Model: HD9408.3B | Make: Delta Ohm |
Category: Barometric Pressure
The barometer transmitter HD9408.3B makes use of a temperature-compensated, high-accuracy piezoresistive sensor. With its exceptional precision, temporal stability, great repeatability, minimal hysteresis, and outstanding temperature behavior, it enables monitoring atmospheric pressure in the range of 0…1350 hPa for digital outputs or 500…1200 hPa for analog outputs. The use of a piezoresistive silicon sensor that incorporates a pressure-sensitive and a temperature-sensitive element led to improved performances.
A microprocessor processes the pressure and temperature measurements to provide an output signal that is corrected over the transmitter’s whole, broad temperature working range: -40…+85 °C. The sensor is calibrated in the factory at several locations and temperatures that fall within its operating range. The transmitter is available in three versions which differ in the output type:
1. | HD9408.3B.1: configurable 0…5 V or 1…5 V analogue voltage output and digital RS232, RS422 or RS485 output. Standard MODBUS-RTU and NMEA 0183 protocols. | 2. | HD9408.3B.2: active configurable 0…20 mA or 4…20 mA current output and digital RS232, RS422 or RS485 output. Standard MODBUS-RTU and NMEA 0183 protocols. | 3. | HD9408.3B.3: digital SDI-12 output, compatible with version 1.3 of the protocol. |
The pressure and temperature readings are processed by a microprocessor to provide an output signal that is adjusted over the transmitter’s entire, wide temperature operating range: -40…+85 °C. In the manufacturer, the sensor is calibrated at a number of places and temperatures that are within its functioning range.
The device is best suited for meteorological applications (AWOS, Automated Weather Observing Systems), environmental monitoring systems, meteorological and environmental data logging, measurement laboratories, atmospheric pressure compensation in internal combustion engine performance, barometric pressure compensation in clean rooms, and vehicle emission tests. Since it uses so little power, it is perfect for remote acquisition systems like solar-powered automatic weather stations. 10–30 Vdc DC power supply.
