Versatile Differential Pressure SolutionThe Sensocon Series 251-01 is tailored to measure wet/wet differential pressure in both liquid and gas systems. With a high allowable line pressure of 500 psi and compatibility with a variety of process media, it suits demanding operations in water treatment, HVAC, process automation, and industrial filtration. Its robust, epoxy-coated aluminum body and stainless steel wetted parts ensure long-term stability and performance, even in harsh environments.
Effortless Installation and ConfigurationThe transmitter accommodates any mounting orientation, making installation straightforward on walls or panels. An included mounting bracket and compact external dimensions simplify setup. Connections use a screw terminal block for foolproof wiring. Internal zero and span adjustments allow users to fine-tune performance on-site for optimal accuracy within the 1% F.S. specification.
Reliable, Fast-Response MeasurementEngineered for rapid system feedback, the Series 251-01 features a sub-50ms response time. The 4-20 mA output (two-wire) ensures consistent measurement transmission over long cable runs. With CE and RoHS approvals, the transmitter meets international standards and delivers dependable monitoring for critical process applications without an integrated display.
FAQs of Sensocon USA Wet/Wet Differential Pressure Transmitter Series 251-01:
Q: How do I connect the Sensocon Series 251-01 transmitter to my control system?
A: You can connect the transmitter using its screw terminal block, which supports easy and secure wiring. The device operates on a 1230 VDC power supply and provides a standard 4-20 mA two-wire current output, making it compatible with most PLCs and analog input devices.
Q: What types of media can the Series 251-01 measure?
A: This transmitter is designed to measure differential pressure in both liquids and gases. Its wetted parts made of 316 stainless steel and fluorocarbon O-rings provide chemical resistance, suitable for aggressive or corrosive process media in industrial environments.
Q: When should I adjust the zero and span settings?
A: Zero and span adjustments are recommended during installation or periodic calibration to ensure the transmitters output matches your process requirements. These adjustments are internally accessible and help maintain the instruments accuracy within 1% of full scale.
Q: Where can the transmitter be installed, and does orientation matter?
A: The Sensocon Series 251-01 can be installed on a wall or panel using the supplied mounting bracket. It is designed to function accurately in any mounting orientation, giving flexibility in placement to suit your application needs.
Q: What are the benefits of the NEMA 4X (IP66) enclosure rating?
A: NEMA 4X (IP66) ensures the transmitters epoxy-painted aluminum enclosure is dust-tight, weather-resistant, and protected against water jets, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial applications, including washdown and corrosive settings.
Q: How quickly does the transmitter respond to pressure changes?
A: The transmitter has a rapid response time of less than 50 milliseconds, allowing it to promptly capture and transmit pressure variations for real-time process monitoring and control.
