The transmitter consists of a plastic sensor-housing and a membrane of silicon LSR. The differential pressure affects the membrane which is connected to the sensor element. The element is manufactured with state-of-the art technology with a ceramic beam onto which thick-film resistors have been applied. The pressure on the membrane causes a movement which is transferred to the ceramic beam. Flexing of the beam gives changes in resistance. The changes in resistance are transmitted by means of built-in electronics to an analogue output signal. The measuring element gives a rapid response and a high level of accuracy. The properties of the ceramic element ensure that the transmitter has excellent long-term stability.
Display
DTL is also available with LCD display (3 ½ digits ) on the front showing the current pressure. See also model DMD, leaflet 4-340 for differential pressure sensor with display.
