FAQs of Sensocon USA Miniature Low Cost Differential Pressure Gauge Series S-5003:
Q: How is the Sensocon Series S-5003 differential pressure gauge installed for optimal performance?
A: The gauge is designed for surface mounting using the provided bracket and hardware. Depending on your setup, you can select between back or bottom connection orientations for the 1/8 NPT low pressure connections, ensuring a secure and efficient installation.
Q: What maintenance is required for ensuring the long-term accuracy of this gauge?
A: The Series S-5003 is factory calibrated and requires minimal maintenance. Regularly inspect the analog display for dust or obstructions, and ensure connections remain sealed. Avoid exceeding the 2x full-scale overpressure limit to protect the gauges integrity.
Q: Where can the Series S-5003 gauge be used most effectively?
A: Ideal locations for the Series S-5003 include HVAC ductworks, clean rooms, air handling units, and filter monitoring points. Its compact size and IP30 ingress protection make it suitable for controlled indoor environments where low differential air pressure needs regular monitoring.
Q: What benefits does using this differential pressure gauge provide for system operators?
A: Operators gain from its fine analog resolution, which enables early detection of system imbalances, such as filter clogging or airflow inconsistencies. This leads to predictive maintenance, improved air quality, and reduced downtime in industrial processes.
Q: When should the gauges scale range be customized for specific applications?
A: Custom scale ranges should be selected when your applications differential air pressure falls outside the standard ranges of 0-3 wc up to 0-30 wc. This ensures the readings are precise and fully suited to the system being monitored.
Q: What type of pressure does the Series S-5003 measure and with what accuracy?
A: This model measures low differential air pressure, offering an accuracy of 5% of the full scale. It is not intended for high-pressure or liquid applications, focusing exclusively on air pressure within industrial environments.
Q: Is the Series S-5003 compliant with international standards, and what materials are used?
A: Yes, the gauge is RoHS compliant and features a precision molded ABS plastic housing, synthetic rubber seals, an acrylic face, printed metal dial, and plastic pointer. These materials ensure lasting performance and adherence to industrial safety requirements.
