Pressure and Level Transmitter Keramess KS 050D Series Hengesbach

The KS050D pressure transmitter is suitable for measuring the pressure and filling level in tanks and pipes. Its capacitative measurement cell and ceramic membrane makes the KS050D the ideal candidate for use in applications with abrasive media. KERAMESS pressure transmitters are designed for a measuring range of -1/0…1bar to -1/0…70bar. Special measuring ranges are also available. The 050D series pressure transmitters are equipped with a micro-processor controlled electronics system and an accuracy of ≤ ± 0.2% FS. They are parametrised with a simple and user-friendly operating concept via 2 keys and a multi-colour status LED.

A Turn Down of up to 4 can be set using the full and empty adjustment. The large range of hygienic process connections such as e.g. the VARIVENT®, clamp DIN 32676, conical coupling with DIN 11851 groove union nut etc. guarantee the KS050D a variety of applications in the food industry and all other hygienic applications. A wide variety of process connections are also available for non-hygiene applications. Their use in hygienic applications are assisted by the robust stainless steel field housing in the IP 67 and IP 69K, which withstands extremely aggressive cleaning techniques. The KS050D pressure transmitters are highly-suited to use in applications which strict hygiene standards and basic requirements of functionality and accuracy

Features:

• mechanically robust, dry ceramic measuring cell, suitable for viscous and abrassive media
• output signal 4...20mA, turndown 4
• accuracy ≤ ± 0,2% FS
• simple calibration, even without disconnection of the transmitter, through switchable power supply plant / calibrator supply
• simple parametering via 2-key concept and multi-colour status-LED
• with hygienic and standard process connections as a fixed connection
• for measurement of pressure and filling level in tanks and pipes with basic requirements
