miniature metal bellows. The bellows isolates the quartz sensing element from the applied gas, thereby making the sensor insensitive to gas density. The Intelligent QuartzonixTM has a resolution of 0.001% FS, and drift rates of less than 0.01% FS over a 6-month period. The Series 970 uses a multi drop, 9600 baud ASCII character RS-485 type interface, allowing a network of up to 31 transducers on the same bus. The output pressure measurement is user programmable for both the pressure units and update rate. The update rate is capable of 9 readings per second. The extremely low power consumption design with a programmable sleep mode makes the Intelligent QuartzonixTM ideal for remote battery powered applications. Pressure Systems, Inc.
