Selecting the Transducer Type
Gauge and High Temperature Gauge Transducers
The Gauge Transmitter is normally used on dry and pressure neutral locations.
The Gauge Transmitter is available in 4 ranges:
• 0 - 3.5 mH
2
O.
• 0 - 7.0 H

• 0 - 16.0 mH

• 0 - 35.0 mH

Absolute Transducers
The Absolute Transmitter is typically used if the amplifier is exposed to water, e.g. on open
deck.
The Absolute Transmitter is available in 2 ranges: 0 - 20 and 0 - 35 mH
2
O. In practice this
means
10 mH
2
O less than the nominal range because of the atmospheric pressure which must be
taken into consideration when choosing the transducer.
A transducer with an effective range larger than the tank height should be selected.
Type
A Absolute Trans-
ducer
The absolute transducer has no breather pipe, because it refers
to absolute vacuum. An atmospheric pressure sensor is used to
compensate for the atmospheric pressure. The absolute trans-
ducer is especially suitable for open deck applications, where
the amplifier box may be exposed to flooding.
G Gauge Trans-
ducer
The gauge transducer is fitted with a breather pipe at the back
of the diaphragm to compensate for the atmospheric pressure.
The breather pipe is connected to a vent plug in the amplifier
box. The gauge transducer is suitable for most applications.
H High Tempera-
ture Gauge
Transducer
The transducer is mounted with a special high temperature
cable and designed for heated tanks e.g. HFO tanks, and other
applications with high tank media temperatures.
